If someone asked you "Show me what prog rock is?!", which of these two years has more albums that you'd cue up?

This is literally the reason I made this thread, to see how long this argument would take to appear!

You're correct. That's why I figured this one isn't as straight forward as some may think! Wink Clap

Yes, but some would argue that without 1967 there would have been no 1969. That's why I threw in the clown face. It's like trying to trace the origins of man.

1969 has probably 5 great prog albums as well as plenty of great non prog music but 1972 wipes the floor with it.

1972 for sure. Probably one of the best years for music in general!

I believe 1972 was the best year ever for Prog-Rock, and the best year for music in general, and my second choice for the best year for music is the psychedelic Summer of Love year of 1967, naturally. Smile

1969. If the other choice had been 1971, I would have then chosen that.

But you asked which year has more albums that you would cue up, not which year was more important. 1969 was obviously more important because of KC, but 72 has so many more releases that are every bit of definitive.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
