Hi, All of these in my collection, btw. I think the only one I don't have from the 2 lists is Herbie Hancock and Spirogyra. Both were not as attractive at the time as the European stuff that jumped out at you really well, except to the big 5 or 6 fans! There are some things I did not list, and I stayed with the odd/different stuff a little more. I thought the listing of continuously repeating the same thing kinda .... not really needed. 10cc - First album Acqua Fragile - First album AD2 - Live in London AD2 - Vive La Trance Ange - Le Cimetiere des Arlequins Ash Ra Tempel - Join Inn Banco - Io Sone Nato Libero Brainticket - Celestial Ocean Can - Future Days Capability Brown - Voice Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night Carmen - Fandangos in Space Clearlight - Clearlight Symphony Edgar Broughton Band - Oora Family - It's Only a Movie The Mothers - Overnight Sensation Gong - Angel's Egg Hawkwind - Space Ritual Kayak - See See The Sun Le Orme - Felona e Serona Magma - MDK Man - Back Into The Future Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Solar Fire Nektar - Sounds Like This PFM - Photos of Ghosts Renaissance - Ashes are Burning Roy Harper - Lifemask Tangerine Dream - Atem The Cosmic Jokers - The Cosmic Jokers Utopia - Utopia (Ad2 and friends) Of all these I am specially fond of Capability Brown, Edgar Broughton Band, Roy Harper, AD2 ... well, really, all of them that I listed or I would not have them! I did not list Curved Air or Darryl Way and have both just about complete. Darryl Way's group's third album is better and superior to the first two albums! Have a good listen if you have the time ... we're talking 50 years of listening now! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I never thought of The Who or Led Zeppelin as prog, though both of their 1973 albums are on my favorite albums of the year list--just thought these lists were supposed to be to limited to prog. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

I Can't Explain why many of the traditional Hard Rock bands from My Generation are listed as prog artists on PA either, but I'm glad they're here Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere. The more the merrier.

Would have made my list if it was a 1973-album. But all Cosmic Jokers-albums were released in1974. An attemnt to make a list of ten personal favorites: Dedalus - Dedalus Can - Future Days Magma - Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh Area - Arbeit Macht Frei Eddie Henderson - Realization Gong - Flying Teapot (love Angel's Egg too of course) Faust - Faust IV Alain Goraguer - La Planète Sauvage King Crimson - Larks' Tongue in Aspic Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure +twenty (out of many more) additional titles/artists that needs to be mentioned: Electric Light Orchestra - On the Third Day Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstasy Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra Campo Di Marte - Campo di Marte Axis - Axis Agitation Free - 2nd Spirogyra - Bells, Boots and Shambles Embryo - Rocksession (& We Keep On) Igor Wakhévitch - Hathor Between - And the Waters Opened Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Io Sono Nato Libero Perigeo - Abbiamo Tutti Un Blues Da Piangere Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy The Henry Cow - Legend Camel - CamelLe Orme - Felona E Sorona Battiato - Sulle Corde di Aries Renaissance - Ashes Are Burning Kvartetten Som Sprängde - Kattvals Kraftwerk - Ralf & Florian Love about 60% of Dark Side, really can't stand "Money" at all. There's about a quarter of music on Selling England I won't mind not ever hearing again ("Battle of Epping Forest", "More Foool Me"). As much as I treasure their highlights, they have never been go to albums for me. TFTGO, A Passion Play... there's plenty of things to like on both, but to be honest my ears get tired, my heart remains unmoved and my mind slightly bored. |

*I've seen in as a 1972-release too, but I think it's wrong (it was recorded in 1970 anyway). Is that the reason it's missing from your list? I prefer it to the also great Song For My Lady.
