Here is the third installment in these poll series dedicated to the year 2002! As far as I'm concerned this is a fantastic year for heavy music with progressive leanings, too many favorites here making it difficult to choose... Star

The other winners so far (these might change as the older polls remain open):
2000: Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
2001: Opeth - Blackwater Park

Nice poll! Clap

Tough choice, I gave my vote to the underrated & underappreciated Threshold.

Agalloch's The Mantle for me.

EDIT: By the way, I think this is such a great album and I hope that various others at the forum appreciate it as much as me.

Remedy Lane here...

Vanden Plas would probably get the runner up spot?

Remedy Lane, followed by The Odyssey. 

And my number three is a real (reasonably obscure) gem:

Would have voted for Porcupine Tree, but IMHO it's not exactly "heavy prog". They're quite heavy at times, but much less so than most other bands in the poll.

Porcupine Tree > Rush (I've always loved Vapor Trails)

Couldn't agree more, one of the really great years for progressive bands, and this poll takes a look at heavy bands exclusively. There is a lot of great stuff going on in the "lighter" sub-genres, too.

Yes nice to see Agalloch in this poll, it's a great album indeed and also one of my favorites here. Going to play it today Thumbs Up

My personal top pick would be Meshuggah's Nothing, probably their best album to me!

It's a great album indeed, my kind of black metal. Tongue

In Absentia, the first album where PT goes heavy. Love Vapor Trails as well, both of those have huge nostalgia factors with me.
And I would also mention NEBELNEST's Nova Express. Awesome record.

I see this band and album praised elsewhere as well, I have never given this band a proper chance and listening. I will listen soon. Smile
