I had to vote the Wall. I don't care if it is prog or not. The sheer number of times I've been able to listen to this and be fully captivated is shocking to me.

i I like all from the list minus Tangernine Dream, never was my kind of music. My vote is UK - Danger Money, a very underrated album IMO.

Bruford's album is excellent. Then - The Wall, Danger Money and FZ. Good year for great music!

The Wall is a monumental achievement and one of the greatest albums of all time. Sheik Yerbouti and Force Majeure are other standouts.

Spectral Mornings, Heresie, Wall and Force Majeure
 
I went for the latter, because it didn't have votes yet.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

This is a really tough one, '79 was clearly a great year for prog.  I can think of a few other classics from '79 too Wink.
 
Danger Money is an awesome album, Force Majeure is TD's 2nd best and the Eloy album is on reflection my favourite album by the band.  I also really like Spectral Mornings.  I find it really tough not to vote for The Wall though.  It's such an iconic album, fine songs and very atmospheric..  I don't love all of the album but on the whole it's superb.
 
No vote for the moment........

Heresie, by a small margin. Mostly good albums, but I have to admit that I hate most of The Wall.

Difficult. Bruford, Hackett and UK made some excellent albums. Okay, I choose Bruford.
 
The Wall is a good album, but not as good as the three other that I mentioned.

Went with Bruford. The Wall has its moments but I think that it is far from being the best from PF.

Gotta go with the majority here - I love The Wall.  I also really like UK's Danger Money too - I didn't realise it was the same year as The Wall!

Steve Hackett for Spectral Mornings

In 1979 there are two other good albuns to remember:

Camel -  I can see your house from here

Santana -  Oneness: Silver Dreams, Golden Reality

Obviously The wall even if it's a cliché but still a masterpiece.
