Thanks for all the responses.  I'll note that 1973, which I consider an amazingly great year for Italian Symphonic Prog has no votes with my particular choice.  While there are many great choices (according to my tastes) for that year, and darned near any classic Prog lover (was tempted to list Clearlight - Forever Blowing Bubbles, MO's Birds of Fire, Samla Mammas Manna's Matild, and love Magma's MDK but didn't want to repeat bands in the list) but decided beforehand to choose an Italian Symph Prog classic due to some splendid one and two off efforts.  Museo Rosenbach's Zarathustra was the first to spring to mind (and my usual choice of the year) but at the last minute opted not to because, well, I suddenly decided to choose something perhaps a bit less obvious for an Italian Prog lover such as myself -- and bit more obscure..  Also, I was a little torn between Alphataurus, Museo..., Il Rovescio Della...'s Contaminazione, Le Orme's Felona e Serona, and Banco del...'s Io Sono Nato Libero.  Considering that Le Orme and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso are two of my favourite bands, it is a bit strange in a way that I didn't go for any representative.  But then I'd probably choose BdMS's debut, and Le Orme's Contrappunti.

For 1975 I almost went with Carpe Diem's En Regardent Passer le Temps (and Crucis is an older fave).

Hmm, not sure why I'm saying this as it's just another personal list of favourites where I could have chosen quite a few others as well.
Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

I can't seem to choose between Aquiring the Taste, Hybris and Storia Di Un Minuto. All are fantastic albums.

There are so many excellent albums in this poll, but my vote goes to "Storia Di Un Minuto" by PFM.

tough call... but went with Magma's debut.. over time has become my favorite from them, and I think I've converted Raff as well. GREAT album.

1)  Hamburger Concerto      one of the best prog albumClap
2) Soft Machine vol1              where it all started
3) Pulsar      strands              the exceptional writing overcomes cheap production
4) Magma   kobaias              they're created their own sound; there is only one Magma
5) Art Zoyd  Berlin                  they're from another world
 
Whoa!! 3 french band out of 5; they're good!!
 
Logan! congrats for the list; finally one without the usual suspects!!!Thumbs%20Up

Familiar, and love most of these albums. My top five (the spesific albums, not bands) from here is probably something like this:
1 Magma
2 Gentle Giant
3 Eskaton
4 PFM
5 Hellebore
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
