1994...Hmmm...an interesting collection of the top 25 PA rated albums to say the least.  Prog Metal was the most common represented genre with 6 albums.  We have a Flowermouth, a Flower King and a lot of music from the frozen North.  The final album from the trio of Gilmour, Mason, and Wright (at least until 20 years later) along with the final album Frank Zappa was working on when the music world lost one of it's greatest and most versatile composers.

Once again, these are the top 25 PA ranked albums with at least 70 ratings presented in order of their QWR scores highest to lowest.

Vote for your favourite 1994 prog album!

Brave, closely followed by The Division Bell and Il Trono dei Ricordi.

Civilization Phaze III is just awesome. Zappa really managed to pull off one final big one with that album.

Awake, easily my favorite Dream Theater album.

Toss-up between the Ozrics and Fates Warning for me, but I'll go with the latter.

Of these, it's Marillion, but I prefer a few others (Kingston Wall, and I think The Wilde Flowers' album was released this year, even though it was recorded a few decades earlier).

Yep. That's what I voted for but I could have gone with NIN I guess.

Brave for me, just ahead of Awake, Epilog and Psychadelicatessan.

Zappa gets my vote...Civilization is an awesome work that takes some dedicated listening to really get your head around...once you get there it's amazing Wink

Agree with everyone who said Civilization Phaze III so far.  Pretty much mirrors my feelings towards it.  It gets better with age.

Brave is when my love for Marillion started to die, Division Bells has High Hopes inside and to me this qualifies it as best album of 1994

Yep that's a great album so I feel a bit guilty about voting for Oldfield's Songs Of Distant Earth which is also a bit special. I have a nagging feeling that Par Lindh made a couple of albums that were even better though ( Veni Vidi Vici and Mundus Incompertus) while Oldfield never achieved another gem like Songs Of Distant Earth.

I also like Awake and Epilog on the list but not as much as the 2 above.

Push & Profit for me. If Discipline had broken up after this and not recorded Unfolded or Shattered, it probably would be viewed as a classic.

Moonshine.  Collage's best album and a great representation of high quality neo-prog.
