 Topic: A 2006 - 2010 Albums Poll
Posted: March 31 2015 at 04:05 |
|
20 albums of this period, there are plenty more, maybe for another poll if this one gets some votes and comments. Do use the "other" option (only) if you DON'T like these choices.

Even if it were, Angherr Shisspa was released in 2005.
My vote goes to Porcupine Tree just above David Gilmour. My favourite album of the period: Part the Second - Maudlin of the Well.

Radiohead > Porcupine Tree > Gilmour
I could list a couple of dozen Avant/Zeuhl album I'd rate ahead of any of these but what the heck.

Voted "other". Pure Reason Revolution's 2006 debut The Dark Third remains the single best album I've heard this century so far.

My fave out of this lot is Steve Wilson's debut. I think it's his best release as a solo artist. He managed to mix his love of post-punk and the dark romanticism of the 80s with his affinity for prog rock in a way that ended up sounding wholly original imo. Love that one.
As for the other option (which I'm refraining from using), I'll just mention the first ones that spring to mind:
Grails - Burning Off Impurities Invisible Opera Company Of Tibet - UFO Planante Dungen - 4 Electric Orange - Morbus The Future Kings Of England - The Fate Of Old Mother Orvis Espers - ll Alcest - Écailles de Lune Gregor Samsa - 55:12 Vespero - By The Waters Of Tomorrow Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon Diagonal - s/t Gösta Berlings Saga - Tid Ar Ljud ZU - Carboniferous Lye By Mistake - Fea Jur Syrinx - Qualia Magyar Posse - Random Avenger One Shot - Dark Shot The Box - D'Après Le Horla De Maupassant

I really like that one (especially the Floyd ode 'The Bright Ambassadors Of Morning'), but it is the subsequent Amor Vincit Omnia that takes the cake for me. Funny, because most of the prog community absolutely hated that one because of the electronic pop influences the group had incorporated into their sound. To me though, it's one of a few modern releases that successfully pairs prog with cutting edge electro-pop.

Ditto  . Out of the albums included in this list that I have heard, I'd pick Radiohead. Here are some of my favourite releases from that period: Afroskull - To Obscurity and Beyond Miriodor - Avanti! Forgas Band Phenomena - L'Axe du Fou Zevious - After the Air Raid Cheer-Accident - Fear Draws Misfortune Frogg Cafe - Bateless Edge Edit: David, good call on Dungen, Phideaux, Espers and the mighty Gösta Berlings Saga (though I'd also pick their second, Detta Här Hänt)

FOABP has really grown on me since it was first released, so much so that I genuinely enjoy it now....but I do prefer the accompanying EP Nil Recurring to it. Gotta love 'What Happens Now?'
