Discipline. That's a really great album.

That particular Transatlantic album is probably their best though.

I haven't heard all the albums from this list, but I'm surprised that Terria is being so dismissed. I got that one because it had great reviews, and indeed it's a perfect album which I really love.

1. Wilson
2. Phideaux. Prefer some of Phideaux's earlier albums, if they'd been on the list it would have made this choice harder. Snowtorch is still good though! Still waiting on word of another album.

I've said it before but I find it really interesting how over the years the attitude towards different bands and even sub-genres has changed on the site here, maybe more that the people have changed I don't know.

Blackwater Park is the only one I've heard from the list.

Bridge is probably the best Transatlantic album, but Snowtorch is my choice.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Ske for me, but only because ske means spoon in Danish and spoons are important.

^Rather good thanks, although there is a deficit of spoons.

Love Steve, Devin and Tool career, but just comparing the listed albums, got to say that Snowtorch is the best release here, so there's my vote...

Yeah, it can become slightly frustrating how you think you know what the preferences in the prog world are... and then one day you find out everything is upside down. Next the favourite band on this site will be Supertramp or Toto, nobody will care for Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson (perhaps ELP will be back to god-like status, though), and Yes's and Genesis favourite albums will be 90125 and ABACAB.

Got to be Steven Wilson.  Lateralus is one I admire more than actually enjoy while I got bored with Transatlantic a long time ago. Perhaps I played that album too much. Don't know the others.

you're exaggerating, nobody's ever claimed Abacab is a masterpiece on the forum, or that is better than their 70s albums.
As for Toto, they have always been rejected, surely a great band, but they don't belong here.
Classic prog will always get the love, no worries. Smile

I won't vote yet, no album really stands out for me and I'll try to listen to a couple I do not know.

I do like Townsend's Terria, I'll try to give it a listen, haven't listened to it in a really long time. I dunno, it might just get my vote.

I'd probably like Devin Townsends music more if he'd just mix his bass properly, every album of his I've got has the bottom end ripped out of it because he's mixed it so damn low that you can barely hear it, which just leaves a waking great gap in the mix and the obvious feeling that something important is missing (like the f**king bass!).

It's really frustrating for me because albums like Terria and Deconstruction would be brilliant if he mixed them properly, it's the reason I tend to gravitate towards his albums like Ghost.

I'm actually more shocked that Opeth only have 3 votes! Where the hell have all their fans gone?

I have listened to Blackwater Park only once, and enjoyed it. The others I have not, and there are plenty of artists on this list that I think I would like. So no vote, yet again.
