I like the whole list - what a great year for prog. So I thought I would give one of the under-dogs a vote: Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menial - an awesome album that certainly holds it's own with all the greats on this list!

One of my fave years as I got heavily into prog the year before. I have all but one of these on vinyl and still play more than half of them regularly. I voted for Yes tonight but it could have been any one of Crimson, Genesis, Camel or Tangerine Dream on another night.

By now my vote goes to THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY, with honorable mention to Camel (Mirage is not one of my favourite albums, otherwise I certainly would change my vote). Unfortunately I still don't know Hero and Heroine - Strawbs and Hamburger Concerto-Focus, two of the next albums I'm looking forward to listen.

Of those listed, Crime of the Century (absolutely stellar in concert), Apostrophe (one of my favorite Zappa albums), and Red. Also of note, and not listed, the criminally underrated War Child by Tull, diminished only due to the other superb albums the band released previously.

I tend to feel like the only one on this site who's not a fan of Relayer. I'd even go as far as to say it's my least favorite album of there's from the 70's. |
I'm not particularly a fan of Relayer either, though I must say that I love Gates of Delirium, and just because of that I put this album rather on the "I like it" side.

Difficult choice since there are a lot of great albums from this year, but I'll choose Camel Mirage.

I think you're pretty much in the minority on that one, my friend. |
Of course I am. It's pretty boring though |
You must lead an extraordinarily exciting life, then.

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I love the title cut from Hamburger Concerto...especially the crazy vocal section

Relayer just inches above The Lamb for me...'74 is my all time favourite year...prog or otherwise. In addition to those that made the list, some prog and some not that I love...Ange - Au Dela Du Delire Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark Grateful Dead - From the Mars Hotel Hawkwind - Quark Strangeness and Charm Queen - Queen II Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties |
Quark, Strangeness & Charm is from 1977 !! Hall of the Mountain Grill was the Hawk's '74 album  |
Oops...thanks for the correction...I had it in my music file as '74. I always knew Hawkwind was ahead of their time
