Good choices!  Mine is "Going For The One," one of my favorite Yes platters.  

"Awaken" is one of their all-time best works, and it has many innovative features.  

Otherwise I think I would have picked "Animals."

Nice one Clap! 

Also one of my favorite heavy metal albums was released that year, Judas Priest's Sin After Sin.

Raindances
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Great year!
   From the list, i voted for Eloy-Ocean.
   My favorite records from that year (not listed) are
Prog
    Gentle Giant-The Missing Piece
    Wallenstein-No More Love
    Helmut Koellen-You Won't See Me (prog related)
Heavy rock
     Moxy -Ridin High
     Dirty Tricks-Hit and Run
     Judas Priest-Sin After Sin
     Billion Dollar Babies-Battle Axe

As far as live shows go, i was lucky enough to see Rush on the A Farewell To Kings tour in April of '77, as a mere lad of 14! Great concert.

That's right, that was 1977 too!  I gave that one 5 stars, and actually have just finished listening to an audiobook about it (from the 33 1/3 Series).  A fascinating album that I've loved for decades (art decades, one might say).

Cool, '77 was a great year for live concerts for me too...I was only 17 but had an older friend into prog...even more important, he had wheels and gas money Thumbs Up

FEB: Genesis: Wind and Wuthering tour - Winterland Ballroom SF
APR: Renaissance (with comedian Steve Martin headlining): Paramount Theater Oakland
MAY: Jethro Tull: Songs from the Wood tour - Oakland Arena
JUL: Led Zeppelin (with Judas Priest & Rick Derringer) - Oakland Coliseum (this was the infamous show the day after Richard Cole had beaten up Bill Grahams son - the final US show before Bonzo died)
AUG: ELP (with Journey): Works tour (no orchestra) - Oakland Arena
SEP: Yes (with Donovan): Going for the One tour - Oakland Arena (I was there both nights)

The only show I wanted to see but couldn't get tickets for was the Pink Floyd Animals tour in May.  They sold out 2 nights at the huge outdoor Oakland Coliseum in like 15 minutes Pig

Likewise. Many good albums this year, though I give the edge to Genesis.

Tough choice! Animals, Pibroch, Geese, 1313, Gypsies, Awaken, Julia, Babaji, Peg, or I (Robot).

Floyd, Phillips or Dan.

I vote Aja.
