are you embarrassed for enjoying Pain of Salvation? 


This is just a bone for those that knew me on Progarchives in 05-07. Golden age of Progarchives if you want to call it that. LOLLOLBig smile

you used the "embarrassed" emoticon, so I thought you felt that way. 
No one should ever be embarrassed by any kind of music they enjoy.

For me this is the greatest Opeth-album! Although not heard all their growl-albums, Ghost Reviers and this are the only ones before Heritage.

Let's see,
Terria, from Devin Townsend,
Out There, from Rick Wakeman,
Train of Thought, from Dream Theater,
Anno Domini High Definition, from Riverside,
The Whirlwind, from Transatlantic.

And not so prog, I might add, Mother Earth from Within Temptation, Secret of the Runes from Therion, and I guess Cult and Reflections from Apocalyptica. Perhaps also Ilumination from Tristania.

Well I don't know a ton of modern prog, but there's nothing out there which could shove The Resistance or Origin Of Symmetry out of my top 5.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

This decade is one from which I have far more non-prog in my top albums. Anyway:
1 Art Zoyd - Metropolis
2 Jannik Top - Infernal Machina (France takes first and second spot!)
3 Jaga Jazzist - What We Must
4 Radiohead - Kid A
5 Holger Czukay - Linear City
shared with
5a Porcupine Tree - Deadwing (put Holger over this one because its less known)
Looking at what is already nominated, To Watch the Storms is almost up there.
