With Porcupine Tree scooping up more than half the votes on the previous poll (2002), we could safely move on to 2003, another year full of incredibly strong releases with many familiar faces from the previous polls. Since there is no Porcupine Tree this year, let's see who might turn out to be the winner.  Poll-winning albums as of now: 2000: Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun 2001: Opeth - Blackwater Park 2002: Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

Nothing heavy about "Damnation", unless I'm missing something?  The Mars Volta is my choice. |

I really like Anekdoten's Gravity a lot, so that's where my vote went. Secretly hidden inside this post is a recipe for baked beans. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Not sure how much DT fits in with the others, but ToT gets my vote here... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

I adore this album, but it's my runner up here to my favourite Anekdoten album Gravity. Maybe a co-favourite with Until All The Ghosts Are Gone actually. 2003 is a huge year for me, one of my all-time favourites. It's just good seeing the many albums you listed, bringing back good memories. OSI's debut is a favourite along with Train Of Thought and Out Of Myself from your list. How about some more? The Power To Believe by King Crimson Twist Of Fate by John Arch The self-titled debut by Amplifier A Murder Of Crows by Deadsoul Tribe ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

As for KC, this is another massive favorite of mine and despite being quite heavy overall, I didn't really know whether they fit the category as much as the other albums included... Well, probably they fit as much as Opeth's 'Damnation'  In any case 'The Power to Believe' has to be the top honorable mention!

| I was divided here between Anekdoten and the Mars Volta, but went with the Mars Volta. Damnation is not a heavy prog album. |

It's been a long time since I last heard Anekdoten's Gravity. It's a band I liked but never became a particular favourite. I'm listening to it again now and am happy to give it my vote. By the way, I understand that this is a contest, and there's nothing wrong with that, but for myself I don't treat these as competitions with winners or losers. I just like to the enthuse about music I appreciate with others, and that in itself make the music a winner in my book. And it makes me a winner if myself and others can together share in an express that appreciation ("one of us, gooble gobble, one of us..."). I am not the competitive type, but maybe that's because I always was more of wiener than a winner... Maybe a Bavarian Bratwurst? We should have wiener emoticon, --> I have heard the Prog community described as a sausage-fest.  ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Anathema! Ironically, many of the other artists listed are an anathema to me.

De-Loused in the Comatorium also fond of OSI, Damnation and Out of Myself ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Riverside here ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Out of the options given I went with Sikth simply because that release doesn't get nearly as much appreciation as it should

Mine was more of general comment on polls when people focus on the idea of "winners". It's quite common here. Having winners can create a sense of drama. My wife watches shows like Survivor. I've said that I often would rather survival shows that are not contests with necessary winners and losers. Of course the ones who fail to survive kind of are losers, even if they expire later in some of the more extreme survival ones like an extreme fasting challenge such as The Hungry Games and the more extreme still, The Really Hungry Games. :) I have not been playing close enough attention to be honest, really am out of it these days (got over COVID recently and still having issues) but I figured you were going to have the option with the most votes from each poll compete against each other at the end. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
