Fascinating year, isn't it? Rise of punk, first signs of the major UK bands starting to become complacent and/or lose their way a bit, but still so much incredibly progressive music bubbling to the surface.

Here's my list, in no particular order. Nothing that hasn't already been mentioned by this point.
  • Circus - Movin' On
  • Greaves, Blegvad and Herman - Kew. Rhone.
  • Gentle Giant - Playing the Fool
  • Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood
  • Happy the Man - Happy the Man
  • Yes - Going for the One
  • England - Garden Shed
  • Island - Pictures
  • Plat du Jour - Plat du Jour
  • The Enid - Aerie Faerie Nonsense

I haven't done my 70's lists, I just felt it was too overwhelming at the time I did the other years but I will eventually I'm sure.
So just going over some of the albums from that year I'll go with these although far from an official list because I know I will miss some.
In no order...
Rush- A Farewell To Kings
Pink Floyd- Animals
Supertramp- Even In The Quietest Moments
Locanda Delle Fate- Forse Le...
Heldon- Interface
Archaia- s/t
Plat Du Jour- s/t
Al DiMeola- Elegant Gypsy
Coma- Financial Tycoon
Aera- Hand Und Fuss
Anna Sjalv Tredje- Tussilago Fanfara
Hermeto Pascoal- Slave Mass
PSI- Horizonte

Great year for Jazz and Electronic albums. Bennie Maupin's Slow Traffic To The Right, Jean-Luc Ponty's Enigmatic Ocean and Iceberg's Sentiments along with what I picked. Then Klaus Shulze's Mirage and many others in electronics.

I missed Epidaurus' Earthly Paradise as well, I need to spin this again I sure rated it high. I'll mention Island, Lard Free, Arco Iris, Smak, Shylock and Patrick Forgas as releasing strong records that year as well.

I'm surely suprised that nobody else than I has listed this one.  Embarrassed

For what it's worth, it was a gnat's whisker away from making mine. I only discovered it comparatively recently and have heard it maybe three times at most, so it's possible if you asked me again in a few years it might have made its way up there.

Yeah, I just listened to it for the first time 3 days ago, after listening to it I would probably put over Citadel by Starcastle.
