You could put Aja under ''This is prog?''

I don't understand what 'Universal' Attack means.

Best of 1977/78
Rush - Hempispheres/ A Farewell To Kings
Pink Floyd - Animals
Peter Gabriel - Car
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
UK - UK

Worst
ELP - Love Beach

I'm not sure what "Universal Attack" means either, but I'm assuming they're the best albums of all, seeing as it's top of the list above Masterpiece.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

No, it was released in December 1976, according to RYM, and both Discogs and PA consider it too as 1976 release - that must be why it didn't become a part of my list here, as it's filed as 1976 release on the list of my collection.
