3-Anglagard-Viljans Oga
4-Can-The Lost Tapes

How about Top 3 (and only counting the albums that we actually bought):
  • Viljans Öga 
  • Get All You Deserve (Wilson redeemed himself)
  • Beneath the Waves (stretching it a little, 'cause it's not really "prog prog")
Perhaps - perhaps, the most noticeable debut.
Clockwork Angels - the most dignified swan song? 

Top 3 in the Meh, Bleh and Blah subcategory:
  • Storm Corrosion
  • Les Voyages de l'Ame
  • Rewotower
Some notable additions in the 2012 Non-"Prog" category:

Vivaldi Recomposed

02 - Hawkwind - Onward
03 - Storm Corrosion- Storm Corrosion
04 - Echolyn - Echolyn
05 - Flower Kings - Banks Of Eden
06 - Astra - The Black Chord
07 - Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited II
09 - Can - The Lost Tapes (not heard this enough yet but its better than Rush)
08 - Rush - Clockwork Angels
