I haven't had time to rate them all. I just pulled them in using the "Polls" function and the sorted by my current gut. I probably need to go back and listen before the 30th to some of the earlier ones. 

I have two albums, by REZN and Sons of Arrakis, on my overall year end list but AP wasn't pulling them up. I guess not on PA?

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Not here a lot but here's my list so far:
I think I have my 20 now, but may do some shuffling as I go back to some earlier in the year.

I also may have a little of zeal of a convert after just getting into my #1 album.

Yep like this and just added 4 albums to listen to by Plantoid, Mangrove, God Is An Astronaut and Azure. At least 1 of those is likely to be in my top 20. Azure - Fym is perhaps the one that I need to pay special attention to but all are excellent.

^ The recommendations are currently based on tags, ratings, year and type of the releases. I'm not displaying it on the polls page (for a lack of space), but when you click on any release cover art, in the side panel there's a tab named "similar releases", and there I list the matching tags.

I have noticed and it's been easier to use. I appreciate the recommendations but haven't used. There's just so much put there.

What are the factors considereda to ranking the recommended albums?

RIO/Avant has done quite well, and I have seen complaints about avant-prog type music doing as well with collabs as it has for being out of touch with the masses.   Who presumably have more pedestrian tastes. ;)

Kayo Dot (in Avant Prog) won in the first year that I took part on the Collab Alum of the Year event (2006) with Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue. Mind you, kayo Dot was included in the Progressive Metal category when it won. As said, Univers Zero won in 2010, black midi in 2022, and black midi was the runner-up in 2021 with Cvaalcade. Far Corner was the runner-up in 2018 with Risk.

Man maybe I need to listen to these again, neither did much for me (SGM shocked me more than BBT in this regard considering how many years I was anticipating this release)

SGM is now leading by a single point from BBT. Could be the first RIO/Avant album to top the poll for a while (or ever??!)

FYI: I've just implemented a few major improvements on the polls page. The main improvement is the recommendations list which now more accurately shows similar releases based on the ones you select for your list. But I also improved the overall layout as well as the "Browse" box which now lists releases based on your rating and familiarity level (for registered users).

Let me know what you think about it! Even those of you who do not want to submit a list might find it interesting - just add a few of your favorite releases and check out the recommendations!

As always, you find the 2024 poll here: https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote

^ Or indeed between Symphonic Prog and Avant Prog, for those who dare to go beyond the PA genre system. Smile Speaking of which, I think for the runner-up release at #3 (Geordie Greep), "Eclectic Prog" is quite fitting. I've just checked RYM and they are currently listing 6+ genres/subgenres in an attempt to describe the music.

^ Nice list!

FYI: There's a new experimental feature: On the voting page I've added a sidebar with similar releases. So as you add your favorite releases to your list, you'll see related releases as an inspiration. Might be releases you already know, or releases you might want to check out. The url has not changed: Just go to https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote if you want to give it a try!
