So this is a 2019 list of albums which includes quite a few favourite albums of mine, both Prog and non-Prog -- and Prog related/adjacent/tangential... -- and it includes various albums I have not heard. Please vote for an album you like (I have NOT done multiple votes) and mention any others you like if you wish to both on and off this list. I would expect IQ's to get the most votes at PA, but I don't think of these polls as contests with winners and losers. Every album I like here is a winner in my book! lol Big Big Train - Grand Tour black midi - Schlagenheim Ciśnienie - JazzArt Underground The Comet Is Coming - Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery Cult of Luna - A Dawn to Fear De Lorians - De Lorians Klone - Le Grand Voyage Lana Del Rey - Norman F*cking Rockwell Duster - Duster IQ - Resistance Izz - Don't Panic King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Infest the Rats Nest Lingua Ignota - Caligula Motorpsycho - The Crucible The Neal Morse Band - The Great Adventure Angel Olsen - All Mirrors Opeth - In Cauda Venenum Rascal Reporters - Redux, Vol. 1 Secret Chiefs 3 - Malkhut Swans - leaving meaning. Uboa - The Origin of My Depression Vanishing Twin - The Age of Immunology Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising Wilderun - Veil of Imagination Yamai - Le Silo |

| I do like the Swans, The Comet Is Coming, Lingua Ignota, Vanishing Twin albums and some more, but the Cisnienie album eats them all for breakfast. Sometimes I vote for such underdog albums because nobody else does, but this one is insanely good. |

2019 seems so long ago to me. Pre-pandemic times. I think I had heard about a third of the releases listed. For whatever reason, i had not listened to the Secret Chiefs 3 release. Voted for Motorpsycho. A few other albums that were among my favorites, last one not on PA: The Tea Club - If/When Jambinai - Onda Teeth of the Sea - Wraith Fat White Family - Serf's Up Edit to add a few more on PA: Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band - Nightmare Forever Monkey3 - Sphere Helium Horse Fly - Hollowed Bent Knee - You Know What They Mean Sonar & David Torn - Tranceportatation Vol. 1 Oh Sees - Face Stabber |

Forgot that one. Love it. Among the finest retro prog albums that I know of. So warm and atmospheric. It's got that special pastoral feel or sound to it (missing in a lot of seemingly similar retro prog) that originally made me fall in love with the sound of classic Prog. Easily in my top ten-fifteen and surely among my ten most listened to albums from this amazing year in music.
I might as well make a top twenty out of it and add another favorite four 4-star albums of the year I also forgot: Maurice Louca - إلفنتين Elephantine Little Simz - GREY AreaJorja Chalmers - Human Again Resavoir - Resavoir |

I voted IQ, because I know it best on this list. But it’s a deeply disappointing album for me, the weakest the band have ever released. Some great albums from that year though: Cellar Darling - The Spell Devin Townsend - Empath Avantasia - Moonglow ------------- Heaven is waiting but waiting is Hell |

Thanks for all of your lists and responses. Really happy when people do share what they appreciate outside of the given lists, as well as sharing what they know and appreciate on the given lists as well. I have discovered much music over the years here by people mentioning other choices. Greg Foat was mentioned, and I will look into him more (love what I have heard from him), and will look into various others. I should check out that Morglbl; a band I discovered and then suggested to PA long ago (I only liked to suggest that which I appreciated). Like with George, 2019 does seem a long (and different) time ago, and I couldn't remember much of what I liked then from the year, nor did I look it up. Most of what I listed that I like I got to know more recently. Cisnienie was one of my favourite discoveries that I am pleased to have suggested for PA inclusion and was most excited about being added. Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising is the one I have listened to the most, partially because Weyes Blood is something my wife also loves. I love various of her albums, but And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow has received the most spins. Lingua Ignota was a great discovery for me thanks to its suggestion thread in this forum. Caligula Rising may be harder listening than Sinner Get Ready, but I hugely appreciate both albums. black midi is a band I grew to love, although I have turned to the later albums more. I think I discovered The Comet Is Coming through the Interactive Polls; really like this album. Secret Chiefs 3 is a favourite of mine, and I got to know this more thanks to some forum conversation. Swans is of course a band I have often talked about over the last few years, and I enjoy all of it albums from Children of God up. Motorspsycho I have come to appreciate much more recently. Uboa is a favourite of mine. Duster and Angel Olsen were recent discoveries of mine. And the other one I really like is Vanishing Twin's The Age of Immunology. I love Stereolab, Broadcast, Komeda, Pram...., and this is very much music of that ilk. If one likes Stereoloab and/or Broadcast, then I would think this would appeal. De Lorians was one I know in 2019 at least. As for most of the rest, the options were chosen by searching charts and used even if the music is outside my wheelhouse/ interests. And I love various King Gizz albums, but I have not yet listened to the one in this list in full. Not sure how to vote, but I feel like going Lingua Ignota right now (I know not all that know it here appreciate it as much as me -- it is a tortured output). |

