1977 and things are looking up! The big dogs are back flexing their prog muscles with new albums from Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant and ELP (though in ELP's case neither Works Vol 1 or Vol 2 got anywhere near cracking the top 25, coming in dead last at spots #41 and #42). Also of note, a certain mighty 3 piece from Toronto has officially arrived and followed last years #6 album with "A Farewell to Kings" at the #2 spot. If you don't like Rush, be scared...be very scared. They're here to stay! Once again, these are the top 25 PA ranked albums with at least 100 ratings presented in order of their QWR scores highest to lowest. Vote for your favourite 1977 prog album!

I haven't picked a Yes album yet for on eof these so I could go with Going for the One or possibly Aja, Animals, Ocean, Geese and the Ghost, even Point of Know Return. I actually haven't heard of National Health, so thats something new to check out!  |

Extremely tough one for me; but I'll go with Animals, probably my favourite Floyd album. Very close are Genesis, Yes, Kansas, Supertramp, Tull and Rush. This is one of the tightest contests for me as I could've voted for many here! ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

Very tough choice this year as I rank the albums from Yes, Genesis, Floyd, Rush, & Grobschnitt very strong 4 star equals each with great songs. The only way to choose a fave is to eliminate those with the weakest moments: Do not like Wondrous Stories...Yes is out. Cannot stand Your Own Special Way...Genesis is out. The middle section of Dogs is tedious...no Floyd. Side 2 of Kings is weak until Cygnus X-1...no Rush. Rockpommel? Can't find anything bad to say about it, especially the bonus track CD release so it gets my vote ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Cool, '77 was a great year for live concerts for me too...I was only 17 but had an older friend into prog...even more important, he had wheels and gas money FEB: Genesis: Wind and Wuthering tour - Winterland Ballroom SF APR: Renaissance (with comedian Steve Martin headlining): Paramount Theater Oakland MAY: Jethro Tull: Songs from the Wood tour - Oakland Arena JUL: Led Zeppelin (with Judas Priest & Rick Derringer) - Oakland Coliseum (this was the infamous show the day after Richard Cole had beaten up Bill Grahams son - the final US show before Bonzo died) AUG: ELP (with Journey): Works tour (no orchestra) - Oakland Arena SEP: Yes (with Donovan): Going for the One tour - Oakland Arena (I was there both nights) The only show I wanted to see but couldn't get tickets for was the Pink Floyd Animals tour in May. They sold out 2 nights at the huge outdoor Oakland Coliseum in like 15 minutes

A fine year 1977 was really. I'm another one who has trouble to pick one album from the whole bunch. In the end I chose Tull's Songs. But Yes with GFTO or Genesis W & W or Rush's A Farewell To King are really very close behind... Hmmm, thinking about Awaken from GFTO I'm rather bewildered - I love this song a lot.... But staying by Tull this time. -------------

I've always considered W&W a '77 release and wasn't sure this was a serious question so I had a look on wiki...it lists the release year as '76. Then I had a look at our PA database...it lists '77 but has the following note: Released, depending on a country, in December 1976 / January 1977 Is there some kind of standard interpretation PA follows in cases like this?

Aja, then Kansas, JT and Genesis. The earlier comments about whether W&W was a 76 or 77 release brings up a good point. Albums were not routinely released internationally back then so some of these records have multiple release dates. Also, the world moved a lot more slowly and albums took a lot more time to achieve distribution and airplay then they do now. So 'Leftoverture' was partially recorded in 1975 and released in 1976, but didn't peak on the charts until 1977 and became one of the top 20 selling albums of that year. 'Animals' was also a bigger seller in 1977 than it was in 1976, as were 'Songs from the Wood' and 'Even in the Quietest Moments'. I only mention this because as someone for whom 1977 was a peak music year, it's hard to recognize W&W and Leftoverture as 1976 albums even though they were technically released then. For that matter Dreamboat Annie was recorded in 1975 and released in early 1976, but it still seems like a 1977 album to me because that's when it was all over the radio and late-night music shows.

For me '77 was the best year ever for prog. 2 of my 3 favourite albums are Animals and GFTO, both from '77. Add in the albums by Ashra, Genesis (Seconds Out is missing from the list), Eloy's best, three (!) of Schulze's best, TD's Encore (missing) and the amazing and almost unknown Black Noise by FM to name but a few and you have a hell of a year. As for the vote, it's got to be Animals. |

Hmmmmm...I've always considered W&W to be a 1976 album, probably because that's when it was originally released. Lots of good ones here. The Geese and the Ghost; Feels Good to Me; Going for the One; Songs from the Wood; National Health; Morrocan Roll. Dang. 1977 was a pretty good year for prog, considering both punk and disco were in full swing. And new wave was really getting started. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Pink Floyd Animals.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

| I give my vote Mr. Hammill. Over is one hell of an album. So dark it's almost hard to listen to. |

Just coudn't let Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piu - Locanda della Fate without having a honorable vote here, this masterpiece is my favourite easily above the ones here from Genesis and Yes. But I forgot I had already voted for Eloy - Ocean, I think this poll should allow us more than only one single vote, given the good albums in the list. -------------  "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."
