Hold on, let me throw The Mars Volta onto the pile while we're at it. We're really close to making a decision here, I can feel it.

I considered both TMV and JJ. I didn't go with the former cuz it misses the debut but includes some of their weaker later albums. JJ is the opposite: strong recent material but some of the earlier stuff isn't as strong. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

| ^ I agree early JJ albums are not as strong as later releases, it's from What We Must onward where they really nailed it. If I remember correctly it was released in 2005. |

North Sea Radio Orchestra as band that didn't do albums before (Battles is close second); if I just go for the output in that period of any band including older ones, it'd probably be Swans. |

Based on polls and ratings you kind of have to give it to STEVEN WILSON. Personally, I'm so impressed with the talent that Francesco Zago & co. have supported over at AltrOck Productions and Fading Records during this exact time span, I have to give them some kind of credit. But then there is Buckethead . . . ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Steven Wilson has been mentioned a few times but does that include Porcupine Tree? This period includes 2 of their best albums Deadwing and Fear Of A Blank Planet . If we can merge these with Steven Wilson's solo releases then its a no brainer

And definitely any band that includes both of them

I'm not picking on you, but with the exception of Leprous and Haken, and Epica, none of them is from this perios (post 2005). BBT - released their debut in 1994 TFK - debut in 1995 Vanden Plas - debut in 1994 Devin Townsend - debut in 1997 Steven Wilson solo, maybe, but PT has been around a while.

I also interpret this to mean bands that didn't release albums before 2005. I will choose Aranis who released its debut in 2005 and now has nine studio albums (not that I can count the 2017 one for this topic from last year). |

excellent pics indeed Battles is the clear #1 for me however... what they have been doing is far above really what anyone else has been. As has been said as it is and shall be...
