Simple question, whats your favourite? For me the standouts this year have been Kayo Dot, Alcest, Ihsahn and Red Sparows, with my vote going to KD. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I've only listened to one album from this year so far-- The Black Rainbow by Coheed and Cambria, but I definitely intend to get Coyote. -------------

I really enjoy Clivages, so it's my pick. The Kayo Dot album would be my second of the listed albums, I think, while Xing Sa's album Creation de l'Univers would probably be my first choice if it was present. It's a wonderful Zeuhl/fusion album.

| I've only heard a few albums from this year, but my favourite remains the first 2010 album I heard, which is Univers Zero's Clivages. I think it's a very good album by a very good group. I like Coyote too. |

Creation de l'Univers is certainly an album for me to get. |

I'm yet to hear Coyote, but so far my favorite is Ecailles De Lune. Beautiful album, I give it 4.5 stars. -------------

Karnataka - The Gathering Light Also the new Vanden Plas is very good! (not in the list) ------------- To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica) |

 I must say, some artists (or their labels) are trying very hard this year to make it almost impossible for me to get to listen to their music. Well, I guess arrogance begets ignorance. ------------- https://tagyourmusic.org/users/Mike" rel="nofollow - https://tagyourmusic.org/users/Mike |

| This year started very good with my two favourite albums of 2010 being released in early 2010, but nothing as interesting came since then. I would rate One-Armed Bandit and Clivages with ***** (though I might rate them 9/10 on a decimal scale) and give **** to Coyote and Heavy Metal Fruit, which I enjoy. Nothing except for Alcest's album has attracted my attention so far, I'll try that. |

It's a bit unfair to start this poll early when we've yet to wait 10 more days for Demians album "Mute" to be released, although the leak is available. Still, my vote goes to it since it goes in many directions and work great for me. 2nd place goes for Anathema's "We're Here Because We're Here", while Ihsahn and Myrath fights for 3rd place although I haven't digested it all yet. |

Yeah, that's pretty good. I've only really heard Pain of Salvation out of these. It's a pain to try to keep up on 2010 albums when I'm trying to get into other genres. Especially when prog is so spotty. Any given album that's highly regarded I'm likely to be indifferent to. I might try Karnataka, though. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

I'm pretty selective about what I buy these days, especially as I have a young family to support on a limited public sector salary, so I only have one album off the list, The Pineapple Thief, which I have enjoyed a lot. I do intend to get the Karnataka LP soon, but I can't really vote. Other 2010 purchases for me are Hackett's new album, which is incredible, The Reasoning, a solid 4 star work, Asia's new one, and Gabriel's Scratch my Back, which I love. ------------- Enhance your life.

If you're into some heavier stuff, then I think the new Vanden Plas album (the Seraphic clockwork) is the best album so far. If live recordings/DVD's are allowed then Anesthetize by Porcupine Tree is really top notch! ------------- BDTF - Belgian Dream Theater Fan |

So far this year, I've mostly spent my money investigating jazz fusion from the 70's as well as old school death metal. I've neglected a lot of newer releases from bands I'm not familiar with, so I only have the new Pain of Salvation and Spock's Beard from this list. I will get some more 2010 albums in the future.  -------------

Haven't heard too many off this list, but of the ones I have I like Jaga's and UZ's the most. Didn't realize that Spock Beard's album was out alright...certainly will look into buying that one soon.
Another I like alot is Negura Bunget's new album. And Frogg Cafe just released their new one, which I have been anticipating for about a year now. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

My favorites of 2010 so far: 1. Spock's Beard- X 2. Mars Hollow- Mars Hollow 3. Unitopia- Artificial 4. Kaipa- In The Wake of Evolution 5. Pain of Salvation- Road Salt One It's funny, this year I haven't gotten many new albums, but all the ones I've gotten have been fantastic (with the possible exception of The Black Rainbow by Coheed and Cambria, which just hasn't grown on me yet). Spock's Beard, X, is by far the best for me. It surprised me how good it was; it is definitely the best Spock's album since Neal left, and maybe even better than some Neal fronted albums (which I can't believe I'm saying since I'm such a huge Neal Morse fanboy). I just feel the new Spock's Beard have finally found their sound and it's a good sound with just the right hint of their roots with Neal and a newer, harder edge that makes them sound more modern and unique. ------------- Please check out my Progressive Music Blog: http://leviathanprog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - The Leviathan . |

For shame. Blackjazz is in my top 3.   My favorite album of the year is not a prog album actually. So far, I'd probably go with the Monitor by Titus Andronicus. I would recommend them to anyone who likes the thought of The Decemberists doing a punk-ish album. *Hopes name-dropping gets more people to check them out.* I voted other therefore, but if I had to make a short list so far... 1. The Monitor - Titus Andronicus 2. Road Salt One - Pain of Salvation (It's the first PoS album that's excited me as much as Entropia.) 3. Blackjazz - Shining 4. Congratulations - MGMT 5. Year of the Black Rainbow - Coheed and Cambria Any further down the list makes my brain hurt. -------------

definitely the iem box set, but since all the music there is 9-14 years old i guess it doesn't count. other favourites so far: pineapple thief, anathema and porcupine tree "anesthetize". kscope scores a hat-trick. |
