MikeEnRegalia wrote: I'm curious - to everyone who submitted a really long list (e.g. more than 40 entries), like I also did previously: How often have you listened to the releases? Obviously it's hard to say unless you have a tool to keep track of it, but for me, when I had like 50 releases in the list there were many which I had only heard once. This year I'm filtering the list for releases that I still find truly outstanding after repeated listens throughout the year. I'm NOT saying that this is better or worse than any other strategy - what's your opinion?

FYI: During the last 24 hours some users have updated their list through AP ... nice job! It is not visible in this thread, so don't assume that things aren't happening just because there are no posts here 

Gilmour's album won prog magazine album of the year yet has been largely shunned by PA listeners it seems. A view I hear echoed generally is that 2024 was a year that ran deep for good releases but the quality at the top was below that of the previous year. I tend to agree.

I have listened to less albums than I hoped for, but these make it to my AotY list:

1. Alejandro Matos - Carnaval de las Victimas
2. Arnaud Bukwald - Moondragore
3. The Tangent - To Follow Polaris
4. Big Big Train - The Likes of Us
5. David Gilmour - Luck and Strange
6. Nine Stones Close - Diurnal
7. Greco Bastián - W.A.L.H.F. MORE F. (With a Little Hell from MORE Friends)
8. Nine Stones Close - Adventures in Anhedonia

^ Not in my top 20 currently, even though I enjoyed listening to it. 2024 actually was a good year for prog, it's just that 2023 was huge in terms of quantity of relevant releases.

Small upgrade for registered AP users: You can now assign a prog status to your releases directly from the voting list. You'll first need to pick a familiarity level (by clicking on the headphones icon) to indicate how well you know the release, then a dropdown will appear which you can use to say whether you think the release is non-prog, prog-adjacent or prog.

BTW: If any of you are looking for inspirations on which releases of 2024 to listen to, have a look at the results pages! The PA results can be filtered by PA genre, the overall results can be filtered by AP genre tags.

^ No objections from me. Thanks for doing this again, Mike. I'm hoping to get more yearly lists done at AP.

By the way, I had wanted to see the combined PA, AP and "other" (NP) chart (PA Chart, AP Prog Chart, AP "Other" Chart, PA + AP Chart, i.e. PA + AP + NP, basically this: https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/results-pa-ap-np but can't see such a function of all results for the users who made those AOTY lists.
