GASP! Isn't Kerry Livgren a bit too "religious?!" ;-)

Anyone who includes albums by the likes of Doctor Nerve, Volapuk, Guapo, Aranis, Sotos, Rational Diet, Yugen, Zaar, and Non Credo is okay with me. Oh wait, he didn't.  His tastes are obviously very far removed from my tastes. 

My favourite album at the moment from that decade, incidentally, is Ernst Reijseger's Requiem for a Dying Planet which I got very recently.

Was just going to mention them.  I've not given any of their albums 5 stars (all 4 for me), but what an immensely important and creative band of the 2000s.

I have both Big Big Train albums, but they fell short for me. 
I will definitely look into Echolyn and Pure Reason Revolution. Thanks for the input.

But Echolyn's Mei would probably be my top album from 2001-2010.

Rest assured, my friend, that I have never used religion to invalidate your opinion.  Wink


Yes, good sense or just "I'll give you a beer if you admit that you're wrong" works plenty fine!  LOL

I find this list severely...limited.  Maybe that's because no fewer than 8 out of the 20 albums listed are Neal Morse or Steven Wilson related.

Not a bad list, really.  I was actually pleasantly surprised to see such (relatively) obscure gems and Milliontown and Wintercoast in the Top 20.  That said, there were a few omissions I found rather shocking:
 
Mei by Echolyn
Doomsday Afternoon by Phideaux
The Underfall Yard or The Difference Machine by Big Big Train
The Dark Third by Pure Reason Revolution
 
...all would've featured on my Top 10.

Ah, so the cartoon self-portrait avatars have finally made their way here.

This list caters to a very particular type of prog taste.  I'm sure there are a number of folks here whose list would look quite similar, but it's certainly not widely applicable.

Personally, not a single one of those albums would be even in my top 100 of the decade.
