I feel like I need to hear a lot more prog from any of these years in particular to have a top ten that isn't just "the tennish prog albums I've heard from this year." That said, A Night At The Opera, while perhaps not strictly prog, is my favorite album of all time and it came out this year. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

was in my mind as was Kayak - Royal Bed Bouncer (probably their best album) and Rick Wakeman's - King Arthur but it's such a strong year so some great albums are not getting represented it seems!
