Doing two lists in descending year order. While this topic is in a Prog forum, I really like so much music not considered Prog in terms of not being included at PA it would be sad for me not mention those others, especially as it includes some of my very favourite bands. I rather lazily copied these lists off a topic I did covering music in and out of PA where I did a pair per year from 2023 to 1965. Were I to make a fresh list today, I have no doubt that they would not be identical... and also if I made one tomorrow that would not be the same as today's list.

In PA:

2009: Magma - Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré
2008: Elephant9 - Dodovoodoo
2007: William D. Drake - Briny Hooves
2006: OOIOO - Taiga
2005: Guapo - Black Oni
2004: Secret Chiefs 3 - Book of Horizons
2003: Robert Wyatt - Cuckooland
2002: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O.
2001: Secret Chiefs 3 - Book M
2000: Radiohead - Kid A

Not in PA:

2009: Natural Snow Buildings - Daughter of Darkness
2008: Portishead - Third
2007: PJ Harvey - White Chalk
2006: Natural Snow Buildings - The Dance of the Moon and the Sun
2005: Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
2004: Electrelane - The Power Out
2003: Melt-Banana - Cell-Scape (it's noisy and I find it fun)
2002: Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
2001: Air - 10 000 Hz Legend
2000: Broadcast - The Noise Made by People

Oooh. This is a great question. Okay, I will not limit my list to prog (meaning on the PA), but I will list my favorite album of every year for the 2000s, one album per artist (no repeats):

0.) Symphony X: V - The New Mythology Suite (duh)
1.) Fintroll: Jatkens tid (Opeth: Blackwater Park for prog, I guess)
2.) ISIS: Oceanic
3.) Boris: Feedbacker (Neurosis and Jarboe for prog)
4.) Orphaned Land: Mabool
5.) Nile: Annihilation of the Wicked (Gojira: From Mars to Sirius for prog, I guess)
6.) Unexpect: In a Flesh Aquarium
7.) Ensiferum: Victory Songs (Pelican: City of Echoes/Epica: The Divine Conspiracy for prog; tough decision... the former)
8.) Amaseffer: Slaves for Life (2008 was a phenomenal year for prog, metal, really everything)
9.) Om: God is Good (Stormy Atmosphere: Colorblind for prog)

I did not intend for it all to be metal, it just so happens to have been that.
