 Topic: Top 20 1990-2014 Prog AlbumsPosted: July 26 2015 at 11:16 |

Pretty simple thread. But lets give everyone (including me) a chance to update a reasonable list for modern prog favorites.
Inspired by the Top 50 Prog Albums Thread that everyone had so many problems with in the first place, so go ahead and give your own list for it. I'll post mine later. Woooo

When I posted my list in the other thread, it was difficult to get it down to 50, I think 20 would be impossible.

I thought I would have trouble finding 20; instead I had to limit it to 45 by separating out prog folk!
Every one that I posted is at least a 4 star album to me, and not all 4 star albums were included. I love prog at the cellular level; most of what I like would be on the softer melodic side, although I know everyone has different ideas on what that means.
