Focus? Genesis? GG? Gryphon? Supertramp? Yes?

All great albums and worthy contenders, but the winner for me is MIRAGE!

This is my birthyear and my second favorite year in prog. Had to decide to include just one album by each band/artist. That left out In Camera; Roxy & Elsewhere, Wurdah Itah, Midnight Mushrooms; Starless and Bible Black... And there's not enough poll choices for worthy albums by: PFM, Arti e Mestieri, Dzyan, Henry Cow, Roxy Music...

My favorite is the first album in the poll, and the next fifteen are pretty accuratly placed. What's your most treasured progalbum of this year?

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
