Yes, let's stop this ridiculous polarization without content.

To me The Wall (that once meant a lot to me) is so much a representative of the spirit of the eighties, that I tend to say - at least prog-wise - that the eighties started in '79 - anyone get what I hint at?

Best regards

I chose 1979 because with the end of the 70s it was an end of a "golden era", but, in fact, the 80's were a very deadly decade for what we call "prog" and it's still taking some time to re-introduce the kind of music I grew up with to the younger people, but, to our fortune, they are LISTENING and there's many good bands that came up with the "neo-prog" wave or whatever you call it. Last year I had the fortune to listewn to a local band, all young persons, who really caught the spirit of "prog" to me... their name was "Odd Udder"... crazy stuff, very inspired, very special.
I do believe there's a future for "prog" after in the 80s there seemed to be a break in development and nothing went further !
...I'm a musician/singer/songwriter, visit me on www.reverbnation.com/rupertlenz and there you can choose from 125 recordings you can listen to ( for free ) if you're not limited to prog-rock !

1976, the year the Ramones debuted and ruined everything.

1979 was better because they released The Wall Clap



Genesis was not a pop artist in 1978.

...And Then There Were Three is a good album with some classic tracks.

1978 was saved on the sake of Rush's Hemispheres Clap
 
Of course The Wall could have saved 1979, but there were less prog records released that year, and about as many bad records too; also, the Floyd classic didn't come out until December, so much of the album's impact carries into 1980.

1979 was a little poppy to me.
The glory days was 69-75 and after 76 it just went down....
Until 1984!
