24 titles that does not interest me and a masterpiece:

Dead Can Dance - Within the Realms of a Dying Sun. Of course there are other great albums from that year.

Swans Children of God is a favorite. Other than that I don't enjoy much with a PA-relevance. These three would complete a personal top five:

Azanyah - The One
The Sisters of Mercy - Floodland
Roberto Laneri - Anadyomene

Yes. It has the amazing guitar playing of Martin Barre. Quite a solid album, regardless if it's metal or not.

It's good that we all have preferences. The world would be boring if everyone liked the same music.

For me, there are six titles in this poll that I enjoy quite a bit. DCD is not one of them. Wink

I can honestly say there are no albums I dislike in this poll, mainly because there's no Gentle Giant, King Crimson or Van der Graaf Generator albums in the poll.

Looking back, the 1980's were a surprisingly good decade for prog, although I didn't think so at the time, mainly because I didn't know many of these albums back in the pre-internet days, when I only knew one album (Deep Purple - The House of Blue Light) in this poll. Embarrassed

Pink Floyd, then Marillion.

Rush album is actually my least favorite from their discography, such a letdown after the amazing Power Windows.

I suppose it all boils down to those preferences again:) I enjoy loads early 80's prog though (of the kind you don't like). To me this is primarely a list of either artists that were struggling to stay relevant in a changed musical climate. While those newly formed bands who don't fit that description didn't bring much new to the table, but mostly made a sort of simplified version of 1970's prog. Which is fine by me. I don't need all music to be groundbreaking. I just don't care for 1980's neo prog very much personally.

I love two of these, namely the Earthworks album and Dead Can Dance. I'll go with Earthworks. I think much Earthworks work is great, and very underappreciated. Crest of a Knave is at least OK.

Posted By: Argo2112

Between Crest of a Knave & Clutching at Straws for me . I went with Tull here. I always thought that was an underrated album.

Although I have several of these albums (plus seeing some of the associated tours), 87 was probably a low point for prog...

While my list would be very different overall, definitely the Dead Can Dance of these (a sure favourite of mine from the year), but I also have enjoyed the Mr. Sirius album.

Two particular favourites of mine in PA and not in the list are Swans' Children of God and Art Zoyd's Berlin.

It's good to see Pink Floyd doing surprisingly well here. There are five potential albums I could vote for in this poll:- The Chris Hinze Combination; Dead Can Dance; Geoff Downes; Outer Limits or Tangerine Dream. My vote goes to the eye of the Tyger - one of the few Tangerine Dream albums (besides Cyclone) to feature vocals. Smile

I had a feeling DCD's Within the Realm of a Dying Sun would be your favourite album in this poll. Wink

Dead Can Dance are one of those offbeat bands I only discovered after I went online in 2010.

Number of albums I'd listened to in the poll before 2010 = 1 (DP)

Number of CD albums I currently own in the poll = 5 (APP; DCD: MO; PF; YES)

Number of albums I've listened to in the poll now = 25 Big smile

You could say the year I first went online in 2010 was my musical renaissance, when I discovered there's a lot more to Symphonic Prog than just Renaissance. Tongue

In no particular order:

Marillion - Clutching at Straws ("Sugar Mice", unbeatable)

Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason ("On the Turning Away", one of the best compositions without Waters)

Rush - Hold Your Fire ("Time Stand Still", "Prime Mover" and "Mission", very good songs)
Jethro Tull - Crest of a Knave ("Budapest", brilliant composition that could be on any of their best albums without any problem)

YES - Big Generator (It's not the classic Yes, but for me it's underrated, I really like "Shoot High Aim Low" and "Holy Lamb")
