Yuck. What a horrible year for prog. I'll go with Hawkwind, as it's the only one I can listen to in one sitting.

Misplaced Childhood or The Wake - IQ gets it for me by a fraction.

I'm a big fan of The Jewel, that one gets my vote.
I also like The Wake and Misplaced Childhood a lot.

Same here, but I might have voted for Present as well. IQ was the most magical neo act at the time, and remains now a solid veteran 25 years later: this band surpassed (by a little margin) the robustness of neo pioneers Twelfth Night and surpassed teh compositional brilliancy of rivals/colleagues Marillion. While the latter were becoming softer, the latter became darker (at least, until Paul Menel got in...). Kind regards from Lima.

I can't believe Metal Fatigue hasn't got a vote. Haven't heard Power Windows, it had better be really good! -------------

Some lost gems in 1985, but my vote goes for the amazing Misplaced Childhood followed by Power Windows! ------------- Prog´ everyday in every way of your life including music! |

Shame I won't be there for that
 one as I'm sure it'll be a great show.Same vote for me too. There were quite a few good 'uns from '85 though. I rate The Jewel as Pendragon's best whilst I thought Power Windows was much better than most did.
