I figured I would throw in a UZ album even though I'm not really familiar with it. Smile

While there are many I love not on the list, I gave Ceux du Dehors a vote. Second on the list would be Scary Monsters. Not on the list, well, those are two of my favourite years for music: Art Zoyd's Generation sans Futur and Symphonie Pour Le Jour, Dun's Eros, Eskaton's 4 Visions and Ardeur, Bobby Beausoliel's Lucifer Rising, Picchio dal Pozzo's Abbiamo Tutti I Suoi Problemi, Present's Triskaïdékaphobie, Eider Stellaire I, Serge Bringolf's Vision, Abus Dangereux' Le Quatrieme Mouvement, Art Bears' The World As It Is Today etc.

Oh god help me, too hard, Discipline, Drama, Duke, Defector, basically any record that started with 'D' .   Not to mention the two greatest Rush albums, like ever, dude.

voted Drama mostly because Crimson was taking a bit from David Byrne.   Otherwise, Discipline all the way, thing blew my and every other musician's mind.

Unless I can vote for everything, I can't vote. LOL

'80-81 are two crazy, intense years for prog, metal, AND jazz-fusion. Really. Tangerine Dream, Saga, Gamma, Twelfth Night, Al Di Meola, etc., also released some of their best material in that small window.

What metal do you like from that year? Those years I should have said.

For an album released in 1980, I prefer Peter Gabriel III (Melt) to any of these.
