Best of 2005

Here's MY choices.

If you like progressive fusion at all, then you MUST get this treasure: MACHINE AND THE SYNERGETIC NUTS "Leap Second Neutral".

Since you like Yes, then Wobbler is a very good choice.  I think it's the best symphonic prog CD of the year so far. You can get Wobbler here for a good price: http://www.lasercd.com/default.asp

If you like the more alternative stuff with some heaviness, then The Mars Volta's "Frances the Mute" is a great choice!

From Wikipedia:

"Coheed and Cambria is an American progressive rock band"

And, of course, Wikipedia is the authority!

Damn, I forgot that one

The new Van der graaf album, Present, is great.
I also love Mindrevolutions by Kaipa, but the rewievs on PA isn't that great.
The Inconsolable Secret by Glass hammer is another great album.
But for me there is only one must-have album this year, and that is Hinterland by wobbler
