Prog Rock Timeline: 2015

^ I have all of those Muse albums on CD, apart from Will of the People and I'm glad Wikipedia remembered to include the Drones album in their listings, unlike my ten favourite  prog albums from 2015 that they neglected to include, although I wouldn't have had room to fit them all in the poll anyway, and bearing in mind what you said about Muse's Simulation Theory, I'll make sure I give the album a listen first before rushing out to buy it. Anyway, sorry to Drone on. 

Anekdoten gets the vote. Then Riverside and S.Wilson.

David Gilmour and Arena from this list. 

Echolyn - I Heard You Listening

Anekdoten over Riverside
Needlepoint, Magma, Vak, Nice Beaver, Nik Turner, Circle and La Fabbrica Dell'assoluto all released some nice records.

Speaking of lives, which deserves its own series (but I think as a list your own, prog and non-prog so in General Music Discussions), I am listening to Swans' live album from 2015, The Gate right now. Michael Gira is intoning "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" repeatedly currently (trance-y). Such things can be something of an acquired taste. thanks for your answer Not at all familiar with Swan who attracted lot of Prograchivers. added on my 'want to listen to at least once before I die list '

I would not start with that live Swans at least. For modern ones I might go with the studio albums To Be Kind and/or the Glowing Man (or The Seer perhaps or...), and for classics with White Light From the Mouth of Infinity, The Great Annihilator, Soundtracks for the Blind, and/or Children of God. The easiest Swans live album for me is Omniscience. I did find the ratings and comments at RYM useful for my Swans journey. https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/swans helps to give some idea of what you are getting into. The band is quite diverse while at the same time having a certain Swansness carry through the discography, and the sound/ style is considerably different depending on the album, track and period. Swans are beautiful and ornery creatures. It can be a real trip if you can let yourself go with the music.

(neo rythmn and blues:soul) From your "not on my poll list", I like Big Big Train (which I didn't include in the poll because it's an EP); Jacco Gardner; Steve Hackett (whose brother John Hackett is in the poll); and Pond. I may like some of the other albums you mentioned too, although I'm not familiar with them, apart from Ozric Tentacles, where all of their albums sound the same to me, despite being a fan of Space Rock generally.

Thanks for your kind answer
