There are multipe ways of creating different "specialized" charts. But none of them would single out exactly all the "PA-relevant" albums so I ended up just picking "prog" from the complete 1980 and 1981 charts, checking those I was uncertan about (and also excluding Prog-Related + Proto-Prog).   

thanks for this information

What is that Slapp Happy album doing there - unless you are referring to the release of the original 1973 recording of Acnalbasac Noom being released.  This was rejected by Virgin.

Yes the Slapp Happy album released in 1980 (by Reccomended Records) is the 1973-album version that Virgin refused to release.

Peter Gabriel, Budd/Eno, Alan Parsons' Project, with special mention to Asia Minor and Rush.

Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Doc at the Radar Station
Peter Hammill - A Black Box
Zamla Mammaz Manna - Familjesprickor

I usually vote Pekka Pohjola whenever I can, but Kätkävaaran lohikäärme is among his weaker albums I think.

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

Zamla Mammaz Manna Familijespriickor
or Present's Triskaidékaphobie
