What I can tell is that in 1978 my music interest started to turn away from progressive music.

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

The most recent CD albums I own by each of the second "Big Six", although I realise it's still a contentious issue as to who the second "Big Six" really are, when it's more a matter of personal choice than an established fact. Wink

Barclay James Harvest - XII

Camel - Harbour of Tears

Caravan - Cunning Stunts

The Moody Blues - December

Renaissance - The Other Woman

Rush - Counterparts

ELP: BSS (bought ELPowell)

Genesis: ATTW3

Crimson: Discipline, though I have a few after that

Tull: Stormwatch (got RTB... and Crest after a couple of decades after release)

Floyd: never stopped buying (though I wish I hadn't AMLOR)

Yes: Tormato/Drama (and the two KTA afterwards)

Tangerine Dream: Force Majeure (Green desert is the only one since)

Caravan: Blind Dog

Rush: Pictures

Camel: Moonmadness

I wasn't into Soft Machine, GG & VdGG back in the 70's

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

^^ Great idea for a thread Rick, but I think you might get similar answers from many! Also, I think you have to be of a certain erm 'vintage' to refer to 'on release' since my comments will be retrospective, but I'll give it a go.

Genesis: Duke.. Abacab is too much

Yes: Drama 90125 isn't Yes, but then I oddly loved Talk and Magnification isn't bad either

Camel: Rain Dances.. Breathless is too much of a divergence, but Rajaz was very good

Pink Floyd: The Wall, although Division Bell is pretty good

ELP: Brain Salad Surgery, and that was a stretch for me

BJH: XII.. a notable change after Wooly left

Hawkwind: Simply too complicated to answer... the subject of a doctorial thesis..

Moody Blues: Obviously Seventh Sojourn... everything after (more or less) is total pap..

Mike Oldfield: Very hit and miss after Incantations, still exploring much of it

Kansas: The first Five and that's it to be honest

Rush: They didn't lose me until Vapour Trails, which along with Snakes, I never could get into

Eloy: Oddly, I know the answer should be Performance, but there isn't an album I don't enjoy, even the much derided Ra. Go figure.

I hope that's been helpful, thanks for the question...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I am sure many of you remember the pre-internet days when you eagerly awaited the latest album from your favourite bands. Then, one day, you stopped buying 'on release'. Something happened, something put you off. Starting with the so-called 'big six', what was the last album by them that you bought on release??

ELP - Works Vol. 1*

Genesis - Duke

Jethro Tull - Rock Island

King Crimson - Beat

Pink Floyd - Momentary Lapse

Yes - Union**

*but I did get ELPowell when it came out!

**but I didn't get 'Big Generator'
