We arrive at the final poll of the series, this is going to be a busy one! We have nineteen entries, each one of which is a magnificent album in its own way so that should be a pretty hard choice... I know it is for me. As usual, pick your favorite and tell us who you voted for. Prog on and let's see what comes out of this.  1. 18 votes: Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever (2001) 2. 12 votes: Spock's Beard - V (2000) 3-5. 11 votes: Transatlantic - SMPT:e (2000)/ 6-11. 10 votes: Yes - Magnification (2001)/Echolyn - Mei (2002)/ 12-17. 9 votes: Discipline - To Shatter All Accord (2011)/Echolyn - S/T (2012)/Transatlantic - Kaleidoscope (2014)/Wobbler - Dwellers of the Deep (2020)/ 18-24. 8 votes: Neal Morse - One

Southern Empire - Civilisation - mainly because no one else will vote for it.

| Kotebel’s Omphalos is a fine album that gets my vote. |

Minor nitpick: in English you normally use Arabic numerals to write the century, not Roman (21st century instead of XXI c.). I've yet to see a native speaker who casually writes it like so without intentional stylization. PS: I'm sensitive to this phenomenon, because in my native language, Roman numerals are the norm. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education.

Tough one! I went old school with Spock's Beard. And thanks for doing these polls, that was fun. Really I could have picked SB or five others on here, all very close for me. Wobbler, Discipline, Neal Morse, All Traps On Earth and La Maschera Di Cera. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

 So instead of writing "21st century" the Roman numerals alternative actually allowed me to have the full title of the poll series. Otherwise, I would not use Roman numerals for such a phrase. |

As I said on the thread for the previous poll, this is a very difficult one for me. I could have voted for any of the three Transatlantic or two Neal Morse albums, they are all amongst my favourite albums of all time. Sola Scriptura is my final answer.

Spocks Beard. Because every song on that disc is killer, but the two epics slay! I'm also a fan of the late Kevin Gilbert. I believe he is the inspiration for the awesome "The Great Nothing."
