   Hard not to go for 1972. 73 has my favourite album BSS but generally I prefer 74 and 75 of which the latter gives 1972 a good run for its money imo.

	Have to go with 1972: CttE / Foxtrot / ObC / Trilogy / Thick as a Brick, particularly considering the Living In the Past album was also released in 1972.

	Well seeing as two of the finest albums of all time were released in 1972, i.e. CTTE & TAAB - it's a no-brainer for me.
