These are arranged chronologically by recorded date. I decided not to overload this one and save some of jazzier stuff for another poll.
 You may notice a few at best choices that aren't on this site but I find them to crossover prog. And I know more than a few you will agree  I'm leaning to Frith but there are more than a few good choices here.Edited by Slartibartfast - January 13 2019 at 12:15 |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Some very cool albums here. I'll have to go with King Crimson, but is a very good collection of albums.

Marillion out of these.
IQ's album from 1983 is pretty great as well. Just as good as Script.

There are some great albums here, and typically Frank Zappa would give some competition, but since "Thing-Fish" is the album from him that I despise the most, King Crimson's "Three of a Perfect Pair" takes the prize.

I haven't really checked out IQ yet. Not surprised the reaction to Thing-Fish. You know Zappa did a pictorial for Hustler for that album. It's verry strange. That's one I got used and decided not to throw back. Heheh Rupert Hine is one that I bet a lot of people aren't familiar with. His album Immunity came into the new/used book store I was working at in high school and I noticed Phil Collins was on it. Plus the cover was interesting and that's what got me into him.

3 of a Perfect Pair...definitely my fave of Crimso's 80's trilogy and my fave off this list. Would've gone with IQ's Tales from the Lush Attic instead if it was here

I haven't listened to half of the records on this list, so I don't vote for fairness. Among those I know, my preference goes to Marillion, because Crimson's TOAPP is perhaps the album I like least of that marvelous group. Police are close.
Glad to see Tears For Fears. Other albums recorded in 1983 that I like: Most of all: Pink Floyd: The Final Cut and Tom Waits: Swordfishtrombones Then: REM: Murmur The The: Soul Mining Dylan: Infidels McCartney: Pipes of Peace Italians: - Paolo Conte: homonym - Guccini: Autogrill - Fortis: Fragole infinite

With 20 choices in this poll I think it would be more meaningful to open this up to multiple votes. What say ye all?

More thought on these: (BTW, keep the albums I might have missed coming
)Speaking In Tongues was a bit of a letdown after Remain In Light, but I still liked it. Just a bit less. Marillion's Script was a very satisfying return to the form of old Genesis. I quit following them after this one for no particular reason. I had Grendel on tape along with the original album back in my early college months. The Fripp influence on Summers was what really got my attention drawn to Synchronicity. It became another one of those albums that brings back early college memories. Crisis? What Crisis? This one totally passed me by. I didn't get a copy until 2003 Tears For Fears might not have go my attention were it no for my uncle Mark having The Hurting on CD. Love the mellotron on it. Ponty's album was another one that passed me by. Now Mark Isham. I was introduced to him with the soundtrack to Never Cry Wolf. I would get my first synthesizer in 1984 and his work on that soundtrack and Vapor Drawings would be a big influence on my playing style. I think I have a video that I put together on youtube I made with my Korg Poly 64 taped to cassette live and combined with some spacey video I had on VHS from PBS And then that awesome Eno ambient album. Say no more. Hine's album was a lot of synth pop but there's some crossover material on it too. The Most Dangerous of Men comes to mind first. Oh my gawd. Frith's Cheap At Half The Price. Such a great summary of what was wrong with this country at the time under the Reagan Regime. Some clouds don't some clouds don't some clouds don't some clouds don't have a silver lining. Plus it was electric guitar and a casio keyboard in a home studio. Kind of a mocking of synth pop. More thoughts to follow. And once again, the 80's weren't really a total wasteland. We just couldn't really look back to the prog greats of the '70's with a few exceptions... Edited by Slartibartfast - January 13 2019 at 17:51 |

From this list, I only care for Script and Speaking In Tongues...
The rest, either I know (and don't care) or I don't (and from the looks of it, I don't care)

Going with Marillion here. And, yes, Synchronicity kicked butt that year as well.
