How ironic that the first year that sees us escape from what is supposedly the most accursed decade in the history of progressive rock happens to be the first year for which I am unable to list 10 prog albums I like  .1. Ozric Tentacles - Erpland 2. Mr. Sirius - Dirge 3. Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Ecophony Gaia 4. Naked City - Naked City 5. U Totem - U Totem 6. Third Ear Band - Magic Music 7. Happy The Man - Beginnings 8. Eric Woolfson - Freudiana 9. After Crying - Overground Music

I don't think I can name 10 prog and prog-related albums for 1990.

Your determination to go on with these polls is all the more admirable.

Yea, This is a tough year for me too. The only one that comes to mind is the Toy Matinee S/T album.
Other then that I can't think of much.

I don't think I even own 10 prog albums from that year.
Fish - Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirros Ozric Tentacles - Erpland Mind Over Four - The Goddess Dead Can Dance - Aion Ronald Shannon Jackson - Red Warrior Last Exit - Köln Queensryche - Empire King's X - Faith, Hope, Love I'll edit in more if I can. Addedd in King's X because the are listed as prog-related. But held off on Living Colour. Edited by mathman0806 - September 30 2021 at 17:07 |

Hi,
Not on any list ... sadly enough ... Peter Hammill -- Out of Water with a couple of fabulous pieces in it. Seems weird to me not seeing PH mentioned in these polls, which makes me think that folks have not heard a lot of that material, which is excellent. "A Way Out" is totally fantastic and deserving of a play ... but sadly some folks want idiot proof lyrics and stories that don't mean anything to be able to catch the far out way that this piece concludes both the album and the piece itself. I wonder if we "get it", or not. And no, I will never EVER miss a chance to say the words!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Ha, in recent weeks I catalogued my music collection (long live the barcode scanner!, well for those things with a barcode...), so I can now participate much easier in this kind of threads. So, a couple of my 1990 favourites (I even got to 10!): - Flairck - Alive - Ozric Tentacles - Erpland - Arrakeen - Patchwork - Fish - Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors - Dead Can Dance - Aion - Versailles - La cathédrale du temps* - Queensryche - Empire - The Penguin Café Orchestra - "Still Life" at the Penguin Café - Geoff Mann - Loud Symbols - Jan Akkerman - The Noise of Art Non-prog: - Depeche Mode - Violator - Sinéad O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got ... * On PA the release date is 1991, on Discogs (where my database is retrieving data from) it's 1990... This maybe allows me to mention them again next year...  Edited by suitkees - September 30 2021 at 08:35 |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I'm going to add Prefab Sprout's album to my list too, at the risk of being criticised by Cristi for adding a non-prog band to my list. I'm sure Ezra Winston's Ancient Afternoons is well-worth a listen too if it's anywhere near as good as Myth of the Chrysavides.

Not at all! I enjoy our little tete-a-tetes, even if no one else does.

Fred Frith - Step Across the Border Dead Can Dance - Aion Ozric Tentacles - Erpland Art Zoyd/J. A. Deane/J. Greinke Legendary Pink Dots - Crushed Velvet Apocalypse Naked City - Naked City Clearlight - Symphony II Peter Hammill - Out of Water (yes mosh I occasionally list Hammill!) Eno & Cale - Wrong Way Up Mike Oldfield - Amarok I forgot David Byrne - Rei Momo in 1989, or rather didn't know he is listed on PA. Quite enjoyable album. In 1989 it was around rank 8-12 so I didn't fill it in there, but surely it would've been top 10 in 1990.

1. Devil Doll - Eliogabalus
2. Už Jsme Doma - Uprostřed Slov (In the Middle of Words) 3. Ozric Tentacles - Erpland 4. Mastermind - Volume One 5. Social Tension - It Remainds Me of Those Days 6. U Totem - U Totem 7. Mr. Sirius - Dirge 8. Minimum Vital - Sarabandes 9. Solaris - 1990 10. Fish - Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors Honorable mentions: Tiemko - Océan Kalaban - Don't Panic Ruins - Stonehenge Clearlight - Clearlight Symphony II Malibran - The Wood of Tales Fields of the Nephilim - Elizium (my one non-PA entry) Still haven't had a chance to listen to the Naked City debut. I imagine that would be somewhere in this list.
