Other; Beyond Twilight - For the Love of Art and the Making

It is my absolute favourite album of all times and genres, and my most listened by a colossal margin.

I was talking on the phone while composing this, and it's really poor (even for me), I think, but I made the effort so will post anyway...

While I used the default setting for 2006 and Proto Prog and Prog Related are automatically excluded from the charts, one can include the subgenres for Prog Related and Proto Prog in the PA charts by manually jigging the urls. The subgenres are 38 (Prog Related) and 37 (Proto Prog).

For the collab lists, more than one album has made the lists for Prog Related. Of course David Bowie's Blacksstar "won" Collab album of the year in 2016 and that is included in Prog Related and Kate Bush did well while still in Prog Related.

Muse's Black Holes And Revelations is the number one album for Prog Related in 2006, by the way, followed by Iron Maiden's. Muse's is at #186 for 2006 for all subgenres with a minimum of one rating and iron maiden's does not make the top 250. If I set it to 400 ratings and up then Iron Maiden's is at number 10 for all subgenres. See HERE CLICK

Sorry, not at all interesting stuff, but I wanted to play around with the numbers a bit for my own interest and post some related thoughts that weren't too thought out.

I had a friend really into Iron Maiden, never got into it myself, but I have barely tried since the 80s. I was not into metal and the hardest my rock got might have been Led Zeppelin. I appreciate much metal and metal related music now. I like lots of classic heavy metal (Black Sabbath for instance) as well as things like post-metal, doom, stoner metal and quite a bit of experimentlal and noise metal.

First vote for The Mars Volta (and my favourite album by them). A Matter Of Life and Death is Maiden's masterpiece for me but they are strictly 'Prog related' so is excluded from PA's lists.

2006 is before my time, and I know a few from this list (OOIOO, Unexpect, Decemberists) but nothing else on the list comes even close to the majesty that is Joanna Newsoms best album imo...


It is a wonderful album and could have been in my top spot, and in fact if I were to choose one track then "Only SKin" would have been my immediate thought.



Glorious. I opted to give that album a vote despite my love for that North Sea Radio Orchestra album. She is something really special. I liked her then very much, but I now really love her music.

And thanks for the list, and others too!

Kind of surprised that neither of you like any albums in the poll, but that is a good album that I had neglected for my Awesome Prog list. Listening again, it has been many years since I last listened to it.

I have been exposed to various of her music via you (and others methinks) and I should give that album a spin.

------------------------------------------

As for my list, while in 2006/2007 my list would have been Avant Prog/Zeuhl dominated, this is now a heavy folk year for me (dominates my top 10 overall), in which I would include Natural Snow Buildings... Was nice to find that had been added to PA as I have been very into NSB and related acts for many years.

Given the period of my life, my favs from this year are not prog, although there are a few:
Alec K Redfearn and the Eyesores - The Smother Party
Dear Hunter - Act I (did I miss mentioning Act II in another poll?)
Devin Townsend Band - Synchestra
Islands - Return to Sea
Jay Munly - Jimmy Carter Syndrome
The Knife - Silent Shout
Luca Turilli - Infinite Wonders of Creation
Luca Turilli's Dreamquest - Visions
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Stolen Babies - s/t

Going through my music library, most of my other favourites from this year are also not prog.
