It was close between '72 & '73, but went with '73 because of:
Larks tongues
Dark Side
Yessongs
Selling England

Brain Salad Surgery pushed it for me..............although any Genesis album would've negated it

Have to say 1977.
Was the year I discovered it! Plus we had 'Animals' , 'Going for the one', 'Seconds out', 'Even in the quietest moments' etc etc...

Impossible to name.
I'd say every year from 66-73.

omg! this is a tough one.
it will be betwen 1972-1973. At least for symphonic prog.
Can´t separate them as single years, for me is more like a whole phase.
Lots of big bands recorded amazing albums during this phase:
Foxtrot → Selling England by the Pound (Genesis)
Thick as a Brick → Passion Play (Jethro Tull)
Close to the edge → Tales From Topographic Oceans (recorded on 1973 but released on January 9, 1974) (Yes)
Darwin → Io Sono Nato Libero (Banco)
Uomo di Pezza → Felona e Sorona (Le Orme)
But if someone points a gun at my head and orders me to choose...... i
think ill go....ill go...eh...er....maybe...it could be......1972? But
just for what the five 1972 albums listed above mean to me

I can't pick a single best year.
