^ Yes indeed, when you have an AP account, once you submit your first list here the accounts are linked, and you can submit at AP simply by clicking a button. Cool

You can verify your list at AP here:


Edit: Nice list! Checking out the Frant1c release, it was the only one from the list I had not heard yet.

^ Thanks Mike. Yes, Frant1c a spin off from Nine Skies - took a few listens that one, but very enjoyable indeed once it had sunk in. Not on PA yet though, but I did submit here for appraisal (still waiting I think). I'm going through some of the other list submitted and am now playing Plantoid - Terrapath - 'tis nice so far.

What's the deadline on this? I don't really want to compile any definitive list until the year is actually over.

I'd say the deadline could be January 31 2025 Smile

Like I said above, there's a lot to explore. I've been exploring 2024 since January and I'm still discovering gems like this one (which I found today) every week Smile

Didn't know Godspeed had an album out. I wonder how much Opeth will move the needle? The general release date is coming soon (24 November) although I note that it's already getting reviews from those with presumably pre-release copies. Looking forward to it.

^ I'm slightly annoyed by the fact that even though their label responded to my request for a pre-release review copy (or stream), I never received any. Mostly angry at the "Angry Metal Guy" who did receive one LOL

Hi,

I'm still listening, but in reality, I am also turning off more stuff than I ever have, because so much of it sounds the same as many other bands.

I'll try to make a list of things I am/have enjoyed, though so far, it's not as good a list as I can remember from last year. 
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

^ I agree. Having listened to 200+ releases of 2024, although my tolerance for "sounding similar" is probably higher than yours, there seem to be fewer releases which really stand out as unique than last year.

I started to compile a list at AP, but found it didn't have any Stephan Thelen or SONAR in its database. Then I was going to handwrite a list, but found it too time consuming. So maybe next year...

It's very easy to add albums, I added 20 to complete my list. Sonar and Thelen are in the database.

^ Yes, it's easy to register at AP (or just log in if you use a Google account) and then add releases to discographies or add artist entries.

My Top 25 of 2024 episode will air December 10th on The Prog Corner YouTube channel.

Overall, I think 2023 had more great albums but 2024 has been deeper with many, many very good albums. 
As a result, this year is going to be really difficult with some very painful cuts being made...

BTW: If you register at AP and submit your list again, you'll be able to make subsequent updates much more easily without having to copy/paste forum code.

I agree, this year's prog was stale and generic, especially compared to '22/'23.

Blood Incantation and Plantoid are the easy standouts for me, in the full-flegdged prog realm... everything else great is just "prog related," or, gasp non-prog

huh, it seems The Aritocrats' Duck made my AotY list on AP, as well as Vipassi's Lightless... so there're those ig, too

I was pleased to see our weird Bakullama Sleepers at #343 overall at AP (eclectic prog). 

Thanks to all who had a listen this year!  We're going to work on a better more polished album for 2025.   I've been so busy I have not had time to listen to even the top 10, so the next few weeks will be devoted to doing that.  I tend to agree that there is a certain 'sameness' in many of the tracks I have heard (which isn’t many) , I'm looking for NEW & DIFFERENT approaches but when I go too far outside the norm, they become less and less PROG-proper (by definition). Genres and labelings are stifling to a degree, but necessary... 

The bent Knee 20 pills is one of the ones towards the top that I'm familiar with. And like.

I don't know how many of you find the time to listen to SO MUCH Music... Amazing!  Those of you who are familiar with this music... Could you point me in the direction of the more Krautrock, spacerock, stoner type music released this year that does not sound like Steve Wilson, Tool, and or Genesis?  It's not that I dont like that music... I really did!

Puzzled by a lot of comments. I love this year a lot and it's at least as good as last year in my estimation.Steve Hackett is barely clinging onto my top 30 for the year and that is a fine album. Deep Purple don't make my personal top 50 but it's another great album from a band in late career bloom. Oh well.
