Oh wow - I think Natural Science is the best track off of Permanent Waves, but last thing i want to do is divvy up the votes for Rush. Oh well!

They are very inspirative for me, because I can search it or listen by "new ears". In this moment  Peter Gabriel's  Intruder and Jon Anderson's Song of Seven for example. Thanks to all.

Rush - Permanent Waves - Natural Science!
Genesis - Duke - Duke's Travels/Duke's End
Steve Hackett - Defector - The Steppes

In that case I will say
Art Bears - The World as it is Today - Song of Investment Capital Overseas
Slapp Happy - Acnalbasac Noom - Me and Paravati
and I will add a 2nd nomination for
Art Zoyd - Generation Sans Futur - La Ville

Woolly Wolstenholme - Maestoso - Patriots
Angelo Branduardi - Gulliver, La Luna e altri disegni - Confessioni di un Malandrino*
Steely Dan - Gaucho - Babylon Sisters

*This song, as most of the album, is from 1975, actually,
because that Album was a re-release of 1975's "La Luna" plus one new track.
If this means it can't be included here I'd go for the "new" one "Gulliver".

Why are people only mentioning two? It says three.
