So What do you guys think was the best year in prog? This is based on a thread found in the prog lounge: ( http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4886&PN=1 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4886&a mp;a mp;a mp;PN=1 ) Yes, it is biased towards the 1970's, which commercially were the heyday of prog, but choices run from "1967 (Sgt Pepper/Piper/Days of Future Passed)" to "1980 (Duke/Drama/etc.)" -------------

I'll say 1968 and 1971 because in 1968 (late 1968) aerosol grey machine came out and 1971 because of pawn hearts.

Hey!!!!! You stold my topic!...thats right I am also matias boettner...I dont use that user anymore because...well...I forgot my password... But anyway...I use to say 1973, but I think that the most prolific year must have been 1972...but there was no Crimson release!!! I cant put that year as the best without crimson...but there is fragil, close to the edge, foxtrot, thick as a brick...its hard!!!

1972 by a nose from 1973
Wow. Since 2 out of the top 3 in the ProgArchives Top 100 were recorded in this year, this has to be the winner. |

I hate to say 1972, just because it lacks Floyd(), but Fragile, Close to the Edge, and Thick as a Brick are reason enough to choose it. |
