Released on 28 April 1972, Argus is widely considered the magnum opus of Wishbone Ash. It is a landmark album that defined the "twin-lead guitar" sound, later influencing bands like Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, and Judas Priest. Named "Album of the Year" in 1972 by Sounds and Melody Maker. Peaked at #3 in the UK, marking the band’s commercial high point. A unique hybrid of progressive rock, English folk, and hard rock, often noted for its lack of keyboards (rare for prog of that era).
