Just saying... still have fun doing new lists!

And Paul's 1977 was almost 2 years ago, so I guess, fine to have a fresh one. Smile

The year 1977, even coming after The Golden Age of Progressive Rock, still created some fine classic Prog, 
not least outside UK.
My faves are:

Camel  (UK)  -  Rain Dances   (1977)

Eloy  (D)  -  Ocean  (1977)

Fermáta  (TCH)  -  Pieseň z Hôľ  (1977)

Guruh Gipsy  (Indonesia)  -  Guruh Gipsy   (1977)

Heldon  (F)  -  Heldon 6. Interface   (1977) 

Locanda delle Fate  (I)  -  Forse le Lucciole non se Amano Piû  (1977)

Pink Floyd  (UK)  -  Animals  (1977)

Pulsar  (F)  -  Halloween  (1977)

Sheshet  (Israel)  -  Sheshet  (1977)

Jukka Tolonen  (FIN)  -  A Passenger to Paramaribo  (1977)
