prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Not listed on PA, but one of my favourite bands. First time I see anyone else mentioning them here.
Electric Avenue Tapes is a live album, and I was in the audience when this was recorded. Big smile

Oh, thank you - I have this but really need to listen...its been so long.  ;)

My list (I think I am getting the year right) -

  1. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Grand Opening and Closing
  2. Tool - Laterus
  3. Radiohead - Amnesiac
  4. Opeth - Blackwater Park
  5. Marillion - Anoraknophobia
  6. Jannick Top - Soleil d'Ork
  7. Secret Chiefs 3 - Book M
  8. Motorpsycho - Phanerothyme
  9. Yes - Magnification
  10. Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever

And non-prog, but I would rate all of these much higher than the Yes and Transatlantic albums - 
  • Bjork - Vespertine
  • Fugazi - The Argument
  • Autechre - Confield
  • Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part
