I don't listen to pretty much anything on the final list, assuming I am looking at the final results list......Seems like all of it is extremely obscure bands.

Hi,

I know there is a lot of music ... a lot!

But I'm in the same boat ... I don't want to vote when I have not been able to hear more stuff ... that might have been left behind because it is less seen and mentioned, or found. I've mentioned this before here in the board, and this is where I hoped our folks all discussed more many of these "new" listings ... so we can "validate" their entries so to speak into the listings.

I guess this is a GREAT time for the music to be out there, and have a chance at getting somewhere, and this is our hope, I suppose ... and that would be a good thing. But if I had a band, and was listed as 223 for the year 2023 ... I don't know how I would feel. I suppose thankful that I was noticed ... and then go back to the scratching board and start on the next piece or album. I keep thinking that I have to be into the art itself, and not the numbers.

And I listened to ALL of these! I think I missed a couple that did not have BC and were forcing you to pay up. I am on a very limited budget.

Pedro, the amount of prog music released each year is vast. Who is to say what is worthy and what isn't. People may find one gem in here which only one person suggested.

Hi,

After I got done taking a look at the listing, the first thing that came to my mind is that everything was listed that anyone could think of, to make the numbers. 

I can appreciate the work that went into it ... good job ... but I don't like the amazing numbers of albums that dilute what I would consider "progressive music" into simple washing machine juice ... helping you forget your favorites ... that's a good thing! But, sadly, the incredible number of stuff ... I went though Logan's and someone else's 50 list and listened to everything ... but I doubt I will ever get around to listening to this huge list ... besides the point that it is one huge continuous list and if I get to 175, and come back tomorrow, I have to scroll back through everything to get back to 174 or 176. I don't know ... maybe break the list up in 50's?

It's too big ... and I don't know many folks that will even try to get through it. And that might hurt what we really care about when it comes to the music itself ... it's not the database (and its numbers) ... it's the art, or the music!

Well, I have purchased or just listened to the following:

Neal Morse - The Dreamer
Eloy - Echoes From The Past
Roger Waters - DSOTM Redux
Roz Vitalis - Quid Nesciunt Quid Faciunt
RPWL - Crime Scene
Yes - Mirror To The Sky
Riverside - ID Entity

Quite too few to vote...

Anyway, brwosing the list I've seen more than 10 albums to put on my wishlist
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Let me check your list better, but at a first glance nothing has come to my mind

Interesting Mike, to have a look at all those music websites outside the usual spectrum of prog music. In my opinion a lot of the current prog is less adventurous and elaborate than bands on those websites. I highly recommend the Periplo musical project by Juan Antonio Vergara (see my PA review), from classic 70s prog to folk, prog, flamenco, raga, blues, electronic ... so many new eclectic Spanish bands that sound progressive in their own special way.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it! As mentioned above, I will try to improve on the templates to condense the lists a little bit. There's definitely too much scrolling needed Wink

Yes, last year I generally started looking at non-prog music websites and added a lot of releases to AP that weren't exactly prog, but "prog-adjacent" in some way or another. Mainly from RYM, but also from Sputnik and AOTY, and from my German RockHard magazine. I find it very interesting to see the entire spectrum of music that fellow progheads listen to. Most of it is prog, but some is adjacent, and some isn't "prog" at all, but still quite interesting and often awesome. And of course the definition of what is prog is ever shifting ...

Great work, what a success this was! I've compiled the top 50 as a list on RateYourMusic: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/DoomZappo/progarchivess-top-50-albums-of-2023/

Also I apologize for adding/voting for the one album in the list without cover art Embarrassed I've just added a Bandcamp list to its AP page: https://awesomeprog.com/releases/68423

Off to listen to some of the winners now! I haven't even heard #1 yet!

Have you tried different browsers and tried different settings/ temporarily disabling add-ons....? You have had issues dealing with code.

Anyway, great job, Mike. I really like seeing the different lists, and am pleased to now not just mention the "in PA" ones. This approach also helped to notice albums and acts missing in PA. There is such a wealth of fabulous music these days, be it Prog, Prog umbrella/spectrum, semi-Prog, Prog related, and non-Prog and progressive/experimental/art music generally.

Nope. I may be crazy but not that crazy. This morning it was all one long list with mixed prog and non-prog however NOW it has changed. I don't know why but this happens sometimes. I'll come back to a thread and things rearrange or disappear. I don't get it and just attribute it to just another browser glitch :)

Doesn't matter. Great list(s)!
