PA Albums of 2023: Official Results

You have voted, and here's the results: the top PA releases of 2023. If you haven't voted yet, worry not: You can still submit your list, and I will post the updated results about a month from now, highlighting the changes. 2023 was an amazing year for progressive music, and many are still working their way through a backlog of releases to listen to. So keep at it, but these are (and forever will be) the official (first) results.
