1997 and prog metal dominates the chart with 7 entries while Discipline leads the way with their highest rated album.  Barely missing the cut at 27 & 28 are Steve Hackett with "A Midsummer's Night Dream" and Marillion with "This Strange Engine".

These are the top 25 PA ranked albums with at least 90 ratings presented in order of there QWR scores highest to lowest.

Vote for your favourite 1997 prog album!

The magnificent Unfolded Like Staircase. I came late to this album (and to Discipline), but now I am a fan.

Hmmm....OKC is probably my fave from that year but it's not as 'proggy' as what they did after it.

I guess GYBE but Hoyry-Kone and Happy Family are not far behind.

From this list I only know Legendary Tales from Rhapsody, but I really love that song.

a fine list of albums, really hard to choose.
voted for Fates Warning in the end but In the Woods, Enchant, Devin Townsend, Radiohead, Vanden Plas, The Gathering all made some great music that year, at least for me.

I will never understand how Rhapsody or Royal Hunt have high ranked albums here. Especially Rhapsody (of fire ).

IQ although this list reminds me just how much prog I don't know. The 90's seems to be a lot like that!

it's one of the rare times I'll go with a Prog Metal album in such a poll, but Divine Wings of Tragedy is one of the best albums I've ever heard.

Unfolded Like Staircase is the only album from the 1990s that made it to my top 10. OK Computer is second at a certain distance.

First vote for Huono Parturi!
Not a great year though - at least not in PA's top of the pops.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Entropia, such an inventive album. I voted for that ahead of In the Woods....
