If this has been done before, SORRY. I omitted 1973 because it would have probably won and made things boring .
Please explain your votes, especially if it regards a year not specified here!!!!!

check out the poll http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65115 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65115 if you omit 1973 means 1972 is gonna win. In my poll it was a tie 72 and 73 i voted for 1972 mainly because of the below list ELP - Trilogy, Pictures at an Exhibition Yes - Close to the Edge Uriah Heep - Deamons and Wizards Gnidrolog- Lady Lake Jethro Tull - Thick As a Brick Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds Premiata Forneria Marconi - Storia Di Un Minuto, Per Un Amico Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - Debut, Darwin Il Baletto Di Bronzo - Ys Gentle Giant - Octopus, Three Friends Genesis - Foxtrot Deep Purple - Machine Head, Made in Japan ------------- Really don't mind if you sit this one out. My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout. |

Gotta be 1970 for me, for all the little, impeccable gems released during that time. Affinity, The Greatest Show On Earth, Aardvark, Curved Air, Bead Game, Cressida, Titus Groan, Aunt Mary, Birth Control, Caravan, Spirit...the list goes on and on and on.

1969 KING CRIMSON!!!!!!!!!! In The Court Of The Crimson King!!! eclectic and symphonic prog rock owe a lot to this very important album... by the way this is just my opinion. if not 1969 then 1972 takes it no doubt about that. ------------- Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk. |

This is very biased and inadmissible poll! I protest against omitting of the year 1973 founded on any your presumption only! ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

1972
Close To The Edge
Foxtrot
Trilogy
Thick As A Brick
why is 1973 so highly (over) rated anyway?

I have analyzed my list of favourite '70-'75 albums some time ago and I expected 1972 to be the winner because it was the year of Close to the Edge and Foxtrot, but this year ended up in a tie with 1971 and 1973. My favourite year appeared to be 1975, the year of Wish You Were Here, The Snow Goose, Fish out of Water, 5čme Saison and Free Hand, to mention a few. -------------

1969 the best year

1970 - I know CotCK started it, but ELP's debut literally changed my musical life forever. That Yes' "Time and a Word", Gentle Giant, Magma, Supertramp debuts, and Let it Be were released that year only puts it way over the top for me. ------------- --EnderEd |

Can't really vote - there have been gems and classics in each and every single year, so it is very difficult to choose one particular year.

| I had some problem choosing between '96 and '71, but 71 won in the end so many great albums that year, some examples are: Meddle, Fragile, Nursery Cryme, Inner Mountain Flame and Pawn Hearts |

I think the best year is 1 9 7 4 because GENESIS, YES,KING CRIMSON, PETER HAMMILL ... made their Best works at that time . But tommorow I'll prefer maybe another "combination" :
- "Pawn Hearts"+"Tarkus"+"Nursery Cryme"+"Islands" or:
- "Thick as abrick"+"FOXTROT"+"CLOSE TO THE EDGE" or:
- "SEBTP"+"Brain Salad Surgery"+"PASSION PLAY"

| Wow the poll forms almost a perfect normal-graph. But I should have omitted 1972 as well. |

1972 of course. But 1974 would have fitted, with Relayer and that excellent Camel issue (a.o.). -------------  One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D |
