So many great albums to choose from, and some years it's hard to pick just one, but from the top of my head (albums on PA only):

2000: White Willow, Sacrament
2001: Mostly Autumn, The Last Bright Light 
2002: Motorpsycho and Jaga Jazzist Horns, In the Fishtank (not the best year by any means)
2003: Steve Hackett, To Watch the Storms (the opposite, so many too choose from here)
2004: White Willow, Storm Season / Ayreon, The Human Equation / Matthew Parmenter, Astray (can't choose between these three, sorry)
2005: Riverside, Second Life Syndrome
2006: Pure Reason Revolution, The Dark Third
2007: Phideaux, Doomsday Afternoon (another very strong year)
2008: Steven Wilson, Insurgentes / Opeth, Watershed / Il Bacio Della Medusa, Discesa Agl'Inferi D'un Giovane Amante (another "impossible to choose between these" year)
2009: Astra, The Weirding / Judy Dyble, Talking With Strangers
2010: Susanne Sundfør, The Brothel
2011: Discipline, To Shatter All Accord / Blood Ceremony, Living With The Ancients
2012: Susanne Sundfør, The Silicone Veil / Motorpsycho and Ståle Storløkken, The Death-Defying Unicorn
2013: La Maschera di Cera, Le Porte Del Domani
2014: Seven Impale, City of the Sun
2015: Steven Wilson, Hand.Cannot.Erase
2016: Thy Catafalque, Meta
Bigger on the inside.

Man, I forgot all about this post! You guys have put up some amazing lists--many selections of which I honor and agree--and equally as many that I haven't given appropriate attention. Funny to see a 2014 post still have life. If I had to update my own list it would look like this:

our resident forum master of mind bending musings..  you need a hit from a joint, a tab of acid, or shotgunning your beer of choice before reading his posts haha.  If the forum is Venus.. and me from Mars...  he is from Jupiter.. and god bless him for it.
