I feel like I need to hear a lot more prog from any of these years in particular to have a top ten that isn't just "the tennish prog albums I've heard from this year."

That said, A Night At The Opera, while perhaps not strictly prog, is my favorite album of all time and it came out this year.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
