I've never come across any Rush haters here. I thought Rush fans here were only slightly behind Yes, Genesis, King Crimson & Pink Floyd fans. ![]() The Rush fans have certainly come out in force in this poll. I expect Rush will win the upcoming 1981 poll too.

There's no rush. The 1981 prog poll is coming right up, with moving pictures too!

But this poll is for the progosphere! ![]() SBB = "Search, Break, Build" ~ which describes their approach to music-making.

I really wanted to vote for either Drama, since it's not getting a lot of love, or even Duke, but Permanent Waves is without question the superior album.

I chose Asia Minor, but Eloy, Steve Hackett, Mike Oldfield, Sky and Alan Parsons are all great.

Actually a pretty strong year, given how prog (and rock in general) fell out of favor in late 70s. So we have, obviously, a straight up great album by Rush, Permanent Waves. But also a bunch of other interesting, 3 star (or even borderline 4) records: Hammill, Hackett, Bruford, Bush and Gabriel for soloists, Yes and Genesis had Drama and Duke, Jethro Tull's A was underrated somewhat... I pick QE2 though, I think nobody has voted for it yet, but it's really solid, at times magnificent album. I wish it had a more exciting cover, it'd have at least 0.2 higher rating on the internet

Too many I haven't heard (YET) to decide, but also too many good ones to decide anyway. Also, doesn't SBB also stand for Silesian Blues Band? They are also listed third on the 1980 rankings list. Makes the list less Anglo-American-centric (despite the Canadians' lead).

It is. Although later on they settled on "Szukaj, Burz, Buduj" – "Search, Break, Build"

Drama is currently in third place with four votes. I wonder if the album would have done any better if I'd placed it at the top of the poll instead. ![]() Although on second thoughts, being at the top of the poll doesn't seem to have done Jon Anderson any good.

I'd choose Tangerine Dream, but only because I haven't heard any albums by Eloy.

Thanks for the tip. I'll make a start on listening to Eloy's albums just as soon as I've finished listening to all of Mike Oldfield's albums. I have a feeling I'm going to like Eloy a lot if they're anything like Nektar. Maybe I'll even get around to writing an Eloy tribute thread, just like I did with Nektar recently.

If you like Nektar you'll probably like them as well. Make sure you'll listen to them with a nice low frequency response, Klaus-Peter Matziol's bass playing is a big part of their sound
