   I chose 81 because of "Discipline" and "Moving pictures".Although 86 was great for metal with "Rage for Order" and "Awaken the Guardian".

	Absolute shocker of a decade - I perused my collection and would be hard pressed to find more than two good releases for any year during this period. On that basis no vote possible I'm afraid. On a less negative note prog rock has come on leaps and bounds since then, so I tend to look at the 80's as "The Lost Decade" - so no loss to me. I did tend to buy only classical and opera at the time, in part because, for me, rock music had hit an all-time low. Edited by Glueman - January 08 2007 at 07:15

	decided for ´85 "Power Windows" and "Misplaced Childhood" but very close to ´87 "Hold Your Fire" and ´88 "Operation Mindcrime"...

	80/81. Permanent Waves or Moving Pictures. Can't decide which I like more, but I went with PW.

	1985... I really don't know if this was the best prog year from the 80's but it eas the year when MISPLACED CHILDOOD were released and I think that's enough...

	Either 1980 or 1981, imo. 1980, Permanent Waves (rush) and Drama (yes) were released. 1981, Moving Pictures (rush) and Discipline (king crimson) were released.

	The 80s are the least popular prog years. Which year was the best for prog?