| ^Knowing your current tastes, the Morglbl won't be for you, Greg. But, Thieves' Kitchen may. Have you heard any of their albums? They have some National Health vibes. I'm surprised they aren't more popular on PA. |
Posted By: Logan

| ^ MY tastes often will adapt and change depending upon what I'm feeding it, I find. I'm quite impressionable and malleable, as long as the music can somehow resonate with personality traits often (I'm a reserved person). I have heard various tracks from Thieves' Kitchen that I enjoyed. Just listened to music from Genius Loci ("Eilmer") and yes, strong National Health vibes. I like it; thanks, Will. :) |

From these I would single out Ciśnienie, The Comet is Coming and Vanishing Twin. Since the latter has no vote yet I'll give mine to The Age of Immunology. Some other albums from 2019 that I like a lot: On PA: - Yôkaï - s/t - Stephan Thelen - Fractal Guitar - Sonar & David Torn - Tranceportatation Vol. 1 Not on PA: - Nits - Knot - Rozi Plain - What A Boost - De Staat - Bubble Gum
Nice to see this one mentioned; great album, indeed. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Only a bit more than half of the list for the poll are personal likes. That list is a combination of ones I like and one found in the charts that I know of (nice to hopefully reach people who commonly don't gravitate to the kind of music I tend to go for by listing ones outside my wheelhouse). I culled the list from a longer one. I certainly had chosen Fly Pan Am for it initially. From your three choices from the list I prepared, only one of those is in the poll that I really like, which is black midi - Schlagenheim. My top three from your list might be: Fly Pan Am - C'est ça black midi - Schlagenheim Ex Canix - Shaman I've largely forgotten what I was listening to in 2019. It is a year that largely seems forgotten by me. |

My best 2019 concerts Vezhlivy Otkaz - New York - bucket list band for a decade, never thought I'd get to see them, stunningly good King Crimson - Boston - not as good as any of their recent tours, still stellar Nick Mason - Boston - really excellent to see all the old Floyd material with real sense of joy and a high energy packed venue The Comet Is Coming - Big Ears Knoxville & Boston - high energy modern electro jazz funk featuring Shabaka Hutchings on sax Koenjihyakkei - RIO Lyon - another bucket list band, high energy Japanese Zeuhl heavy and bonkers all the time This Is Not This Heat - Big Ears Knoxville - Experimental Rock one of the highlights of the festival Nik Bartsch Ronin - Big Ears Knoxville - Swiss minimalist modern zen groove jazz PoiL - RIO Lyon - punky avant rock - tiny club all standing loads of fun Schnellertollermeier - RIO Lyon - Swiss brutal minimalist jazz, crushingly good. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

I find with the last 2 IQ albums that I like the second disc much more that the first. Perhaps IQ are overeaching a tad as it doesn't get any better than Frequency. Massive BBT fan but The Grand Tour never quite did it for me compared to Folklore or English Electric (Pts 1 and 2) That Izz album gets better every time I hear it. A masterpiece. I may have voted for Thieves' Kitchen Genius Loci if that had been included.
