* Sufjan Stevens I would add to Crossover probably, if it were up to me (more folk than rock but can rock). Glenn Branca should be represented in PA for certain material, imo and might well be at some time. The Ascension is a remarkable album that sounds so ahead of its time to me - fabulous post-rock from 1981 there. And The Third Ascension fits my vision of progressive rock. Experimental and a more progressive artist than most in PA (too much so, some would say). Other stuff has a relation to me act-wise.

Some notable mentions that were released in the 2010 but recorded previously:

Bowie - A Reality Tour (recorded 2003, released 2010)
Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day (recorded 2007, released 2012)
Mogwai - Special Moves (recorded 2009, released 2010)
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize (recorded 2008, released 2011)
Sigur Rós - Inni (recorded 2008, released 2011)
Luis Alberto Spinetta - Spinetta y las bandas eternas (recorded December 4, 2009 and released December 4, 2010). Sinetta Jade is not in PA, but not solo. Surely he is relevant.

And while I opted for one per act in the poll, here are some other notables:

betcover!! - 20210829 (recorded and released in 2021)
Ciśnienie - JazzArt Underground (recorded 2018, released 2019). Probably its best known and most accliamed album, and I love it, but I have a particular thing for Brass Album. One of my very fave acts to suggest for PA inclusion.
Ciśnienie - Zwierzakom (recorded and released in 2023)
King Crimson - Meltdown: Live in Mexico (recorded 2017, released 2018)
King Crimson - Live in Chicago (recorded and released in 2017)
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Live in Chicago '23 (recorded and released in 2023)
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Live at Bonnaroo '22 (recorded and released in 2022)
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - Live in San Francisco '16 (recorded 2016, released 2020) etc.
King Krule - Live on the Moon (recorded and released in 2018)
Swans - We Rose From Your Bed With the Sun in Our Head (recorded 2011, released 2012)
Swans - Not Here / Not Now (recorded 2012-2013, released 2013)
Swans - The Gate (recorded 2014-2015, released 2015)
Swans - Live Rope (recorded 2023-2024, released November, 2024)

Nods to:
Black Sabbath - The End: 4 February 2017 Birmingham (recorded and released in 2017)
David Byrne - American Utopia on Broadway (Original Cast Recording Live) (released 2019, not sure exacly when recorded)
Nils Frahm - Tripping With Nils Frahm (released 2020 and not in PA)
Snarky Puppy - We Like It Here (recorded 22013, released 2014 and not in PA)

Here is a playlist that covers some of my favourite music in this poll. While I like to do individual tracks, that was not always possible this time to find ones for my region. So I have more than I wanted of Boris, Branca and black midi (that Branca and Boris really need listening in full -- great stuff):



Because I focused rather more on my own interests and I do include ones not in PA but I still want people to mention their favourite lives recorded from 2010 up, here is link to the top live album from 2010-2024 at PA: PA top live albums for 2010-2024 CLICK

There's various Art Zoyd albums that I have not heard and would be interested in.

Again, I set it to vote for one to make it challenge for some. And don't fret if your faves are not on the list, I'm happy to hear about those mentions and I treat this poll as more of start to the the conversation, hardly the be-all and end-all and that usually is the attitude I take. And happy to hear about Prog, Prog related/ adjacent and totally Non-Prog ones that you enjoy.

the Anathema album is arguably their finest hour..

While I adore various albums in the 1990s one, ultimately it was easy at the time to go with Fishmans. This time is harder and more focused overall on my particular tastes.

For me there is much great music here. The Anna von Hausswolff and Ciśnienie albums have been a couple of major live favourites of mine over recent years, but I'm most tempted by the Glenn Branca and Swans albums right now. I was going to go go Branca, but right now I feel Swans. And of course I adore Sufjan Stevens.... And well, I could go on and on.

Cisnienie > Nick Mason, King Crimson, Anna von Hausswolff, Bjork, Sufjan Stevens. Still need to listen to Swans live albums (so much music, so little time...). I didn't know Glenn Branca had a live album in this period. I guess you recommend it Greg?

I find it excellent. And would suggest that those who appreciate The Ascension (1981) might want to try it. There also is studio album called The Ascension: The Sequel from 2010, but I have not heard it. It's a noisy and heavy album, and I like that. One that people into things like Swans could enjoy.

Crimson and Gilmour from this list.

Please do. While it's not altogether to my taste, it's clearly a quality concert. It's not a contest, people don't need to compare choices, I just ask people to choose an album they like from the list if they like any of them, and to mention any others they like if they so wish. Really, I'm mostly just happy to see people expressing their interest in music. For me lives are wonderful, not just seeing lives in concert, or watching the musicians play, but it can add another dimension to music, another sound, be more playful, spontaneous in some cases or gritty than studio albums, and in various cases the live releases are my favourite albums that acts put out.

I would not expect most here to know many of these albums and seven in the poll aren't even in PA, but I wanted to include those acts and albums. Most of this is pretty representative of my rather [insert adjective of your choice] tastes.

Nick Mason > KC. The pancakes that don't have windows are often terraced.
