Heavy Horses probably, but a weakish year compared to most of that decade. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

Have to go UK just over Rush, Jose Cid and Klaus Schulze. That 1st UK album was a great example of what would happen if you threw 2 prog rockers with 2 prog jazzers and let them fight it out  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

I'll have to give JT the vote... but DAMN Hemispheres is a GREAT album. Great works from SBB and José Cid as well. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |

Hemispheres followed by Anabelas. UK, Weidorje and National Health come next. One regret: Indexi's Modra Rijeka should have topped the cake. -------------

never thought a 1978 albums poll could be so hard to choose Rush, UK, Jethro Tull, Jose Cid and Dixie Dregs - just can't pick one  |

Things really started to fall apart that year...and Rush started to exploit the vacuum left by the major bands along with the rise of NWOBHM. One of the last great Canterbury albums was released and later that year Dave Stewart gave up as another National Health tour fell through... |

X and Anabelas are the best albums listed here imo. Could never get into Hemispheres and Heavy Ponies. In the end I voted for the underdog. X is one of the seminal progressive electronic albums - one that stretches far beyond the genre itself and has since it's release garnered fans from all over the musical map. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.
