Well, pretty much everyone thinks that 1973 was the best year for prog rock, now what's the worst? And why?

I would unknowingly guess that 1979 was the worst year (though 78 could be.)
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

1978. Punk was completely stablished. Genesis and Gentle Giant had become pop artists Dead. Yes released Tormato, which is not a bad album, but is their worst of the 70's. Pink Floyd didn't release anything that year.

1979 was better because they released The Wall Clap

Good job you didn't elicit opinions on the worst year in the 80's - how on earth would anyone be able to narrow it down to one year?

hahah if Hemispheres of all albums eliminates '78  then I'll counter that Mezquita's 'Recuerdos de mi Tierra' eliminates '79.  If you think prog was dead in the late 70's... move out of the English mindset and check out the spanish prog scene. 

my vote for... worst year for classic prog rock... easy.... 1972


Bruford leaves Yes CryLOL
LOL

1979, because Floyd began their downward spiral with The Wall. And I honestly can't think of anything good that was released that year.
