    Posted: April 18 2023 at 13:53

The year 1977, even coming after The Golden Age of Progressive Rock, still created some fine classic Prog, 
not least outside UK.
My faves are:

Camel  (UK)  -  Rain Dances   (1977)

Eloy  (D)  -  Ocean  (1977)

Fermáta  (TCH)  -  Pieseň z Hôľ  (1977)

Guruh Gipsy  (Indonesia)  -  Guruh Gipsy   (1977)

Heldon  (F)  -  Heldon 6. Interface   (1977) 

Locanda delle Fate  (I)  -  Forse le Lucciole non se Amano Piû  (1977)

Pink Floyd  (UK)  -  Animals  (1977)

Pulsar  (F)  -  Halloween  (1977)

Sheshet  (Israel)  -  Sheshet  (1977)

Jukka Tolonen  (FIN)  -  A Passenger to Paramaribo  (1977)

Paul has done a series of top 10 per year that was later extended by Mirakaze up to the present. The 1977 one is currently on page 12 of the Top 10s subforum.
Just saying... still have fun doing new lists!

And Paul's 1977 was almost 2 years ago, so I guess, fine to have a fresh one. Smile

Actually, we do encourage people to use the search (search all dates if using PA search) to see if the same topic (or similar enough) has been done before, and especially if it is unlocked then to respond to that instead of making a new topic. We discourage duplicates commonly. It helps keep the place more organised, we get to see what other posters who may not still be around thought, and those still here who posted can edit their old posts to show if it changed or can add that to the old topic. That said, I wasn't going to comment on just doing this the one time for one year, but if any more years were to be done, then please do search for the older topic and respond there. Cheers.

Sorry for this somewhat off topic question, but how exactly do you find this using the PA search? How can you specify "all dates"? I actually tried looking for 1977 but found a thread from 2005 and Paul's recent "prog line" but not the one I wanted to find, which I eventually only could nail down going back the pages in the Top 10s subforum, somewhat tediously. In my experience the forum search is a mess, but then I may not use it properly!?

When going to Search, you have to click on advanced search. Then Find Posts, click on Any Date from the dropdown.

If I were to look it up, then the fields I would use and ones to choose to limit results:
Search by Keyword: 1977
Search Forum: Top 10s and lists
Search in: Topic Subject
Find Posts: Any Date
Display Results As: Topics

Start Search

and Paul's is the second result.

EDIT: I was too slow as I was more detailed than necessary.
I was going to mention that I have been asked to unlock old topic various times and am usually willing if not inflammatory ones. Many old topics auto-locked. SO just because a topic is locked like the one you want to start, often it can be good to PM me asking for it to be unlocked.

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer

prefer lifting our pen
