Gilmour- 1975-77, these are the years where Gilmour could really jam in his own unique and orriginal way during a concert and used his skills to improve thier two best albums, Wish you were here and Animals. His guitaring was deffinetly best during this time.

Disagree with Steve Howe & 1971 - for christs' sake they released Fragile and CttE 1972, two of the most successful and innovative prog rock albums!! Edited by Logos |

For me: Rick Wakeman in 1977, in the Mountain Studios. He did Going For The One, White Rock and Criminal Record in that year, in those studios. |

yes, but on those albums he shares much of the spotlight with Rick Wakeman. |

i think it would be hard to define Rush's peak year, with all their ups and downs and sound changes. i'd guess it would be about '76 or'77(between "2112" and "A Farewell to Kings") or possibly whenever "Moving Pictures" was released. |

Well I think all of the original great prog bands (the ones we all know and love) were in their prime until 1977, when they released their last truly great album. Think about it. Yes had Going For The One (Followed by Tormato, with a different line-up - crap album.) Then Genesis had Wind & Wuthering (Last album with Steve Hackett. In 1980 they turned to pop.). Pink Floyd had Animals (Followed by the terrifyingly successful The Wall)... ELP released their final ideas on Works 1 and 2. It all makes sense. Something must have deliberately killed great prog in 1977. Was it Star Wars? |

Rush is a toughie, because each member has his own year. Neil Peart 2002 when Vapor Trails was released, Neil Peart overcame quite a bit. Geddy Lee 1980 with all of his best tracks on Moving Pictures that one seems obvious. Alex Lifeson either 1977 or 1978, Hemispheres and A Farewell To Kings showcase albums. |
