The penultimate week of RAC continues with 2001, and I will be casting a vote for my beloved Flower Kings. What about you?

My top five from this list:

1. Toxicity
2. Fine Day to Exit
3. Last Fair Deal
4. Verspetine
5. Recordings

And, yes, again there are a lot of albums from this year I prefer that are not in this selection.

Odd that you choose a compilation album of Yes instead of their album Magnification of this year, but maybe you were afraid it would harvest too many votes? It would indeed have gotten my vote. Now it goes to Björk - great album, and one of the first where I don't get tired of her singing/yelling...

Not of this World. Brilliant album, perhaps ignored a bit because it followed the even more brilliant Masquerade Overture.

I have to admit, I totally forgot about 'Magnification'. Otherwise it would have absolutely been featured. Big smile

THE NU METAL!!! 
P.S. - Taking into account the orchestral version of Elect The Dead, a place for Serj Tankian on PA wouldn't be a scandal, IMO

I don’t know if it’s Mandela Effect, but I swear System of a Down used to be in PA. I personally think both SoaD and Serj’s solo material are prog, but I guess a lot of people here would probably disagree.

The orchestral arrangement of Elect the Dead by John Psathas is pretty damn awesome. He’s an awesome composer, and is also someone I consider prog.

I'm afraid it's just you and me thinking so, and probably Tankian himself.

I would've voted for Rick Wakeman's Two Sides of Yes album, but seeing as he's not here, I'll vote for Yes instead. Smile

It had to be Ms. Guðmundsdóttir's album for me.

As there's no Magnification here, I'll go with Keystudio, closely followed by Bjork

After winning last week's 1973 RAC w/ 'Tales', I have to admit I am slightly surprised to see 'Keystudio' going for the win here as well. I can see why but I am still surprised.

I’m not surprised at all. The majority of folk here prefer the prog of the past. That’s why your random album clashes for the ‘70s always draw so many more votes than the clashes from the ‘00s and beyond.

Put a classic band in a later years poll, and it’s likely to do well. With a band like Yes, that won’t always be the case, because a lot of their post ‘70s output is dire - but the studio songs from Keys To Ascension are very well regarded, and I’ve often seen them described as the best Yes songs from outside their classic period.

I’d have been surprised if they didn’t run away with the win here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes are unbothered at the top on this RAC, could this change? I doubt it.

I chose Anathema’s A Fine Day to Exit just because no one has picked it and it deserves at least one vote for its excellent atmospheres that really draw you in to the quite fascinating story. But I do perhaps enjoy the Transatlantic and PT albums just a bit more

another vote for Keystudio

much better than Magnification in my books

Transatlantic would be next

Prog On!
