Thanks for the comments. Looks like 79 was a better musical year for most. I'll take 2019, by far. For 1979 I would choose... Bill Bruford One of a Kind UK Danger Money Joe Jackson Look Sharp Elvis Costello and the Attractions Armed Forces Frank Zappa Joe's Garage Act's I, II and III

absolutely, most members know by heart the classics, and don't feel the urge to revisit them. For ex, I'm not sure whether I pulled one out from the big 7 or 9, except that Crimson still being active, I surely heard some classic stuff in the recent live renditions. ================= 1979 (no particular order) Aqsak Maboul - Un Peu de l'Âme des Bandits
Breche - Carapace et chair tendre Errobi - Ametsaren Bidea Faithfull, Marianne - Broken English Flamen Dialis - Symptome-Dei Haizea - Hontz Gaua Itoiz - Ezekiel Galt MacDermot & Jerome Ragni - Hair (OST) Marino & Mahogany Rush - Tales of the Unexpected Moondog A New Sound of an Old Instrument Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure Univers Zero - Heresie Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Live Rust Aquarelle - Live a Montreux Art Zoyd - Musique Pour l'Odyssee Asia Minor - Crossing the Line Booz, Emmanuel - Dans Quel Etat J'Erre Clash - London Calling Conventum - Le Bureau Central des Utopies Etoifilan - Etoifilan Hackett - Spectral Mornings Lisker - Lisker Maneige - Composite Carlos Santana - Oneness, Silver Dreams Golden Reality Þursaflokkur Thursabit Pat Travers Band Live! Go For What You Know Vortex - Les Cycles De Thanatos Zappa, Frank - Sleep Dirt ZZ Top - Deguello As for the current year : first draft (no order as of yet) The Comet Is Coming - Trust in the lifeforce.... Elephant9 with Reine Fiske- Psychedelic Backfire II Cykada-s/t The Wrong Object- Into the Herd Jordsjø – Nattfiolen Magma Zess Yokaï – s/t Ikarus – Mosaismic Supersister - Retsis Repus Panzerpappa - Summarisk Suite Yazz Ahmed - Polyhymnia Ghost Rhythms - Live at Yoshiwara October Equus - Presagios Isildurs Bane and Peter Hammill - In Amazonia Rustin Man - Drift Code Graham Costello's Strata - Obelisk Spacious Mind - No. 4 or 5 Gravy Band Joe Armon-Jones - Turn To Clear View Sure Fire Soul Ensemble – Build Bridges Makaya McCraven - Where We Come From (Chicago X London Mixtape) Ill Considered - Live at Total Refreshment Centre Vannier & Patton - Crystal Corpses Ezra Collective - You Can't Steal my joy.

Current ranking. Le Grand Sbam coming out next month is probably getting one of these spots, maybe the top.
1. The Pheumatic Transit - Chordae Tendinae 2. ni - Pantophobie 3. Consider The Source - You Are Literally A Metaphor 4. Helium Horse Fly - Hollowed 5. Tracteur - Tracteur 1979 was a pretty sad year for prog. Few of my favorites put out anything worthwhile. Even with the downturn this year has seen overall, it still beats 79 in my book. Only the top 2 get regular listens. 1. Bill Bruford - One of a Kind 2. Kitaro- Oasis 3. Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage 4. Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings 5. Banco - Canto di Primavera When I was a teen The Wall would have been on this list. But as the years passed, the sparkle has definitely worn off. Edited by Tapfret - November 12 2019 at 07:41 |

Does anyone in the UK know where you can pick up a reasonably priced CD of the Thieves Kitchen album? It seems to be cropping up on a lot of lists but Amazon (UK) are asking £26 (inc P&P) for it 'new'. Used I can get it for about £17 but still too expensive (might go for it if it was new)

1-Klone: Le Grand Voyage, 2-Soen: Lotus, 3-Leprous: Pitfalls, 4-The Tea Club: If/When, 5-Borknagar: True North. In 1979, i didn't know progressive music. I just discovered hard-rock/heavy-metal.  |
