Akron162 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Actually i like more 1972. Thats when most bands release their best stuff (at least in prog circles). You know: TarkusClose to the EdgeFoxtrotThick as a Brick And i think theres more, but i dont remember right now. And if i have to admit it, the only pop album that i trully enjoy (and i do this whit some grade of shame) come out in 1972: Something/Anything? from Todd Rundgren.

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Nothing shameful about enjoying Something/Anything?, or anything Todd Rundgren did for that matter. And thumbs up to whoever mentioned Tom Waits' Closing Time and Innervisions by Stevie Wonder.
