Top 20 Albums of the Decade

Thanks for sharing your list. Not one that I would necessarily agree with, but that's the nature of life here.

I've actually seen most of those albums talked about a lot, and probably 8 of them would be on my list too.

See here.

It's gonna be done in autumn and out until the end of the year hopefully.

Well, I dont consider that genre prog, so I dont go on related threads. But even so, even other genres I dont listen to, I usually see stuff about them throughout the site or forums. Whatever, I just don't agree with the Tech-genre being a "prog genre"/but I'm not saying it's bad.

Here is my list anyway. Took a little while to figure out the positions.

20. Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient
19. Planet X - Moonbabies
18. Camel - A Nod and A Wink
17. Spock's Beard - V
16. Riverside - Anno Domani High Definition
15. Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
14. Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
13. Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
12. The Flower Kings - Unfold the Future
11. Beardfish - Sleeping In Traffic: Part Two
10. Karmakanic - Who's The Boss In The Factory?
09. Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
08. Neal Morse - ?
07. Opeth - Ghost Reveries
06. Pat Metheny Group - The Way Up
05. Transatlantic - The Whirlwind
04. Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
03. Hiromi - Time Control
02. King Crimson - The Power To Believe
01. The Mars Volta - Deloused In The Comatorium

I watched about the first 15 minutes of it, really interesting and the music clips sounded awesome.  That timpani drumkit was intense!

Listening to the EP videos right now

2002-2011 should be included if we're to produce our own list, no?

Because I listed the top 20 albums of the 2000s and the list mostly included Tech-extreme bands. I was responding to Triceratopsoil's post.

Oh, OK, since you didn't quote anything it looked like you're addressing the posts above (which were our off-topic conversation about DorDeDuh).

Is Opeth still in that category? I thought they had been moved. If you saw my list of Top 20 prog albums 2000-2009, you would see Opeth made my top 10
