Nice to be remembered. And that's truly a perfect masterpiece of an album (They have quite I think)

the album featured the entire line up of Colosseum II (Jon Hiseman , Gary Moore , John Mole and Don Airey) plus Julian Lloyd Webber (Cello) , Rod Argent and Barbara Thompson (Sax) . Some strong prog credentials there!

Now this is a surprising list! I'd have thought I may be the only one here who knows that Lift album (it has some good stuff but I wouldn't have put it up there, anyway it's nice to see it mentioned). Some more great stuff that didn't make my list but surely would have without my absolute determination to cut at 10, such as Kate Bush, Eloy, Bubu, Grobschnitt - and some stuff I don't know myself (Iman, Mona Lisa) that I may check just based on the fact that it appears on this big fun list.

...actually I edited my list to put Bubu in, which in my system has the wrong year associated with it.

1. Cathedral Stained Glass Stories
2. Bubu Anabelas  
3. UK s/t
4. Dixie Dregs What If
5. Happy The Man Crafty Hands
6. Styx Pieces Of Eight
7. National Health Of Queues And Cans
8. Steve Hackett Please Don't Touch
9. Jethro Tull Heavy Horses
10. Rush Hemispheres

Prog was still alive and well in 1978 (contrary to popular opinion.)

Thanks Lewian! The Lift album has a special place in my heart with the Meeresfahrt suite and Tagesreise as highlights. 1978 was a good year for music in both Germanys.
