Topic: Best prog year from ´00 to ´06 Posted: May 11 2006 at 20:04 |
So? I think this decade is better than the ´90...it has some new stuff, some excellent albums and some bands like Opeth, The Mars Volta among others are in their peak... So, what year was better? To help you I put this link to the top 100, there you can see which albums where in every year... http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp For me it´s between 2001 and 2003...although all years have some excellent stuff!

I agree that things have been getting better and better in prog these past few years. For me, 2005 was the best year, followed by 2003.

2001 - I've listened to MOSTLY AUTUMN music for the first time.
Didn't expect modern bands can be so good.

i cant decide between 2002(for mei-echolyn, remedy lane-PoS, and In Absentia-Porcupine Tree) or 2003(for The power to believe-King Crimson, Mei-Echolyn, skymind-Taal)
2002 was a good year
Mei - echolyn
Remedy Lane - PoS
In Absentia - PoS
but 2003 was better
The power to believe - King Crimson
Skymind - Taal
Damnation - Opeth

Agreed. Add Frances the Mute and Takk to that list, and you've got a damn good year.

2005 was great, but I have a feeling '06 will kick its ass, especially if Radiohead release their damn album soon!

Definately 2002, three progressive legends released doubled albums.
The Flower Kings- Unfold the Future
Dream Theater- Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Spock's Beard- Snow
not to mention Pain of Salvation's Remedy Lane. Coincidently all 4 of the mentioned releases are my favorite album from each band. 2002 was the best for sure.

I voted 2005, how can you deny deadwing, Good Apollo, etc. But 2006 looks like it'll be amazing. David Gilmours album was great, The Flaming Lips, etc. I think I heard something about a New Rush album, and a new Radiohead.
