Interesting discussion about Radiohead, but do remember that in these threads many have been posting non-prog albums due to a percieved lack of decent prog albums to list!

true, thanks for pointing this out. Smile

I certainly think that music has gotten blurred across genres a lot in the last couple of decades. Maybe its me but Rock, Jazz, Blues, Punk, Metal were pretty clearly defined without much crossover. Nowadays it seems a lot of different influences crossing over. Personally I love it, particularly in jazz.

This is certainly true, though '97 seems to be one of the years where I'm getting back to having enough 'prog' albums available to pick.

Your "an old school British headbanger" helped me with putting some good words on what I already well knew was my very dominant Prog taste.

Oh good yet another discussion about 'what is prog' . Don't we just love those lol. I remember immediately thinking when Paranoid Android was released that prog had returned . a lot of other people thought the same , so much so that Radiohead were more than a little embarrassed by it.
In the seventies 'prog' had a much narrower definition and was applied mainly to the symphonic bands ELP, Yes etc. It has gradually widened over the years to the point where its just 'interesting rock music' that avoids the mainstream. Don't sweat it!

We are some, and maybe not so few, which have very different view of it.

Radiohead is the least offensive entry in any list considering some of the artists/bands I've seen in these '80s and '90s lists.

It's really just a fun poll, it's not that much of a deal.

I think I’d probably find it easier to compile a top ten of not prog from 1997 than prog from 1997, simply because a lot more of my favourite albums from this year are from bands either not at all prog, or not agreed to be prog enough for PA even if sometimes recognised as such outside this site. So, sticking to prog as agreed by PA, my top ten for 1997 (in alphabetical order only) is:

Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale
Art Zoyd - Häxan
David Bowie - Earthling
Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity
Höyry-Kone - Huono Parturi
In the Woods… - Omnio
Koenji Hyakkei- Two
Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Tea Party - Transmission

Now to go back and see what I have missed, by looking through the lists on the preceding pages!

Someone just like to go more in depth with things than that, and maybe Prog means more to them.
