 Ok, fair choice but where is DT? Surely their album is better than VDGG!

I know there have been some other bands like Pagan's mind and Shadow gallery, Biomechanical, Co&Ca, Angra and John Petrucci that may not be included but defently DT should be in the top 5!

I'm very pleased that Ulver made it so high in the list. Perhaps they aren't as overlooked as I had thought.

NO COMPLAINTS!

I have and enjoy all 5 of those albums. Especially nice to see Wobbler make it. So there is great new prog coming out in the 2000s after all. For those of us usually stuck in the '70s, that's a nice thing.

I have to say, though, I am pretty surprised to see Sigur Ros's Takk... so high up there. It came out pretty late in the year, I didn't think it would be recognized as much as it was. Then, of course, there was Neal Morse's ?, which I expected to be WAY higher. WAY higher.

Eh, oh well.

 I'm all for Deadwing as the #1 CD of 2005, but conspiculously missing is 'Second Life Syndrome' (as others have echoed) by Riverside. Haven't heard enough of the others to argue their merit or lack of it.

Echolyn remains underrated and underappreciated. No "The End is Beautiful"?

What I've heard this year:

6. Izz: My River Flows

7. Pendragon "Believe"

23. Pallas "The Dreams of Men"

41. Dream Theater "Ocatvarium"

46. Kamelot "The Black Halo"

60. Glass Hammer "The Inconsolable Secret"

 

Red = Mildly Disagree With Position

Blue = Incredibly Disagrees With Position
