Just pick a year (see the image below). You can also change the parameters on the right.

^ I don't think that's what the OP is asking.
 
^^ No, I'm not aware of any way to browse the archives by year.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I presume he is asking to filter by year, the same way you can by PA genre or country. It’s something I’ve wanted to do, too, at times - but I have no idea if it can be done (and if it can be, how it can be done).

You can use the top 100 list, but that certainly doesn’t give a full picture.

I think what the OP is looking for is a way to find the albums that were released in a chosen year (or years).

Because there's Art Rock which was later split into Eclectic, Crossover and Heavy Prog. Same goes for Prog Metal.

If I remember right, I did some lurking for a while, so I think I discovered PA in 2005.
