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

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. |

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.

Rest assured, my friend, that I have never used religion to invalidate your opinion. ![]() |

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.

Yes, good sense or just "I'll give you a beer if you admit that you're wrong" works plenty fine! ![]() |

I really like the new Phideaux album (Snowtorch), but he is a new discovery for me so he didn't make my decade list. 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. |

Yes, if 2000 isn't included in the this decade (2001-2010), and Somwhere to Elsewhere doesn't make it, then you sir, have missed out on a phenomenal album. ![]() But Echolyn's Mei would probably be my top album from 2001-2010. Edited by Epignosis - July 07 2011 at 15:39 |

Not intending to pile on further, but an album that I would have somewhere on a top 20 list would be The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium.

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. |

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. Edited by Logan - July 07 2011 at 15:55 |
