1. Opeth (I'm getting an overwhelming feeling about this one, I'm buying into this one regardless of what I hear or read)
2. Meshuggah (They have been getting some more attention as of late, I'm sure they will come out with one of their best). 3. Kayo Dot (They have suceeded in impressing me everytime. Why should I doubt this one either?) 4. Ayreon (Based on the samples I have heard) 5. Nevermore (Prog or non-prog..whatever, I consider them more prog then a lot of PM bands on here, but whatever. This is another band that always impresses me. They just have tough contenders on this list). I guess you could always come back to this list and see if your predictions were true. I might completely bite it with all my money on Opeth. |

1) Ayreon 2) Opeth 3) Van Der Graaf Generator 4) Meshuggah 5) Biomechanical (they aren't on here but I consider them progressive) 6) Anathema (if it comes out in 2008) 7) Orphaned land 8) Stratovarius (I think their new album is coming out in '08) 9) Blind guardian (orchestral album, okay it's not prog but it's still going to be on my list) ------------- Sadly I am yet to find an experimental progressive avant-garde garage rock band. |

I know (and heard of) a lot of metaleers which are waiting for their new album.

1. Kayo Dot - The only band that I have complete faith in these days. This one's practically a done deal for top '08 album. 2. The Mars Volta - They've progressed quite a bit even from France the Mute, so this will be exciting. 3. A Silver Mt. Zion - One of my top post-rock bands, this will be good. 4. Anathema - It seems like it's been forever since their last album, I can't wait until the wait is over. 5.

if PT puts out an album of studio outakes consisting of Steven Wilson talking about the weather, or about the situation in Iraq, or even if he hums the latest prog gems that come into his head. You can pencil that in on the top of your 2008 list. If not... watch out for the new Beardfish album. Think she is going to be a great one.

Now, now, if that were true, Blackfield II would have placed 2nd instead of in a 17 way tie for 61st, and his ambient albums get very little discussion here. (BCVSMG and the Continuum albums).
My hope is that Ayreon's new album is as magnificent as some of the previous albums. Also, looking forward to the new unknowns to make their way in to our common vocabulary. -------------

Not seriously seriously, but yes, I took you seriously. I realize that your comment was similar to Micky's and said in jest/disgust. In my defense, I voted for my top 5 albums in Logan's non-collab poll and Porcupine Tree was nowhere to be found, not that most would agree with my top 5.
