I've given up sticking exclusively to prog (just like the rest of you): Borodin String Quartet - (Dmitri Schostacovich) String Quartets 3, 7 & 8 Rabih Abou-Khalil - Al-Jadida UC Berkeley Chamber Chorus / The California EAR Unit - (Morton Feldman) Rothko Chapel; Why Patterns? Swans - White Light From the Mouth of Infinity Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Sonny Sharrock - Ask the Ages Carcass - Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory Hassan Hakmoun & Adam Rudolph - Gift of the Gnawa MC Solaar - Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo |

well, I haven't given up, at least prog-related. Coming up with albums from whatever genre is easy. Sticking with prog & prog related is a welcome challenge, with prog lists I may find out about albums I do not know.

^ I couldn't make a prog top ten for this year filled with music love - or even like. But I do consider everything on my list as more genuinely progressive in "spirit" than Marillion was in 1991 |

I only disagreed on what you said that we've all given up on making a prog list. Well, I haven't, all the albums in the lists I made are at least prog related. Making a list with whatever genre is easy. |

Well, with live albums and compilations I don't have too much trouble to get to ten... (trying to privilege studio albums though): Twelfth Night - Collector's Item Ozric Tentacles - Strangeitude Banco del mutuo soccorso - Da qui messere si domina la valle (1991 re-recordings of Banco & Darwin) Frank Zappa - The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life Cardiacs - Songs For Ships And Irons Pascal Comelade - Ragazzin' the Blues Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Now - Spheres Camel - Dust and Dreams Pendragon - The World Magellan - Hour of Restoration; hmm, maybe not really top ten... Savatage - Streets, A Rock Opera then? I hesitate to put Yes - Union in my top ten... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

^ It's been a while for me too that I listened to that album (the only one I know of them). I thought you might mention Savatage in your list...? ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

1990 was a tough year for prog, I could not come up with 10 albums, but 1991 was a much better year.

Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Slint - Spiderland Mr. Bungle - s/t Cardiacs - Songs for Ships and Irons Robert Fripp and the League of Crafty Guitarists - Show of Hands Bill Bruford's Earthworks - All Heaven Broke Loose
Rain Tree Crow - s/t Irmin Schmidt - Impossible Holidays Manfred Mann's Plains Music - s/t Legendary Pink Dots - The Maria Dimension Prog only here, and I don't even list the Ozrics, Wyatt, Primus, Hammill, or Camel (not the biggest fan of Dust and Dreams but it's far better than We Can't Dance for sure)! By the way, I have only ever listed stuff from PA plus Irmin Schmidt plus Mick Karn (who belong here for sure)... however I have to admit that three times or so in some of the earlier polls I listed an album I've only listened to for the first time for putting together the year's list. |
