Best Albums Of 1975! (after WYWH)

Shadow of the Heirophant is the best song Genesis never wrote.   Voyage Of The Acolyte quite a bit times flirts with the erudite music style, f.e. in Shadow of The Hierophant that female singer whose name I don't recall sings in a way which would hardly or never fit in the Genesis music.

The broad's name is Sally Oldfield (sister of Mike). And with three-fifths of the '72-'74 Genesis gang on board, it surely seemed to resemble a Genesis album that might have been. To each his own.

I couldn't dare try putting them in order:

VdGG - Godbluff
Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All
Edgar Froese - Epsilon in Malaysian Pale
Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn
Camel - The Snow Goose
Harmonium - Si On Avait Besoin fhdisahufj ghfkjdsp;
Renaissance - Scheherazade
Maxophone - s/t
Hatfield and the North - Rotter's Club

and pretty much the others that people have mentioned.

I feel like I just wasted a post, but hey points are points

^You've got me willing to dig Milton again, I don't know this album of him.

Personal favorites from 1975:

A Cherry 5 fan (Security!)!

Los Jaivas - El Indio was a great album released at that time. Here is a song from the album called Los Jaivas - Guajira Cósmica   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be8p0GtbB4Y

El Indio is an overlooked gem, considering the recognition Alturas gets usually.

We love Obras de Violeta Parra (which was released a few years later) even better than Alturas, but will definitely check out El Indio. Such a great band, deserving of much more praise in the prog community!
