Most of you have heard some of these albums; some of you have heard most of these albums. This is multiple choice.
This poll is more for discussing these albums than which ones are the most popular.

The Mountain, Belighted, To Be Kind, Dances of The Drastic Navels, Walking On A Flashlight Beam, History of the Visitation, Behind The Sun, City of The Sun, Perfect_Beings, and Multipurpose Trap are all excellent, and I've also shown some love for the new Godspeed.
I've always wondered what happened to the support behind Haken past the initial love for The Mountain. Their albums haven't stopped being excellent heavy prog with occasional forays into unique vocal styles.
And once again I'll say that City of The Sun is one of the best of last year's albums.

I only have Perfect Beings and To Be Kind. I like PB much much much more.  Two new 2015 albums I just discovered yesterday are in the running for my favorites of the year - Feat. Esserela- Tuorl Ciccada - The Finest Of Miracles

To Be Kind and Asunder, Sweet are absolutely perfect.

I voted for the ones in my top 10's of 2013 and 2014 and included Magenta and Comedy of Errors. These two fell just outside the 2013 list ending at #11 and #12. Out of the 2015 crop I choose Unreal City (the best 2015 album from this list that I have litened to so far).

I have heard quite a few from this list, but I only voted for five: Guapo, iamthemorning, Seven Impale, PoiL, and Birds and Buildings. Guapo's History of the Visitation was one of my top 5 albums for 2013, so it was an easy choice. On the other hand, the Daal album did not impress me as much as the ones before it, Fromuz's Sodom and Gomorrah was somewhat uneven, and - as hard as I've tried - I cannot really get into Unreal City, Beardfish or Gazpacho.

I currently own 3 of these albums - and they are all bang-on perfect for me. Haken - The Mountain Comedy Of Errors - Fanfare And Fantasy ......and my absolute favourite - Magenta - The Twenty-Seven Club all three being top of their game.

There's several albums on this list I still need to get to but of those I know, Hubardo and Brassaklit are major stand outs.

I listened to 11 albums from that list and from those I prefer the albums from Haken, Unreal City, Daal, Motorpshycho and Birds And Buildings. Well, not 11... I couldn't listen to the Swans album until the end

The Mountain, but Belighted is excellent too.
