2008 over 2007?
Overall though this is accurate

1997

Lots of good ones in this thread- the most common ones I see are 1967, 1977, 1991, and 2001.

1973 is the golden year of prog though:
>Pink Floyd - DSOTM
>Can - Future Days
>Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
>King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic
>Faust - Faust IV
>Yes - Yessongs
>Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire
>Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

1983-1993
at least metal-wise, that's when most of the influential albums were released
