Great list. I honestly didn't expect Grayceon to do 'that' good, but I guess they deserved it. I like how Sieges Even got up there since there aren't many fans around here, but I did think Paramount was a little weak.

Of course it's just a favourite albums list (something I've mentioned in various threads) and not a "best" list, but I hoped that more of my favourites would fare well (Comicopera was the only one of my list that did well). I've actually mentioned other ways to choose an albums list in the future that employs various criteria -- vote on artistic merits/ technical merits/ progressiveness -- and perhaps if the winning bands/ labels would agree, we could stream the top five albums at the site -- or more realistically just use samples as a short-list for collabs as getting such agreement would be difficult -- and then hold a further vote on those once every voter has listened to the top five. Or perhaps we could only mention one album per category and must have heard x number of albums to be eligible to vote. A favourite album of 2007 from each category that has candidates would be a neat idea to do, as well as a favourite live album etc. |

No Nemo? :/
I thought their album far surpassed the mediocre (at best) (in my opinion) albums put out by Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Rush, Anekdoten, Phideaux, Flower Kings, Riverside and The New Trolls I personally think the new Rush album should be disqualified from this list for having no prog... (Rush being my favorite band, by the way). Edited by KeleCableII - January 25 2008 at 17:00 |

^ give that man a cigar.... off with Rush's head... a non prog or borderline at best album topping a collaborator list of great prog albums from the year tisk tisk...
*grabs a paperbag and places over head* can we make this the PR album list of 2007. Curious as to how many SC's and above (Tony excluded of course hahah) put Rush on their lists. Time to do a bit of research. |

I think the Satellite album came too late in the year Stoney. Gazpacho's "Night" was given honourable mentions, but did not actually feature in any of the collaborators' top 5s.

Iiiiii KNOW! What do you mean mate?? That album is brilliant! Certianly a lot harder than their other stuff, and that Steven sure is EMO some times, but the musician ship is fanTAStic!! (I said that like David Tenant Dr Who) And that track Anethnitize....brilliance.

It's good to see Ulver and SGM getting up there... I expected Devin Townsend to do a little better.
I was disappointed with "Fear of a Blank Planet" (like many others), although it's certainly no surprise that it is number 1...

I am a huge Porcupine Tree fan (seen them 3 times and own all there albums). Wilson needs to get away from the cheesy lyrics about kids and Xbox? His older stuff even on Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun has excellent lyrics. Now, like Nine Inch Nails, he is going after "society". I cant listen to the first song on the album or the last, its just too cheesy. Way Out Here and My Ashes are good songs, but its definately not the best album of 2007. In Rainbows by Radiohead is a much better album! Great lyrics, great structure, great mood etc. I will continue to by PT stuff, but I hope he gets his act together. |

Also, Tony Levin's solo album as well as Oceansize's new album are much better than FOABP (IMP!)

Snakes & Arrows wasn't very good and neither was Fear Of A Blank Planet, if CDs like these can be so highly regarded 2007 must have really sucked.

It wasn't a favourite year of mine, either. Methinks 2008 will blow it away

I recall that being said about 2007 with respect to 2006.
Anyway, as for the list...surprised about Grayceon...I really had no idea that was so well liked (being few people talk about them in the threads about them). Also, good to see Wyatt up there...certainly deserves it.
Guess I should buy Neal's new album afterall.
Sad to see PT at the top again. Deadwing I could see (not exactly sure what else came out that year anyway) but FOABP is certainly not as good/progressive as the rest of their discog or many of the other releases this year (IMHO of course). And yes...I am a fan of the band.
Maybe these collabs with get it right one day...
