Interesting choice. I like almost all the material on this Crimson release but find the production wearying to listen to all the way through. Just wish they would remaster the critter. -------------

This album (which I love to pieces) is on your lists for 1999 and 2000, and with two different ratings!? (In fact I'm not so sure about whether it's 1999 or 2000, but PA has it for 1999.) |

Hmmm, I have a lot from these years but the majority is not listed on PA. Anyway, here we go: Radiohead - Kid A Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven Don Caballero - American Don Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun Holger Czukay - La Luna Bjork - Selmasongs Labradford - Fixed::Contract Annette Peacock - An Acrobat's Heart Irmin Schmidt - Gormenghast A Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms The ConstruKction of Light is successfully avoided. Probably just about listworthy, but also for me rather a low point of KC (but then low point of KC still means quite good). Trey Gunn just didn't make it either.

Good year for avant-prog, so I will play too... Uzva - Tammikuinen Tammela Volapuk - Polygot 5uu's / Dave Kerman - Regarding Purgatories Alamaailman Vasarat - Vasaraasia Birdsongs of the Mesozoic - Petrophonics Cheer-Accident - Salad Days Broadcast - The Noise Made By People Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun Radiohead - Kid A White Willow - Sacrament Broadcast is not listed on PA, but.. they are neo-psychedelic band influenced by the United States of America (s/t album from 1968), so maybe they should be listed? |

I don't know why it bothers me, but it does.  Everyone is making an effort to come up with studio albums exclusively, but you often post live albums, compilations which is just wrong (to put it nicely). It's music from that particular year, what musicians have created then (in this case 2000).  There I said it.

That's a good point, but if I removed all of the live albums and compilations from my list, that would only leave me with just six albums.

Date Posted: December 15 2021 at 06:08
six albums which is fine, you come back and write some more when you remember other albums.

That's right. The full title is "Gods of Light '73-'75", but the album wasn't released until the year 2000.

Date Posted: December 15 2021 at 06:43
That's all I have for this particular year, so I won't be coming back with more albums later. I'll have a lot more albums to choose from for 2001 though.

@Cristi: I think the no live albums rule is one you just made up!? For sure I have listed live albums, if only those recorded in that year (or the year before but released as live album of recent music - also studio albums released in year x may have been recorded in year x-1). I see how one can mock Paul's list, however it is quite typical for these threads that lists are filled with some other stuff if PA-listed (!) studio albums don't get somebody to 10, sometimes even if they do. I also think I have seen others posting compilations (though not me). Ultimately there's no winner, and this means everybody can play by their own rules, even if I agree that it is more fun if rules are at least to some extent aligned. |

so have I misunderstood then? I thought we have to think of studio albums, created that particular year. It makes sense to me. A live album? OK ,fine if it was played and released in that particular year. But a compilation makes no sense.

I agree that it makes no sense to include compilation albums (generally, nor the song, neither the performance are from the year in question...). I sometimes include live albums, if they are from that period, because I find them worth mentioning or because I have not that many studio albums to mention... Let's see for this year. Sometimes I also include albums that are not listed on PA but that I personally consider prog enough to mention... - A Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms - Bozzio, Levin, Stevens - Situation Dangerous - Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven - Radiohead - Kid A - Mastica - '99 - Gong - Zero to Infinity - Einstürzende Neubauten - Silence is Sexy - Taal - Mister Green - Bruford Levin Upper Extremities – BLUE Nights - Erik Truffaz - The Mask ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

I'm not really prescribing any strict rules with these threads. I too have listed live albums, as well as compilations of previously unreleased archive material; I do kinda see the latter as cheating so I generally try to avoid it, but I wouldn't want to impose that limitation on anyone else. This stuff is all just for fun anyway :P ------------- https://mirasnelder.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - Freelance composer, accepting commissions | https://mirasnelder.bandcamp.com/album/altered-acuity" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp page |

In that case, I'll remove Colosseum's Anthology compilation from my list - leaving me with eleven albums - then we're both happy.

to be fair that is a great live album and one of the best I've ever heard by anyone ...however it says very little about 2000 as a year

^ All my year lists include what was released that year regardless of recording date but that's not fair is it? The Gnosis site goes by the date the album was recorded not the year it was released which would be more accurate for what was going on that particular year. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Seeing as the 2009 thread is up now, I'm going to speed run the whole 2000s. It is worth noting, though, that my answers basically change on a daily basis. 1: The Shaming of the True by Kevin Gilbert 2: The Perfect Element, Pt. 1 by Pain of Salvation 3: Kid A by Radiohead 4: V - The New Mythology Suite by Symphony X 5: V by Spock’s Beard 6: Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree 7: Disconnected by Fates Warning 8: The Hidden Step by Ozric Tentacles 9: The Seventh House by IQ 10: It’s Understood by Estradasphere ------------- I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)
