1973 would be a close second with the aforementioned Tubular Bells, and DSotM of course, amongst other notable prog works.

YS? You mean the album by Il Balletto Di Bronzo? I agree. That's a great album.

For me it has to be 1972 - the year of two of the most iconic prog albums of all time - TAAB and CTTE.

1973 for me. The year of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, Renaissance' Ashes Are Burning and Genesis' Selling England by the Pound, to name just three. Smile

I figure most (including me) will say it was in the 70s so I didn't bother with later years. If I did then I would have to have put them all out. No one later year seems to stand out though. Plus, consensus seems to be that prog's peak years were in the first half of the 70s so there you go. Wink
