Moving on to 2006! You already know the drill, leave a vote as well as your additional preferences for that year, many albums are naturally missing from the ten-entry polls done here. A good year for sure, with a couple of interesting releases by great bands (as well as a couple not so brilliant ones).  Albums with the most votes from the previous polls: 2000: Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133878" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133878 2001: Tool - Lateralus https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133898" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133898 2002: Porcupine Tree - In Absentia https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133921" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133921 2003: Anekdoten - Gravity https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133930" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133930 2004: Ayreon - The Human Equation https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133952&PID=6162358#6162358" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133952&PID=6162358#6162358 2005: Porcupine Tree - Deadwing https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133957" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133957 |

Oh, such an easy choice..... the Vanden Plas is for me, one of the very best Prog Metal albums of that decade, let alone year! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

| Blood Mountain. One of my favorite releases from 2006: Celtic Frost - Monotheist. Prog-Adjacent for sure. |

I'll have to take a rain check on this poll as I don't know any of these albums.

^ Sorry, but Mastodon aren't my cup of tea at all. I'll go back to listening to Burt Bacharach.

I voted for Magyar Posse's Random Avenger even though I do not see it as Heavy Prog. It's a good post-rock album (and does have a kind of post-rock heaviness about it in places which is indeed heavy). Agalloch's Ashes Against the Grain would be my second most liked album here from what I know of the poll options. Amputechture I have liked too, and Blood Mountain as I recall. EDIT: I'll add a track from my album of choice as I often like to do and ask other people to do in my topics. It's "Random Avenger/European Lover" if it doesn't show up for some. |

Suit yourself - but the track I posted is quite accessible by Mastodon standards.

You don't like Magyar Posse's Random Avenger?  What is the world coming to? I blame society.

| The Mars Volta album. I like that more than their others (it's a bit more accessible maybe) |

Another hard one, but 10,000 Days may be my favorite here so I went with that. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Katatonia Russian Circles OSI Another heavy weight from 2006 that I really like is Zero Hour's "Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond". That was the first of two that featured Chris Salinas on vocals, previously from Power Of Omens. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I may have a problem: I haven't heard any of the listed albums ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Really?! There 7 quite famous or at least well known albums in this poll.

I've only previously heard of four of the bands in the poll - Katatonia; Mastodon; Tool: and The Mars Volta - none of which I'm a fan of, so that doesn't bode well for me liking the other six unknown bands.

| Out of these: Agalloch. Probably their best record too. |

I'm glad you mentioned this special band, and right now this one and The Mantle are my favourites from them. I still have to get to "Marrow Of The Spirit" which I plan to, once I get to the last of my Metal albums. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
