A lot of people will probably have an easier time from here on considering the onset of the symphonic prog revival around this time, but since I don't personally care too much for symphonic bands of that era I am still a bit in the dark. Hence, Hybris, which I suspect will top the lists of many respondents here, is not on my list at all simply because I am not familiar enough with it.

1. Nels Cline Trio - Silencer
2. Brand X - X-Communication
3. Ruins - Burning Stone
4. Tenko - At The Top Of Mt. Brocken
5. Il Berlione - Il Berlione
6. Cardiacs - Heaven Born And Ever Bright
7. Miles Davis - Doo-Bop
8. Naked City - Grand Guignol
9. Allan Holdsworth - Wardenclyffe Tower
10. Brian Eno - Nerve Net

Yes, I really love that Landmarq album; a pity Damian Wilson didn't stick with the band, his voice makes it very special. I suppose you know the Casino album? If not, you should really check it out - I'm sure you'll like it (and if you do know it, why is it not in your top ten? Wink).
Re Ange, not their best, but I still like it (but if I had to trim my list to ten, this one would probably not make it).

Stunningly strong top 5 and a number of further good ones - Mike Oldfield, Anglagard, and Roger Waters could've been listed in thinner years, and the PT debut wasn't that bad either, was it? Will remove Tori Amos from the 1991 list as it was misdated there.

Fred Frith & Francois-Michel Pesenti - Helter Skelter
Art Zoyd - Marathonnerre I (Part II belongs to the top 10, too, but not listed to make space)
Kong - Phlegm
Cardiacs - Heaven Born And Ever Bright
After Crying - Megalazottak és Megszomoritottak
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
Echolyn - Suffocating the Bloom
The Sea Nymphs - The Sea Nymphs
Brian Eno - Nerve Net
John Zorn - Elegy

Not on PA but should be here:
The Tear Garden - The Last Man to Fly
Stein - Steinzeit

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

After 20 solid years, 1992 is the year my collection starts growing a little thin. I could only come up with two, but they are both among the best these artists ever released:

1) E.L.P.: Black Moon
2) Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells II

Great album, but it's archival, so I don't count it as a 1992 album.

My top Prog list for this year is like Shadowyzard top lists consisting only of three albums:
Landberk (S) - Rigtigt Äkta
Psychotic Waltz (USA) - Into the Everflow
Änglargård (S) - Hybris

Then, not considered as Prog by me, but I think nevetherless worth to mentioning here:
Alice in Chains (USA) - Dirt
Babes in Toyland (USA) - Fontanelle
Garbarek & Khan (N, Pakistan) - Ragas and Sagas
