I'm not quite sure about Meddle... I mean, Echoes reigns supreme over pretty much all prog and One of these Days is great, too, but somehow I can't warm to the rest of it and this somehow kills it as full album for me.
How one cannot love A Pillow of Winds and Fearless is beyond me, but its not the first time I've failed to understand other human beings.

Man hard to vote against either Yes album, hard to vote against Tarkus, even Pawn Hearts. But in the end, Caravan takes this one(for me).

So many master pieces. I vote for Genesis, but could have voted for almost all others...

One album I would like to just mention(from the year I was born), is An Invisible World Revealed by Krokodil. Probably wouldn't get any votes here but it is a personal favorite of mine.

Wonderful choice of albums. I'll go for The Yes Album edging out Tarkus, followed by Nursery Cryme, Fragile and then Meddle completing my top 5, with the rest close behind.

Aqualung - Jethro Tull. But since it's not on the list, Yes.

The Yes Album > Nursery Cryme > Tarkus > Fragile > Grey and Pink > Pawn Hearts > Islands > Acquiring the Taste > Meddle

Great albums, all of them.

Acquiring the Taste, pretty easily. Only one of these which ranks with my favorites from that year.

Lots of great albums missing, but from these it´s Fragile (the Yes Album & In the Land of Grey & Pink is also really close).

Meddle > Nursery Cryme > Fragile > Islands >= The Yes Album >= Grey and Pink > Acquiring the Taste >= Pawn Hearts > Tarkus 

Great list btw. 6 of these are 5 star albums in my book.

Oh geez... that is a difficult question. Who's next, meddle, L.A woman, zeppelin IV, nursery crime, and fragile are probably the tops for me... I think I'd have to go with who's next, just because that album is personally close to me.

This might be the big breakout year for prog(too bad I was still in diapers). 

Anyway, what about these two:

PFM- Storia di un minuto
Focus - Moving Waves

Also, journey to the center of the eye by Nektar.
