you had my scurrying around for the latest Tangent release , I loved Proxy their last album. Hopefully more to come. I guess you meant TFK?

Yes the list is just a list and nothing any more special than any other list that you , I or anyone else can put together.

Good suggestion.  I was unable to hear that one but will be revisiting it since they are a favorite band.  For some reason, I had a hard time getting to more of the RPI bands and didn't have enough time to dig really deep if they weren't easily accessible to stream or purchase.

That one didn't make my top 20, but to me it seemed like a solid 4-star album. It's a pretty good comeback for a group that hasn't released a new studio album since the 1990s. A couple of songs had a bit of Gentle Giant vibe to them.

No one said the list was anything special, as I said it is all my own opinion.  I was just trying to show that there was a lot of great music out released in 2019.  No reason to get personal about it.
 
And one more thing.  You say its nothing any more special than any other list anyone else can put together.  The thing that is wrong with that statement is that no one else has put one together, especially one that encompasses different styles of music.  That is one major difference.  This was a work that took me the entire year to finish and I listened to and became familiar with every one of these releases.  So, no, not anyone can put a list like this together.
 
No one is stopping anyone else from putting a different list together.  But I challenge you to have as much variety and as many titles and artists as this one that was accumulated during the entire year, and to have heard every one of them.  Go ahead.  I'll wait.  But I won't hold my breath.

I'm a jerk that's been here since 2004 LOL

BTW when did I get personal about it. People are so precious about their opinions and their life work or whatever. I mean leave if you want , don't leave , do whatever but at the end of the day I just spout my mouth off and it means nothing or everything or does anyone really care at the end of the day...

A lot of time was spent on this list. It is better than any other list anyone has put together on PA so it is special and it matters. When can we see your best of 2019 list? I posted a top five of 2019 topic, no where close to TCat's effort, but if nothing matters why discuss anything at all?

mine is still in progress but here it is

1. Steve Hackett - At The Edge Of Light
2. IQ - Resistance
3. The Mute Gods - Atheists and Believers
4. Thieves Kitchen - Genius Loci
5. Opeth - In Cauda Venenum
6. Elephant9 - Psychedelic Backfire I
7. Iamthemorning - The Bell
8. Bent Knee - You Know What They Mean
9. IZZ - Don't Panic
10. Big Big Train - Grand Tour  
11. Thank You Scientist - Terraformer
12. Elephant9 with Reine Fiske - Psychedelic Backfire II
13. Magic Pie - Fragments Of The 5th Element
14. In Continuum - Acceleration Theory Part One: Alien A

I will add the latest Eloy album probably at Number 5 . I only heard it for the first time yesterday but I love it.
I'm still mulling over a bunch of albums that I can't decide on. I don't like the Lost Crowns album which kind of annoys me a bit as many seem to rate it very highly.

It wasn't my intention to be disrespectful to TC and if I was then I apologise. We all love prog but I do get frustrated when I see great long lists posted with little in the way of annotations or comments. This leaves me a little cold and also in my view creating a thread called The Best Albums Of 2019 is opening a dialogue and should expect to be challenged. Its like saying this is the world according to me. Clearly me and TC have different tastes and ideas about great music but that's what makes the forum so interesting and addictive.

Aye, proxy is 2018 albeit late 2018, so it seemed to me it was a 2019 release...the TFK release is quality aye it is...

Another susceptible dude who'll start a thread saying that he's leaving for good then come back in two months?

or just like this guy who keeps whining ad nauseam that the people here are so f**king boring nowadays compared to the real, tough folks who were hanging around during the early days of the site...and always return.

Come on.

As I said, these are both 4 and 5 star reviews, many of them aren't in my top 20 list because they had to at least be 5 stars to be on that list and also have strong staying power.  Many people have said that 2019 wasn't a big year for prog, but, for someone who reviewed a lot of albums, I still only heard about 30 - 40 % of the albums released.  That's how big of a year it was. 
 
