We look at 1967, 1977 and 1987 this time. One vote. Some real classics in 1967, and for me some personal ones from 1977 when I was 16. I had the Rush and Supertramp records on vinyl, and my girlfriend's mom had Animals on vinyl and played it a lot at her house. So a lot of history with those three and I'm going with Rush.

Rush, Floyd, Ponty, and Pat Metheny Group are all excellent. I'll choose the one that won't get many votes. Pat Metheny Group.

Rush takes first.

Supertramp, Hendrix, Metheny and Ponty would round out top 5.

I am also a fan of the choice of albums for the Beatles and Floyd.

Locanda Delle Fate, might be the best album from RPI outside of the usual PFM,Banco/Le Orme axis. It has a more piano/symphonic approach and less heavier but I can highly recommend it to anyone on this site no matter what their taste.

The Piper, I love Syd
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Animals is currently PA no. 9 of all time, so I won't vote for it (also for me one of the earliest prog experiences and favourites), which frees my vote for David Sylvian. I also mention the Supertramp and Swans album... very curious what other weird people like both of these.

While not an all-time favorite, I do consider Supertramp's Even in the Quietest Moments to be one of the best production efforts of that era. The sound is perfect.

Lots I really like in this poll.

Me for one. I have loved all you listed. The Piper, Doors and Hendrix are also favourites of mine, and I like the Zappa and Beatles.

As Swans has been so significant to me in recent years, it has no vote, and Children of God is one of my favourite Swans albums, I will give it a vote.

EDIT: By the way, Prog or not, these are the top five I have listed for each of those years:

1967: The Velvet Underground and Nico's self-titled, Love's Forever Changes, Leonard Cohen's Songs of Leonard Cohen, PF's Piper... & Mort Garson's The Zodiac...
1977: Franco Leprino's Integrati...Disintegrati, Klaus Schulze's Mirage, Anna Själv Tredje's Tussilago Fanfara, Floyd's Animals & Univers Zero (1313)
1987: Swans' Children of God, Dead Can Dance's Within the Realm of a Dying Sun, Art Zoyd's Berlin, David Sylvian's Secrets & Thinking Plague's Moonsongs.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.
