2010 Univers Zero - Clivages
2011 North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon
2012 Swans - The Seer (it annoys me somewhat to have three Swans albums in this list but the toughest competition is 2012 and The Seer is the best of the bunch, so this is how it is. Substitute nomination for Kong - Merchants of Air)
2013 :zoviet*france: - The Tables are Turning
2014 Swans - To Be Kind
2015 William D. Drake - Revere Reach
2016 iamthemorning - Lighthouse (tied with a.P.a.t.T. - Fun With Music, and assuming that Bowie - Blackstar doesn't count as prog, which otherwise I couldn't not vote for)
2017 Art Zoyd _ Phase V
2018 Sonar and David Torn - Vortex
(2019 Swans - leaving meaning)
(2020 Zopp - Zopp)
(2021 Battlestations - Splinters Vol. I: Tremor)

I tend to explore music with some delay, so chances are there's much at least from 2019 onwards that I don't know and could still win its year. While I could see leaving meaning and Splinters as final year winners, the Zopp album, while solid and enjoyable, is still looking for replacement. Not exactly year winner material I'm afraid. The non-prog Stephen Fellows - Slow Glass would be a better bet as best album of the year but doesn't count here.

Per usual, I find it nearly impossible to pin down just one. So list presented with a runner-up.

2010: Ogo Dys - Azynder! (Pryapisme - Rococo Holocaust) -This year's fav is a fairly recent update.
2011:  Opeth - Heritage (Korekyojinn - Tundra)
2012: Cthulu Rise - 42 (Motorpsycho - The Death Defying Unicorn)
2013: Pryapisme - Hyperblast Supercollider (Haken - The Mountain) 
2014: Poil - Brossaklit (Happy Family - Minimal Gods) -This year was particularly deep IMHO
2015: ni - Les Insurgés de Romilly (Watchtower - Concepts of Math: Book One)
2016: Seven Impale - Contropasso (Lovely Little Girls - Glistening Vivid Splash)
2017: Squintaloo - Über Bord! (Pryapisme - Diabolicus Felinae Pandemonium)
2018: Keor - Petrichor (Voivod - The Wake) - Another insanely deep year. I voted for "All Traps on Earth" at the time. But I found these other 2 stuck more with me.
2019: Mimedyr - Mínym (Helium Horsefly - Hallowed)
2020: Wyxz - Odyx (JG Thirlwell & Simon Steensland - Oscillospira)

It's a good sign if Psycho does know the bands you list, it means they're from the last 30 years of music.

Are you serious? I didn't know this album, so I'm listening to it right now. Sure, it's better than their first two albums, but best album of the year it is not!! (for me, at least) And it is not prog!

In the same vein (and the same year), I much prefer Massive Attack's Heligoland. Still not prog, but I love the overall atmosphere.

Anyway, thanks for the discovery. Wink

I do prefer the topics commonly when it comes to music that aren't just about Prog as so many of my favourites are not Prog, and even a lot of what I like and is in PA is not what a Prog purist would want to acknowledge as Prog. Of course there is plenty of room for both, but I see so many Prog list type topics being revived rather than those in General Music Discussions -- nothing wrong with that, but I just am not big on that Prog/ non-Prog divide, which is nebulous/ amorphous anyway. Very fuzzy, artificial and subjective boundaries.

Most of what I like that is classified Prog here might well generally be labelled something other than Prog first by audiences outside of PA. And most of what I like of recent/ modern music is not in PA. I've long thought that if a band call itself Prog it is not so likely to be for me. But I like a lot of Prog umbrella music. From the last decade included in PA, I guess Swans and Anna von Hausswolff have particularly prominent places in my heart, and Susanne Sundfør is great as is the music of the past by Klaus Morlock and Kosmischer Laufer.

Here I include one album per artist and all are included in PA, David Bowie is in Prog Related, but Blackstar is in my progressive rockiverse. I was going to have a Chelsea Wolfe album who is mostly approved for Crossover, although I know that is not a traditional kind of Prog act and could be controversial, but instead I will stick with ones in PA. I mostly feel the need to care about the Prog boundaries for various site business. Good thing we can discuss all types of music at PA. :)

2019: Cisnienie - JazzArt Underground
2018: Klaus Morlock - The Three Faces of Janice
2017: Yolk - Solar
2016: David Bowie - Blackstar
2015: Anna von Hausswolff - The Miraculous
2014: Swans - To Be Kind
2013: Kosmischer Läufer - Volume One
2012: Susanne Sundfør - The Silicone Veil
2011: North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon
2010: Univers Zero - Clivages
