I'm going for a top 20 because I heard so many good and great albums this year that a top 10 would not show what I liked. (only studio releases)
--- 5* albums--- 1- Headspace - I Am Anonymous 2- Silhouette - Across The Rubicon 3- Nine Stones Close - One Eye on the Sunrise
--- 4.5* albums 4- Enochian Theory - Life...And All It Entails 5- Galahad - Beyond the Realms of Euphoria 6- Anathema - Weather Systems 7- Big Big Train - English Electric (Part 1) 8- Kompendium - Beneath The Waves 9- Sunchild - Isolation
---4* albums 10- Gazpacho - March of Ghosts 11- Mystery - The World is a Game 12- Flower Kings - Banks of Eden 13- Marillion - Sounds That Can't be Made 14- Threshold - March of Progress 15- IOEarth - Moments 16- 3RDegree - The Long Division 17- Neal Morse - Momentum 18- Affector - Harmagedon 19- Rush - Clockwork Angels 20- Galahad - Battle Scars
I have one 5* release not mentioned since it's not a full album but an EP: Moon Safari - Lovers End pt III: Skelleftea Symphony which would easily have made the top 5 if it was a full album. Also Phideaux' giveaway album could make the top 10...

The nine albums listed below are literally the only 2012 releases that I listened to this year. So, the top 4 listed I really like and are in order and after that, I could take or leave the rest (hence the gap).
1. Astra - The Black Chord
2. Rush - Clockwork Angels
3. Beardfish - The Void
4. Anglagard - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=38027" rel="nofollow - )
And that's it. I'm sure I'm missing out on tons of great releases this year, but I just haven't gotten around to listening to them. I guess I was too busy filling out my "old prog collection".
For my non-prog release favorites for this year, just a couple:
Soundgarden - King Animal
Deftones - Koi No Yokan

| Well it's averages so for it's always going to have a lower score than the people who think it's 5 stars.
I personally think one doth protest too much. Try being an Avant fan here. I don't see more than the odd posts mentioning 1 or 2 of my top 30. Of my first three picks they have 2 ratings, 31 ratings & aren't on the site yet!!

This is a very incomplete list (edit: It is now slightly more complete). My prog listening is significantly less than is was last year, so in the coming months I will get everything I missed and reorganize. I tried to keep this list prog, rather than prog related. No specific order.
Top 3: Echolyn - Echolyn Beardfish - The Void Enslaved - RIITIIR
The Next 7: Arjen Anthony Lucassen - Lost in the New Real Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandoras Pinata Astra - The Black Chord Trioscapes - Separate Realities T.R.A.M. - Lingua Franca Fusion Syndicate - s/t Between the Buried and Me
4Front, Karcius, Gazpacho, Anglagard, Anathema, also put out some good releases.

Didn't buy nearly enough Prog last year so only those that were purchased are listed ... and that's the only reason Rush is on there!
01 - Anglagard - Viljans Oga 02 - Hawkwind - Onward 03 - Storm Corrosion- Storm Corrosion 04 - Echolyn - Echolyn 05 - Flower Kings - Banks Of Eden 06 - Astra - The Black Chord 07 - Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited II 09 - Can - The Lost Tapes (not heard this enough yet but its better than Rush) 08 - Rush - Clockwork Angels

How about Top 3 (and only counting the albums that we actually bought):
- Viljans Öga
- Get All You Deserve (Wilson redeemed himself)
- Beneath the Waves (stretching it a little, 'cause it's not really "prog prog")
Perhaps - perhaps, the most noticeable debut. Clockwork Angels - the most dignified swan song?
Top 3 in the Meh, Bleh and Blah subcategory: - Storm Corrosion
- Les Voyages de l'Ame
- Rewotower

Nope. I really enjoy that album. Way more than your top album which placed at the bottom of my list for the year.

I haven't heard their new album but I used to listen to the quite often when I joined here. Today, not so much. Is it any different?

Well this is a little different from the list i submitted but when your trying to squeeze in a lot of releases late i was afraid this would happen. Same albums just a slightly different order with Motorpsycho moving to five and the rest moving down accordingly.
1-Steven Wilson-Get All You Deserve
2-Storm Corrosion-S/T 3-Anglagard-Viljans Oga
4-Can-The Lost Tapes
5-Motorpsycho-The Death Defying Unicorn 6-The Samuel Jackson Five-S/T 7-Astra-The Black Chord
8-Elephant9-Atlantis 9-Porcupine Tree-Octane Twisted 10-Alphataurus-Live In Bloom
