what are your favorite 5 prog album of the decade 2000-2009? mine are these (in no specific order):




by the way: I am surprised B for Bang are still not in the archives. they made 2 very interesting albums; besides the one I mentioned from 2008 also this one from 2010:


one of their key (sic!) members is Katia Labeque, famous classical pianist and former wife of John McLaughlin. their first album is one of the most experimental albums EVER! the second is a bit more tame but still quite experimental.

for those who don't know their albums and are curious here one of the most experimental tracks from the first album:



if this was too experimental for you here a less experimental (but still experimental) track from the album:


and here a track from their second album:



since this is still definitely an experimental track (a completely rewired version of "Dear Prudence" by the Beatles) but it is from the less experimental album you can guess just how experimental the first one is

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

This decade is one from which I have far more non-prog in my top albums. Anyway:
1 Art Zoyd - Metropolis
2 Jannik Top - Infernal Machina (France takes first and second spot!)
3 Jaga Jazzist - What We Must
4 Radiohead - Kid A
5 Holger Czukay - Linear City
shared with
5a Porcupine Tree - Deadwing (put Holger over this one because its less known)
Looking at what is already nominated, To Watch the Storms is almost up there.

Well I don't know a ton of modern prog, but there's nothing out there which could shove The Resistance or Origin Of Symmetry out of my top 5.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Let's see,
Terria, from Devin Townsend,
Out There, from Rick Wakeman,
Train of Thought, from Dream Theater,
Anno Domini High Definition, from Riverside,
The Whirlwind, from Transatlantic.

And not so prog, I might add, Mother Earth from Within Temptation, Secret of the Runes from Therion, and I guess Cult and Reflections from Apocalyptica. Perhaps also Ilumination from Tristania.
