Yea, I usually choose to go 1-10 rather than backwards. Maybe next year I'll add an element of suspense. Tongue

Nice job Collabs and thank you Andy!

Seven Impale were my only contribution to the Top 10 this year, but no complaints with the list. Edit:  What was I smoking?  I also had IQ and Knifeworld in my top 10.

Nice with the placement for Seven Impale. Saw them live yesterday, and they came across as an excellent and tight live unit well worth experiencing.

I had pretty much the same experience when I first tried to read The Silmarillion, many years ago. The reason, however, was that the Italian translation was truly dire, and likely to put almost anyone off reading the book. When, a few years later, I tried again after reading The Lord of the Rings, it finally clicked with me.

Not only the name, also the avatar. Eöl, a.a.a. The Dark Elf, is described as a smith with a slightly stooped way of walking.
 
I don't claim to have literary pretensions, but I've been a Tolkien fan for almost 38 years. But I fully agree with the modicum of patience to endeavor to read at all, as you put it LOL: at first I gave up reading The Silmarillion at chapter 10, wrestling my way through it during a month or so; after six months I tried again and I finished it within two weeks.

Me neither. Not surprised IQ, Swans and Floyd made the final. I'm impressed to see how far up the list Happy Family and Mogwai are.

Great work again, Andy Clap!
 
Like Eöl, I make my contribution public here:
 
1. Deluge Grander - Heliotians (18)
2. FreddeGredde - Brighter Skies (85)
3. Druckfarben - Second Sound (110)
4. Abel Ganz - Abel Ganz (139)
5. Dean Watson - Fantasizer! (39)
6. Kayo Dot - Coffins on Io (8)
7. iamthemorning - Belighted (33)
8. LogoS - L'Enigma della Vita (5)
9. Daal - Dances of the Drastic Navels (41)
X. Dream the Electric Sleep - Heretics (9)
 
Three albums in the top 10, one album with no other votes.
2014 has been a great year for prog (six albums I would give a 5-star rating and three others coming close).

Great work as always, Andy!
 
Here was my contribution to the 2014 Collab's AOTY list:
 
1. IQ - The Road of Bones (2)
2. Steven Rothery - The Ghosts of Pripyat (34)
3. Agusa - Högtid (50)
4. Dream the Electric Sheep - Heretics (9)
5. Atomic Ape - Swarm (32)
6. Mostly Autumn - Dressed in Voices (22)
7. Tim Bowness - Abandoned Dancehall Dreams (76)
8. The Merlin Bird - Chapter and Verse (204)
9. Pink Floyd - The Endless River (7)
10. My Brother the Wind - Once There Was a Time When Time and Space Were One (173)
 
Very interesting year, although I think last year's class was a bit better. Overall, a wide variety of different influences and compositional styles.
 
On a side note, I would have voted the brilliant Steve Wilson remaster of Jethro Tull's A Passion Play as the best album of 2014 (because it was), but a remaster is not allowed within the rules.

Very nice work Andyman
I would never have guessed that Opeth would end up as number one. At one point I thought it would either have been Kayo Dot or Seven Impale. They made it to the top 10 though.
