Seeing as the 2009 thread is up now, I'm going to speed run the whole 2000s.
It is worth noting, though, that my answers basically change on a daily basis.

1: The Shaming of the True by Kevin Gilbert
2: The Perfect Element, Pt. 1 by Pain of Salvation
3: Kid A by Radiohead
4: V - The New Mythology Suite by Symphony X
5: V by Spock’s Beard
6: Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree
7: Disconnected by Fates Warning
8: The Hidden Step by Ozric Tentacles
9: The Seventh House by IQ
10: It’s Understood by Estradasphere
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

That's right. The full title is "Gods of Light '73-'75", but the album wasn't released until the year 2000. Smile

to be fair that is a great live album and one of the best I've ever heard by anyone ...however it says very little about 2000 as a year Wink

Ultimately there's no winner, and this means everybody can play by their own rules, even if I agree that it is more fun if rules are at least to some extent aligned.

so have I misunderstood then? I thought we have to think of studio albums, created that particular year. It makes sense to me. 
A live album? OK ,fine if it was played and released in that particular year.  
But a compilation makes no sense. 
In that case, I'll remove Colosseum's Anthology compilation from my list - leaving me with eleven albums - then we're both happy. Smile

I'm not really prescribing any strict rules with these threads. I too have listed live albums, as well as compilations of previously unreleased archive material; I do kinda see the latter as cheating so I generally try to avoid it, but I wouldn't want to impose that limitation on anyone else. This stuff is all just for fun anyway :P

I agree that it makes no sense to include compilation albums (generally, nor the song, neither the performance are from the year in question...). I sometimes include live albums, if they are from that period, because I find them worth mentioning or because I have not that many studio albums to mention... Let's see for this year. Sometimes I also include albums that are not listed on PA but that I personally consider prog enough to mention...

- A Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms
- Bozzio, Levin, Stevens - Situation Dangerous
- Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
- Radiohead - Kid A
- Mastica - '99
- Gong - Zero to Infinity
- Einstürzende Neubauten - Silence is Sexy
- Taal - Mister Green
- Bruford Levin Upper Extremities – BLUE Nights
- Erik Truffaz - The Mask

It's actually the only Camel album I still listen to.

I don't know why it bothers me, but it does. Unhappy

Everyone is making an effort to come up with studio albums exclusively, but you often post live albums, compilations which is just wrong (to put it nicely). It's music from that particular year, what musicians have created then (in this case 2000). Disapprove

There I said it. Ouch
That's a good point, but if I removed all of the live albums and compilations from my list, that would only leave me with just six albums. Tongue

six albums which is fine, you come back and write some more when you remember other albums. 
That's all I have for this particular year, so I won't be coming back with more albums later. I'll have a lot more albums to choose from for 2001 though. Smile

Didn't know the rules state studio albums only, nor live or compilations. I have broken these unwritten rules myself. I hold my head in shame.

well, having seen your list, you did a great job there. Clap
