Interesting to compare this with the top 10 for 2005 culled from the overall most popular list
http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?MostPopular= 250
The top three are definitely my top three.

It would be fun to have a way to automatically generate lists like this for every year...

The Top Ten should have

Riverside's "Second Life Syndrome"

Neal Morse's "?"

They are worthy imho!

Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

I miss...

Riverside - Second Life Syndrome

Shadow Gallery - Room V

Anyway, I think Ghost Reveries is the best of those 5, and Opeth's album or TMV one deserves more than Deadwing the number 1 position, although, of course, Deadwing must be in the top five.

We were always be much human than we whish to be.

GREAT WORK, Tony!!!! Clap

It's not what I thought but I was not involved during vote due to work schedule was really tight. I wonder that "Frances The Mute" is here, because I don't think it deserves. Their previous album is better. Deadwing? It's not the best album by PT - so I'm wondering why it's number one? And why NEAL MORSE "One" is not here?

WOBBLER deserves it. Yeah! VdGG is OK without disc 2 which is so boring.

BTW, I fully RESPECT the team decision with this TOP 5. Most importantly we start new thing this new year. Congrats!!!!

Do you mean Neal Morse's "?"?

Frances should be number 1, but 4th place is good too.

Echolyn - The End is Beautiful

missing here!!!!!!!

To make harmony out of discord requires great skill and I think that you have to understand a bit about music to appreciate that!

What about OCTAVARIUM???

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

I was very disappointed with Pepper's Ghost Cyggie. It just lacks that indescribable "something". Its on my re-listen list for 2006 though.

As for Pallas' Dreams Of Men,well it starts out a killer and you think that it is going to be a classic album.Then it just flatlines...............

Although it was a bit of a departure from Immortal? and The Visitor, I feel it still is a strong album, not as strong as say... Believe or Side One.

I've just quoted you using Firefox 1.07.
Maybe you need to update?
