In the list PT's FoaBP and BTBAM'S Colors.
But also and perhaps rather :
Oceansize's Frames,
Anekdoten's A Time of Day,
Quidam's Alone Together,
Deadsoul Tribe's A Lullaby for the Devil,
Senogul's Senogul

A small choice for a year with many great Prog albums but you just happen to have my favourite album there, Snakes and Arrows, a real return to form for Rush.

Funny enough, my pick is among your options. BTBAM's Colors has really made my year. It's superb mix of genres, precision and epic-ness never ceases to amaze me.

Porcupine Tree with Neal Morse a close second. I also think Phideaux's Doomsday Afternoon should be on the list.

The Watch's Primitive? Why is this gem of classic prog so buried and / or deried by this community? It fits alongside 'Foxtrot' and 'In the Court of the Crimson King' better than any release of 2007. What exactly are you looking for if not unapologetically vintage progressive rock, executed with intense soulful emotion and endearing vivid colorful compositions? I'm 24 years old but I'm sorry, the 'modern' prog sound just equates to "lamenting drone."

Perhaps people believe FoaBP is so "noteworthy" because 07' sucked for prog. The releases are redundant, and do not progress music to any noteworthy degree. Same old song and dance for common prog bands such as Dream Theater, Neal Morse, and so on. |
And that's the problem, cause there's terrific not talked about prog bands like Senogul, Rational Diet, Grayceon, Obscura, Oaksenham, Phideaux, Pax Cecilia, La Pura Realided and many more.

Well, I think foabp/nr is a great album, porcupie tree always surprises me, and this is one of their masterpieces, well, if you don´t like a lot the album it´s ok, it´s your opinion.
by the way, where the hell that bands came form ? I never heard about 'em before
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not a big proger, I'm almost new-proggie :)

In that case, try Calle Debauche - "Potemkin Carnival"
