I noticed some time ago that 1973 was a gigantic year for Progressive Rock. I even made a list on Rate Your Music (HERE) out of curiosity to see how many albums I would find and I ended up with 309 albums…
So, before the year is over I would like to make a ‘toast` to 1973 as a celebration for its 40 years. The list below was based on ratings that anyone can give to albums on Rate Your Music, Progarchives and also from our own staff.
