The Flower Kings - Paradox Hotel
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
The Devin Townsend Band - Synchestra
Vanden Plas - Christ 0
The Flaming Lips - At War with the Mystics
Mogwai - Mr. Beast

A bad year for prog???Exclamation No way man!

My favorites so far are Tool's and The Flaming Lips' offerings.  On a side note, I recommend everyone find some way to watch the Red Hot Chili Pepper's (not prog, i know, but still awesome) new music vide, 'Dani California.' One of the best (and funniest) vids i've ever seen. I know they have it over at Vh1.com.
It's a funny video indeed. The RHCP cover all major movements in rock music (in the video, that is, not in the song), except for prog. Wink

^Yeah, no prog, what gives!?? I can only imagine what the farce would have looked like...I suspect a bunch of really old, washed-up hippies sitting around and playing insanely difficult guitar parts and singing about birds or something LOL

...although the parody on the 70's metal scene (with the UFo landing and Flea's hilarious silver get-up) comes close to the pretentious, bombastic porg shows gone by.

Oh, my mistake, yes, that's a reissue of the Riverside EP, I checked earlier.  But still, many people probably don't have this EP, so it's nice to see a reissue.

A prog parody would look something like Rick Wakeman probably: long blonde hair, a shiny cape and eight different keyboards. LOL

Mickey, I've been told that The Raconteurs album is very good.  It's Jack White's new band I gather?

I'm amazed that a Danish band is at number one for 2006 on this site. And here in Denmark I hadn't heard a word of news about the release - tells me how little hype there is aroung prog these days

5/5 from 9 people - never seen that before - now I'm just looking forward to actually hearing the thing...!

The album is:

Beyond Twilight: For The Love Of Art And The Making (2006)

A good band,but they have to stop the revolving door of lead vocalists.

But talking of Riverside... are they in the studio?

I know Taal are, so I'm waiting with baited breath for a new Taal album soon!  The same applies for White Willow.

LOL

The EP was released on Napster and I thought - Why not listen to it and review it? There's so much hype around that band ... they've even been interviewed in the Eclipsed magazine. But it really IS hype - there are much better alternative bands. Still quite decent though.

Actually, some Arctic Monkeys tracks have quite interesting structures, even if the bits themselves are nothing to write home about.

Urgh, the "You Look Good On The Dancefloor" single is terrible.  The cover to the album is terrible also.

Cool They're from Sheffield though
 
 and the best from this year for me are:
 
 TFK - Paradox Hotel
 Tangent - A Place In The Que
 D Gilmour - On an Island
 
 10000 days just doesn't do it for me

I was extremely underwhelmed by the Gilmour album ... I just don't get it.
