I'd say Steve Howe peaked in 1974 on Relayer.  He's said that it's his favorite album, as did White.

Wakeman '72

Anderson - too tough to call, he was pretty much perfect for 7 years straight.

Squire - I'd say '77, but that's just because, with the GftO studio sessions video, you can actually see how much he's bringing to the table when you can hear his vocals singled out instead of masked by Anderson.

I'll agree with video vertigo on the Rush members, except Moving Pictures was 1981.

Dream Theater - 1999

At last I had the chance of being original:

Vangelis

1971-1973 (preparation date): 666

and

1975: Heaven and Hell

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

good call, but i find white rock a bit less good.

and was it a peak or just that he modernized his keyboards? i have in mind 6 wives of henry 8.

I agree with you to a certain extent about White Rock, and I guess that's because of the compositions. Still, 1977 is my favourite Wakeman year, because I really love his contributions to Going For The One and Criminal Record... and also to White Rock, because of an element which I can't really describe well. Maybe it has to do with the modernisation of his keyboards. That could be so. It's hard for me to found it. Still, there's something else in his keyboard playing in that year. Something glorious? Like being on the top of the world? Well, I've reached the limits of explanation  . Can't get it from sujective to inter-subjective, let alone objective. I rest my case  , if I use this expression correctly .

 I disagree, IMO Rick Wakeman  best years are 72 - 75 (Six Wives, Journey, Myths and Legends- Fragile, Close to the Edge, Yessongs)

Iván

 

I can understand that very well. I like Rick's contributions to those albums too. It's just, for some reason, 1977 is my favourite Wakeman year. Hard to defend, and very subjective...

Rush´s peak would be from 2112 to moving pictures. All the releases were true masterpieces.

Then I would count Counterparts too

1972 was a great year for prog-rock. Let's see:

  • Foxtrot
  • Close to the Edge
  • Obscured by Clouds
  • Trilogy
  • Focus 3
  • Thick as a Brick

Only "Obscured by Clouds" could not be considered as an artistic peak, but otherwise is a great album.
