the thing with prog its a massive genre ive found you can have something like jethro tull and then transatlantic to dream theater and then early genesis and its a huge selection of good music....i do have one fault though i recently filled my ipod up with prog 32 gigs worth went for a bath put it on shuffle the first record came on thick as a brick part 1, 20 odd minutes later out of the bath and the same song was still on...Tongue
queen, genesis, pink floyd, spock's beard, transatlantic, pendragon, peter gabriel, supertramp, unitopia, the watch, the lens, IQ, camel, nektar, big big train, dream theater, galahad.

Almost all of the albums on the top 2011 list I've found to range from being really good to great, and there's a lot of them. It looks like (I hope anyway) that this decade may be prog's finest since the seventies, especially if most of the follow-up years are this good. Smile
The human heart instrinsically longs for that which is true, good, and beautiful. This is why timeless music is never without these qualities.

i started listening to genesis when i borrowed my dads abacab album in the 80's i got hooked but i went backwards and listened to all the early stuff, whilst listening to early queen and pink floyd and alice cooper i've been more in to rock/metal but a friend introduced me to some more obscure prog and now i have loads of the stuff, i'm in to symph prog and neo prog and yes this year has been great i started listening to transatlantic all 3 are great, anathema,unitopia, the watch, nektar there all goooooooooooooood

That's funny because someone posted saying the exact opposite:


I agree though.  It's been a great year.

Let us not overlook the latest albums by WOBBLER, PÄR LINDH PROJECT, PHIDEAUX and VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, plus the debut album by SANHEDRIN. Lots to enjoy this year.

AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR - Gangs

Hi all

Be great to know your thoughts and what you think are the best releases so far this year!
