A dire year for prog and sums up how I drifted towards electronica as the most inspiring form of music in that era.

Hold Your Fire gets the vote but it's only one of a handful of any merit if I'm being honest.

Same thoughts here. Nothing very relevant. Probably no vote.

Well it's between Marillion, Dead Can Dance and Art Zoyd. I am however having a really hard time choosing between the latter two. Hmmm I'll give the nod to Berlin today. Fantastic album that sounds as good today as it did back then. Well the same goes for DCD really - Clutching has a distinct 80s sheen to it. It's not that I don't like it though - I happen to love it. All I'm saying is that the two other albums don't fit in with the period - at least sound-wise. They could just as well have been produced last week.

I like the album, but vote here for CaS.
I had to do a double take that you were voting for Calling All Stations.  LOL 

I totally did the same thing LOL

Imho this is THE best album from 1987:
 
 
I was very surprised when I noticed that the CLOUD ABOUT MERCURY is not on the list of 1987 PA ranked albums, as the masterpiece of progressive & space fusion as well.
So I voted for IQ's, because of this very song - piano / vocal version actually, what is simply amazing..

Clutching at Straws by a long shot, and then Scream Bloody Gore, Hold Your Fire, and A Momentary Lapse of Reason

I bought a copy of Big Generator for collector's purposes, but still haven't bothered to listen to it.

Yes' Big Generator and Rush's Hold Your Fire is more 'meh' to me, even though i haven't listened to both albums in their entirety yet. However, they are both my favorites from this weird, too poppy year, at #3 and #2, respectively. The #1 album from this year and the one that gets my vote, though, goes to Pink Floyd's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" because that is the only album that's proggy in ways by one of the bands who invented this genre to begin with, so yeah.
