^ The Tangent have A Place in the Queue on my latest prog playlist starting tomorrow, just as soon as I finish my Strawbs listening marathon today. I've heard The Tangent bring a whole new angle to Neo Prog.

Lol... a little like you with your older artists, looking at it this way by year it's clear in my collection that around 2007-2008 it seems I stopped moving forward and started going backwards in time again. I have little new from 2008 onwards other than collecting from older artists and completing older artists.

On that note, I'm currently putting together a list of my favourite albums from the years 2010 through to 2020, although I'll wait until I've listened to all of The Tangent's albums before I post it.

Here are mine: 2000: Fates Warning - 'Disconnected' 2001: The Flower Kings - 'The Rainmaker' 2002: Porcupine Tree - 'In Absentia' 2003: Arena - 'Contagion'/ Dream Theater - 'Train of Thought' (I really cannot choose one over the other) 2004: The Flower Kings - 'Adam & Eve'/ The Dillinger Escape Plan - 'Miss Machine' (same here) 2005: The Mars Volta - 'Frances the Mute' 2006: Frost* - 'Milliontown' 2007: Porcupine Tree - 'Fear of a Blank Planet' 2008: Beardfish - 'Sleeping in Traffic Part Two' 2009: Mastodon - 'Crack the Skye'/ Transatlantic - 'The Whirlwind'/ Porcupine Tree - 'The Incident' I just cannot pick one favorite for most of these years, this is close to impossible for me! Goddamn, I have said it many times before, the 2000s are the decade that comes closest to challenging the 70s in terms of originality, variety and quality of progressive music!

Going off on a slight tangent here, but I don't understand how listening to any album once could possibly result in it becoming your favourite album of that year! Unless it's the only one you've heard from that year....  |

The only album that's ever come close to doing that for me was The Human Equation. But I could not possibly have made it the year's best immediately!

I love The Tangent and A Place In The Queue is the place to start!!! It's as if Yes and ELP were Canterbury Scene bands. And Andy Tillison is angry and opinionated and it's just a whole lot of fun!!! ------------- The Prog Corner |

Okay, here's my revamped list, featuring only post-1970's modern bands - my only regret being that I couldn't include Ayreon's Human Equation in the line-up as it clashes with my all-time favourite Symphonic Metal album by Within Temptation:- 2000: IQ - The Seventh House 2001: Mostly Autumn - The Story So Far 2002: Porcupine Tree - In Absentia 2003: Karnataka - Delicate Flame of Desire 2004: Within Temptation - The Silent Force 2005: Mostly Autumn - Storms Over Still Water 2006: The Tangent - A Place in the Queue 2007: Nightwish - Dark Passion Play 2008: Mostly Autumn - Glass Shadows 2009: The Tangent - Down and Out in Paris and London

Normally I like to come up with a newly thought out list every time a similar topic comes up. But I'll post the exact same list[s} I did in an older topic that I responded to very recently. See Drew's https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99632&PN=5" rel="nofollow - List one great album per year for the 2000s One could say that these kinds of topics involving release times are timeless at PA. I have read at another forum how much PAers are obsessed with lists, and I am no exception. My top Prog, by PA standards albums are: 2009: Magma - Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré 2008: Elephant9 - Dodovoodoo 2007: William D. Drake - Briny Hooves 2006: OOIOO - Taiga 2005: Guapo - Black Oni 2004: Secret Chiefs 3 - Book of Horizons 2003: Robert Wyatt - Cuckooland 2002: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O. 2001: Secret Chiefs 3 - Book M 2000: Radiohead - Kid A And while not asked for, to me this not in PA list is relevant, and a line between Prog and non-Prog (the Prog and non-Prog dichotomy) actually becomes harder for me to make as I get older. Most of this falls under my Prog umbrella. 2009: Natural Snow Buildings - Daughter of Darkness 2008: Portishead - Third 2007: PJ Harvey - White Chalk 2006: Natural Snow Buildings - The Dance of the Moon and the Sun 2005: Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase 2004: Electrelane - The Power Out 2003: Melt-Banana - Cell-Scape (it's noisy and I find it fun) 2002: Boards of Canada - Geogaddi 2001: Air - 10 000 Hz Legend 2000: Broadcast - The Noise Made by People ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
