On a 90s review kick. 

After noticing that PA's top 25 from the 1990s doesn't come close to matching my own list of favorite prog albums from the decade I was wondering if these 25 albums are really everybody else's favorites.

Would any of these albums be on your own personal Top 25 for the 1990s?

Here we have a great list. Of all these I easily can choose several. But I can primarily highlight: Änglagård - Hybris, Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory, Opeth - Still Life, Discipline - Unfolded Like Staircase, Dream Theater - Awake, Ayreon - Into The Electric Castle and Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade Of Gray. So, these are my votes.

Oh that list the ones that make my 90's top 25 are:-

Cardiacs - Sing To God
Hoyry-Kone - Huono Partuni
Thinking Plague - In Extremis
Anglagard - Hybris

Sing To God is top 25 all-time for me.

Very tough decision between Death Human, Symphony X Divine Wings of Tragedy, and Opeth Still Life, and to a lesser degree Ayreon Into the Electric Castle.

I went went with DWoT... it's hard to beat the SX LOL

But my absolute favorite prog album of the 90s would be Neurosis Through Silver in Blood.

I love Art Zoyd's Häxan (and Art Zoyd's Faust not in the list is another fave). Cardiacs' Sing to God has been a favourite, but is now not one I often wish to return -- "Dirty Boy" in particular will ever have a special place in my heart. I do love the 180 G's cover album of it called Singin' to God. I also like Höyry-Kone's Huono Parturi very much, and I love the earlier HC album maybe even more, I also like that Present album. All of those might well make my top 50 albums in PA. Will vote for the Art Zoyd and Cardiacs as my two as thgose have both been so very important to me (I do tend to prefer certain earlier Cardiacs releases, however, like On Land and In the Sea).
Just a fanboy passin' through.

Art Zoyd > Cardacs > Thinking Plague
No. 4 and 5 probably Opeth and Present, but these wouldn't make my Top 25.

Hybris and Slow Dance would be in my top 10, but none of the others. The other 8 would be:
Rajaz - Camel
Spirit of Autumn Past - Mostly Autumn
Ever and Subterranea - IQ
The Visitor and Songs From the Lion's Cage - Arena
The Masquerade Overture - Pendragon
The Book of Kells - Iona

Anthony Phillips. Slow Dance is a true master piece, often overlooked.

Agreed! Another incredible album that I would have never discovered were it not for ProgArchives!

Hybris, Slow Dance, The Lost Trident Sessions, in no particular order.

All 3 Death albums are killer from here, essential and legendary albums followed by Symphony X, Dream Theater - Images and the excellent Edge of Sanity Crimson
