This is a strange idea. let's just think of 1971 and see how dificult it is :

king crimson - lizard . a briliant album, one of their best.

genesys - nursery cryme . less powerful than foxtrot, selling ... or the lamb but still excelent.

jethro tull - aqualung. a masterpiece.

VDGG - pawn hearts. a masterpiece.

led zeppelin - IV. great album.

pink floyd - I'm not sure if it's atom heart mother or meddles. anyway a good candidate.

ELP - tarkus . one of my favorites.

I think moody blues did question of balance in 1971 too and it's another great album.

So this is only one year (and you asked for 10). atleast do it one at a time !

if you force me to choose I'll take lizard but this is a close match.

Cant decide on one for each year, so as far as prog/rock goes, and in no particular order...

Led Zep - II + III + IV + Houses of the Holy + Physical Graffiti + Prescence
Black Sabbath - Sabotage + Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Hawkwind - Warrior on the edge of Time + Hall of the Mountain Grill + Astounding Sounds
King Crimson - Red
Genesis - Everything from Tresspass to Duke
Rush - Everything from Fly By Night to Permenant Waves
Camel - Mirage + Moonmadness
The Enid - In the Region of the Summer Stars
Pink Floyd - Wish you were + Animals + The Wall
Rennaisance - Ashes are Burning
ELP - Tarkus

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Omri: Lizard is from 1970 (I think...), Floyd's 1971 album is Meddle, and Moodies' is Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. (AHM and Question Of Balance: 1970)

68: In Search of a Lost Chord - Moody Blues

69: In the Court of The Crimson King; To Our Children's... - MB

70: H To He... - VDGG (followed by Yes Album & Trespass)

71: Pawn Hearts - VDGG (followed by Nursery Cryme, BarclayJH's Once Again, MB's EGBDF)

72: CTTE - Yes; Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull

73: Selling England by the Pound; Silent Corner... - P. Hammill

74: hmmm... ok, The Lamb (followed by Mirage)

75: Minstrel in the Gallery -JT; Wish You Were Here - PF

76: Tales of... - AP Project; Moonmadness - Camel

77: Novella - Renaissance; Going For the One - Yes

78: Cyclone - T Dream; Raindances - Camel

79: Stormwatch - Jethro Tull; Force Majeure - Tangerine Dream

80: III - Peter Gabriel; Drama - Yes; Never For Ever - Kate Bush)

81: Nude - Camel (not a good year, obviously)

82: The Dreaming - Kate Bush; Love Over Gold - Dire Straits (I'm serious!)

These lists are difficult to make in a short time! (Easier to think of one year at a time.)

to matty : you are right about pink floyd (I said I'm not sure) and about moody blues (every good boy deserves favour is also a good album) but I am sure that lizard is from 1971 (on 1970 they did in the wake and in 1972 they made islands).