This list was to help show which albums I felt were the best at least from the ones I've heard.  I was hoping others would feel free to list their own albums, but unfortunately, people took the title of the thread the wrong way and decided to complain that it didn't agree with their own tastes.  I'll take the blame for that in mis-naming the thread. 
 
So now that that is cleared up, feel free to post your own top 20, and if you have a hard time coming up with 20, then maybe the ones that I mentioned will give you some guidance.  And maybe they won't.  But, please add some of your own Top 20 lists. 
 
Here's mine, at least for the time being, originally posted from the Collaborators Album of the Year Top 20 lists.
1. Consider the Source - You Are Literally a Metaphor
2. The Pneumatic Transit - Cordae Tendineae
3. Cheeto's Magazine - Amazingous
4. The Mercury Tree - Spidermilk
5. Bent Knee - You Know What They Mean
6. Fly Pan Am - C'est ça
7. Devin Townsend - Empath
8. Jambinai - ONDE
9. Emmett Elvin - The End of Music
10. Monkey3 - Sphere
11. Thank You Scientist - Terraforma
12. Lost Crowns - Every Night Something Happens
13. Helium Horsefly - Hollowed
14. A Formal Horse - Here Comes a Man from the Council with a Flamethrower
15. Izz - Don't Panic
16. Mono - Nowhere Now Here
17. On the Raw - Climbing the Air
18. Kayo Dot - Blasphemy
19. Black Bombaim - Black Bombaim with Jonathan Saldanha, Luís Fernandes & Pedro Augusto
20. Motorpsycho - The Crucible
 
Runners up:
21. Opeth - In Cauda Venenum
22. Karfagen - Echoes from Within Dragon Island
23. Karakorum - Fairytales and Fables
24. Dizzy Mystics - Wanderlust
25. The Wrong Object - Into the Herd
26. Hammock - Silencia
27. Pyramidial - Pyramidial
28. Umpfel - As the Waters Cover the Sea

No worries.  I got a little defensive about the list which was only here to help others that didn't have the time to go through the many releases, and thank you for posting your list.  I take the blame for misnaming the thread, but I was hoping others would post their own "Best of" lists in this thread.  Hopefully people will feel free to do so.

And to be fair..although I had never heard your number one choice...I just utubed them and was considerably impressed with a live performance...interesting three piece and another band to add to my list of stuff to explore...reminded me of liquid tension experiment...

My Top 110 of 2019. I would say this ranges from 5 stars down to about 3.5 stars. The 4.5 cutoff starts at #26. The 4.0 cutoff at #81. My tastes lean more towards symphonic prog, but there are some weird ones in here too. Le Grand Sbam's Vaisseau Monde is probably the most interesting album I heard this year. If it hadn't lost a little steam on the last two tracks, it would have been my #1 pick, but nonetheless is a solid 5 star album.

Other noteworthy comments:
Solaris: best album since Marsbéli Krónikák
IZZ: probably the best album of their career; loved the tribute to Jackie Robinson on 42
RPWL: I've always enjoyed this group, but would never have included them in a top 20 until now.
Quantum Fantay: following in the footsteps of the Ozrics, and maybe a bit better at this point.
Conqueror: loved the increased use of sax and flute; Simona Rigano still whips out some nice key solos
The Mercury Tree: interesting usage of microtonal tuning; lots of interesting sounds on this one; kind of has an IZZ vibe in places.
Fervent Send: interesting mix of old and newer KC influences, maybe a bit heavier.
IQ: would've made my top 10 if they had just released disc 2 alone

1. Solaris - Nostradamus 2.0: Returnity
2. Quantum Fantay - Yemaya Orisha
3. IZZ - Don't Panic
4. Conqueror - In Orbita
5. Czyszy - Epic May

2019 was a magnificent year in Prog, IMO. 

Let me explain:

The number of prog releases reduced compared to the previous at least 5 year, but relatively the number of top albums increased, as less than every 10th album was no less than GREAT, IMO!!

I'm not going to reveal the entire list, but this is a surprise in my top 5: a DANISH release Shocked
