1977
And we're basically out of the prog weeds, with the exception of the amazing Animals and some very, very good European prog albums by Blue Effect and Ripaille. When I created this list early April, I listened to a ton of punk albums I'd never heard before. But, because they haven't sat with me long enough, not one of those was able to break into the top 10. A few were close, but ultimately I didn't feel that I got to know them intimately enough during that short time to push something else out. And that's perfectly fine, with all the great stuff I was already familiar with, represented below.
