Note: this is the thread for your lists, for discussion please use the PA Album of the Year Discussion thread (CLICK)

Hello all, and welcome to the the 2023 PA Album of the Year event! This year we decided to do things more than a little differently.

In the past this was only open to collaborators and some VIPs, but now it's open to all PA members provided they aren't new members registering here in order to prop-up certain albums and are not alternative accounts.... Also, Mike of awesomeprog has provided an awesome tool to use where you can look through the yearly albums, search for albums and add and order those albums for your own list: see https://awesomeprog.com/aoty-poll

Please follow that link to add your album choices, then re-post the code in this topic so that your list can be officially counted. As you see with the browse function there for albums, you can limit to ones in PA and include others. The albums included in PA will count towards the official Album of the Year, but please try to choose all that you care about and let the tool help sort out its applicability for the album of the year. Mike knows his tool better than I, so please read his post below.

Up to 20 albums can count towards your "votes" for the Prog Archives Album of the Year event. Your top choices scores 20 points and so on, but you need not choose that many and your top albums will have as much value as if you chose more albums. Additionally, you can choose many more albums, it's just that those ones in PA outside of your top 20 will not score any points from your list.

Also, you can add to your lists, re-order, drop from your list and generally tweak it, and you can post multiple times in this topic when you make changes. In fact, you should re-post your list in this topic when you make changes, otherwise your changes will not be saved and tallied. So don;t worry if you only have few to start. While I would encourage all to try to bite the bullet and rank their lists, there is an option of getting equal score for all your choices if you are unwilling.

If you have technical issues, please let us know, and by us I really mean particularly Mike, but I and others might very well be able to help.

The deadline for getting your list in for the official Album of the Year list is January, 31st. Please try not to leave it that late even if you plan to tweak it until the end. In February the results will be posted.

Thanks to all who participate.

Here's how this works:
  • Go to https://awesomeprog.com/aoty-pollYou do not need to register at AP in order to participate.
  • Select your favorite releases there. The AP database contains almost all PA releases. If any release is missing, please let me know either via PM or at AP, or in the feedback thread, and we will make it available. If you have an account at AP, you can also create and link it to PA yourself.
  • You can select any release you want, but it should be awesome. Please do not fill the list with less-than-awesome releases just to hit the maximum number. You can stick with only PA releases, but you should also include non-pa releases if they are awesome, and even if they are non-prog. The system will make sure that only PA releases will end up in the PA result.
  • This poll uses a maximum of 20 releases per list. Shorter lists are welcome! The first release will yield 20 points, the second 19, and so on. You can also configure your list to be unranked, in that case each release will get an equal number of points (matching the sum of points your list would have yielded had it been ranked).
  • Since you can submit any release, regardless of whether it is listed at PA or not, your list can be much longer than 20 releases. As a general rule, you should list ALL awesome releases you can think of. Sort it if you can, submit it, and let the system figure out the score. So any list length is fine, if it represents all the awesome releases you know. And regardless of the resulting combined and official chart, users will be able to see your entire list.
  • Once your list looks good, you need to copy the generated code and paste it into a new reply in this thread. This is how we make sure that only legitimate PA forum users can vote, and that everyone can only submit one list. 
  • I am periodically scanning this thread and when I do, submitted lists will be registered and will show up on the tool page.
  • If you want to update your list, feel free to do so as often as you like. You update your list by posting a new one in this thread. Your previous list should still be available in the tool (it persists the lists in your browser), but if you have lost it there is a textarea where you can paste any list (just copy it from a post) to import your list.
  • When the poll is closed (currently we envision January 31 as the last day of voting) I will export the final result in another thread.
  • If you absolutely refuse to use the tool, you can also post your list here, and I will import it into the tool for you when I have some spare time.

Nice and handy tool! Thumbs Up  (and I don't mind seeing results while things are going..).

2. Roz Vitalis - Quia Nesciunt Quid Faciunt {ap:66767}

3. Agusa - Prima Materia {ap:64672}

These, along with the non-PA artists after the Top 17 I voted for, I featured on Nickie’s Niches.  Following are the remaining Top 17.  Let me know if I need to select 20 in all, and I will find 3 more, but that would be stretching my “I love these releases,” statement, lol. 

 4. The Emerald Dawn - In Time {ap:64334}

5. T.A.P - Paradigms {ap:65934}

6. Seven Reizh - La Barque Ailee Et L'albatros ...quand S'envolent Les Mots... {ap:63872}

7. Mondo Drag - Through The Hourglass {ap:65211}

8. Compassionizer - As Smoke Is Driven Away {ap:55546}

9. Echo Us - Inland Empire {ap:54507}

10. Deposed King - One Man's Grief {ap:54610}

11. Nine Skies - The Lightmaker {ap:64671}

12. Dominic Sanderson - Impermanence {ap:54709}

13. Rick Miller - Altered States {ap:54270}

14. MaterialEyes - Inside Out {ap:65289}

15. Nova Cascade - The Navigator {ap:65232}

16. Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate - The Light Of Ancient Mistakes {ap:64381}

17. Melanie Mau & Martin Schnella - The Rainbow Tree {ap:66892}

My other outstanding choices for this year are, that aren't in PA:

Harp "Albion"

Edenya "Another Place"

Rafe Pearlman "KANU"

Maud the moth & trajedesaliva "Bordando el manto terrestre" 

Secret Sky "Opium"

Chaos and the Cosmos "Our Song"

What Strange Beasts "Starlight's Castaways"

Ryan Shirlow "WF 68 - Ullstair University Vol 1"
