1980. The Decade all prog rock enthusiats call "the beginning of the end". Here are many choices. Unlike other polls I feel  I have covered many Bands. I am Interested in what you think. For me it is Yes - Drama ...........

I vote Rush and Yes would be my second option, but it could be Jean-Luc Ponty. Thats a good album, I think I reviewed it and gave it 4 or 5 stars.

Permanent Waves is one of my favorite Rush albums. There's not much else there worth voting for

The selection is getting limited by 1980; not a year for masterpieces.
 
I'll go with HAWKWIND's ''Levitation''     yes, with Ginger Baker on drums.
 
TANGRAM from TD is a close second.
I love John Wetton stuff, but this album on this poll is the worst he recorded

1. Jean-Luc Ponty (with Randy from american idol on bass )- Civilized Evil
2. Rush- Permanent Waves
3. Peter Gabriel III
4. Yes- Drama
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Always liked Free Will. And yet, without even going over the list, A!

Camel's Nude came out in 1981 I believe so I'm going to go with Gabriel's Melt.

I find this list not too much suiting my tastes, apart from Rush.
 
I prefer this list which is partial as well:
