If I could make a three way tie it would be Tull, Genesis, and Yes. I voted Genesis, one of the few times I would not vote for either of the other two but that is just because I recently acquired a CD of W&W, so it is more fresh for me right now.

I hope I'm not the only one who routinely mistakes "GFTO" for "GTFO."

So how exactly does "Wind and Wuthering" qualify as a '77 release?

What a year, who said prog was dead? Wanted to vote Aja but decided Wind & Wuthering needed a nudge

Thanks, about 95% of the prog concerts I attended were between '76 and '78. Somehow I never got the chance to see Floyd, Camel, Zappa or Rush but saw just about every other big prog band that came through SF/Oakland

Indeed. I'm sure many people got it as a gift for Christmas 1976.

I'm a bit sad that I'm the first to vote for Ashra's `New Age of Earth', an album I play several times a week and still find it clicks with me like a blanket does with Linus!  (would anyone still even get that reference??)

Tough, but went with Songs From The Wood.
Animals, Aja, Wind & Wuthering, The Geese and the Ghost and Farewell to Kings are also very good.

great year---think of WandW as a 76 release--but voted GFTO---as Awaken is one of their masterpieces.
