'78 studio albums by acts w/ a 70 or earlier debut - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I have chosen 1978 studio albums (ergo no King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator, Pink Floyd etc.) in PA Prog subgenres (so I excluded, say, Vangelis even if you or I think that he is Prog category worthy) that released the first studio album no later than 1970 (ergo no Rush, Clivage, Area, Nik Turner, Bubu etc.). Please feel free vote for one of them even if you only know and like that one. If you don't like any of them, I wouldn't bother voting for any of them even if you know it.

I was tempted to make an exception for Vangelis, but didn't. Do feel free to list an "other" if the band/artist is included in a PA Prog category, is from 1978, and had released at least one studio album in 1970 or earlier. And if it's a studio album that you like and think should be considered Prog, and it meets the "released an album no later than 1970" criterion, feel free to mention that too, but please try to vote for one from the list if you can and feel comfortable doing so. :)

As an added request, which is totally optional, please include one youtube video of your choice of one track that you like if possible (but NOT full studio albums as that is generally discouraged). The idea is to give people a taste of the music who might not know it.

I hope I made no errors or obvious omissions.

Amon Düül II - Only Human
Barclay James Harvest - XII
Camel - Breathless
Can - Out of Reach
Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)
Genesis - ...And Then There Were Three...
Gentle Giant - Giant for a Day
Gong - Expresso II
Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses
Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine (The Man-Machine)
Magma - Attahk
Missus Beastly - Space Guerilla
Ponty, Jean-Luc - Cosmic Messenger
Popol Vuh - Nosferatu: Brüder des Schattens - Söhne des Lichts or Nosferatu (On the Way to a Little Way)
Renaissance - A Song for All Seasons
Stivell, Alan - Journée à la maison
Tangerine Dream - Cyclone
Yes - Tormato
Zappa, Frank - Studio Tan

There are a number that I really like here, but I am in Attahk mode.

	Renaissance - A song for all seasons is amazing. Up there with their greatest records. Magma - Attahk is also amazing, along with Heavy Horses and Man-Machine, but it is Magma that will get my vote.
