Progressive Rock Album List-1975

I love to see these kinds of polls. :)

I saw this right after submitting my 1975 list to AwesomeProg (been working my way down the years) https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-1975/users/Logan. It needs more work, but here is my top 20 of 60 from there right now as I see Mikes also shared his. The order is very flexible, will be adjusted more, and generally loosey-goosey.

1. Cortex - Troupean Bleu
2. Hatfield and the North - The Rotters' Club
3. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
4. Tangerine Dream - Ricochet
5. Neu! - NEU! '75
6. Harmonia - Deluxe
7. Van Der Graaf Generator - Godbluff
8. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
9. Area - Crac!
10. Klaus Schulze - Timewind
11. Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time
12. Vortex - Vortex
13. Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho - Paêbirú [AP Prog]
14. Henry Cow - In Praise Of Learning
15. Richard O'Brien - The Rocky Horror Picture Show [AP Prog-Adj]
16. Egisto Macchi - Contemporanea [AP]
17. Dzyan - Electric Silence
18. Slapp Happy - Desperate Straights (with Henry Cow)
19. Kraftwerk - Radio-Activity (Radio-Aktivität)
20. Tangerine Dream - Rubycon

From the poll, I will go with Hawkwind now even if Wish You Were Here is currently higher on my list (right before that I put Hawkwind higher, whatever, both are great) I can't really decide on an order for it, too much I love from the period. I got much more into that band recently and that is an excellent album. Libra and Odyssey are some other particular favourites. I was expecting to see Dzyan but very happy with what I voted for.

^ Actually thoiught that might be the case. PA says 1974 and I may well have the date of first release wrong. Discogs agrees with you and Prog Archives.

I went with Soft Machine-Bundles ; also, Eno- Another Green World ; Hatfield and the North; Steve Hillage -Fish Rising. 

Wish You Were Here, followed by "not on the list" Physical Graffiti and Minstrel in the Gallery. 

Rubycon would've beaten all of these by some distance. As things stand it's hard to pick between WYWH, Bundles, Cross Collateral, Acolyte. Vote for Passport so that they have a well deserved vote.

Definitely Voyage. The amazing Fish out of Water was that year as well.

Tough choices in a vintage year - see my other two polls

I went with Strange Days, with Hawkwind close behind

BrufordFreak wrote: Probably your toughest list, Doug, for me to make a choice from! I think 1975 was the year of my own, personal, true entry into Prog World, so there are a lot of emotional attachments to a lot of albums that came out during this year. HOWEVER, I decided to vote for an album that I'd only given a chance to during the past six months: PFM's Chocolate Kings.  I'd resisted listening to any of the band's English-speaking albums for two reasons: 1) I MUCH prefer when a band sings its songs in their own native language and 2) I was under the mistaken understanding that the band's "English" albums were mere remakes of their earlier stuff. NOT SO! This album, in particular, is an absolute masterpiece! One that stands very much on its own as one of the best the band ever did--and album everyone should know!

Awesome, Drew. Chocolate Kings is my all time favorite PFM album from any year, really! It is that good, to my ears.
