What a mind blowing list. I love this list because, the top 10 has 8 of my top 10. I never seen a list agree so much with my tastes as much as list. The only two I didn't have in my top 10 were Kate Bush and Haken. I'm in the process of buying a new home, so I had missed seeing this list. My loss, because I got to get Kate Bush and give Haken another listen. God Bless you for the list.

I'm very pleased to see Bilateral made the top 10. It was easily my number 1. My other favorite prog releases (Sympathetic Resonance and Mammoth) also faired quite well.
The only album that caught me by surprise was Kate Bush's.
Nice work, I'm looking forward to another great year in 2012

A nice snapshot. If you were to do it again in a year I suspect there would be some shifts but largely the same results. You set the terms and crunched the numbers. No need for people to get cheesed at the results.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

And and thanks for all the praise, everyone. It was a lot of work, but it payed off nicely, methinks.

Pleased to see Wilson,Opeth and Kate Bush featuring high on the list (as they were on mine  ). I guess great slabs of beautifully written,performed and produced music is just not enough for some folk.

Congratulations to Steven Wilson on a superlative slice of progressive music in the classic mould. To me it takes the best bits of traditional (ie "real") Prog Rock and brings it bang up to date - familiar without being derivative.
As for Opeth, well I am glad that "Prog Metal" has finally produced an album that is Prog Rock in the truest sense.

I agree. Sectarian is a great song. It got me really excited for the album when I first got it.

Kind of the same here for me although I do admit, it hit me pretty hard last listen I had for some reason or another. I can somewhat agree with the list in terms of the truly "prog" music on the website. Otherwise I'd want to see more post-rock or electronic.

My theory is that it made it to number 1 because Andy was actually using graph paper or made an error in his spreadsheet formulas.

Unexpect, Discipline, and Leprous all seem fitting for this list. I unfortunately still don't get what the big deal is with the new SW album though.

GFD is certainly good, but I wouldn't give it any more than 3.5 (if I'm feeling generous that day). But not worthy of the #1 spot for my ears.

Grace For Drowning is a good album, I can see its merits. However, it is such a depressing album, that I have to be in the mood to listen to it (which isn't often), and I feel this brings the album down, in terms of repeat listens. I don't feel that way about any of the PT albums I've heard.

That's exactly how I feel about it. I like it, not just because I sprung for the deluxe uber version, but it really is dreary.
