    Posted: January 19 2012 at 02:39
I haven't heard many albums from 2009 either, but these ones form a decent top five, I think:
 
1. Part the Second - Maudlin of the Well
2. Freak - Alejandro Matos
3. Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré - Magma
4. The Hazards of Love - Decemberists
5. The Underfall Yard - Big Big Train

It's heartening to see a list that isn't made up of commercially-successful acts. This is where Prog Archives leaves the mainstream mags for dead.

"metal is still very very present in prog... without those bands that mix metal and progressive rock we would discuss only 60s 70s and maybe 80s... good or bad i dont know"
I believe it's very good for the genre but would like to see more diversity as well.

Wow, I'm surprised Dream Theater even made it into the top 50, with all the bad press it was getting from the prog fans...

The Beardfish album should've been higher imo, that one was brilliant and unlike anything I'd heard before.

Wish it wasn't so damn expensive though.  Ouch


You can get it on iTunes for $10.99 Thumbs Up
$11 for an mp3, you should be able to get the CD for that!
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Oh look, someone has a different opinion. Though it sounds like someone has a little case of elitism to me...

I quite like the list.

Can someone link me to previous lists? I can't find them.

Sorry to interrupt your discussion, but I wonder why very few members other than members than us Collabs ( have contributed to this thread so far. I thought posting it here was meant as a talking point, but probably I was wrong.

I didn't even notice this was here until today (2.5 months later). It didn't seem well advertised although I can't explain how I missed it for so long when I do visit this board somewhat frequently. I do tend to just ignore the mess of pinned topics though. *shrug*

As for the list, I think it is better than it has been in the past due to not so many of the usual suspects making it on the list who are now non-progressive (Marillion). I personally didn't find 2009 to be that great of a year outside Aranis, Zombi and Mono, but I do respect a majority of the bands on the list (particularly motW and Deluge Grander).

The highest distiction goes to the Zeuhl legends, who, five years after the tremendous comeback with K.A., reaffirm themselves with Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré, the last chapter of the Köhntarkösz trilogy, in which vocal jazz, dark incantations or vintage-preserved Zeuhl dynamics are simply the starting point.

"Same old, same old, pretty much, but what a wondrous same old it is.(...)While I hardly think this music will have the longevity of, say, Beethoven's glorious 9th, or music by influences on Vander such as Coltrane and Orff, compared to the vast majority of others in the rock universe, this is stellar stuff."
(Logan, Honorary Collaborator)



#3
Aside the admiration expressed for this band's comeback project, this must undoubtebly be a surprising recognition for the retro symphonic rock played in recent times.

"(...) a stunning album, at least if symphonic progressive rock is a stylistic expression you normally enjoy. Perhaps a bit too slick and contemporary sounding for die-hard fans of vintage Yes and Genesis, but it is a production that many will find truly magnificent. And without doubt a classic album, of the kind that will be regarded as such many decades from now."
(Windhawk, Special Collaborator & Neo Prog/Crossover Prog Specialist)

#4
It would be impossible to forget these indie-folkers' breakthrough rock, that also meant their closest step towards prog and personal excellency. And indeed, it isn't left unmentioned. On the contrary: fourth best album of the year, for us.

"These guys are destined for greatness if they manage to hold it together for a few more years at least, and I've no doubt that a decade from now this album will appear on many "Greatest Rock Albums" lists alongside some of the other legendary rock operas in history. Take advantage of it now - you can say then that you knew this music 'when'"
(ClemofNazareth, Special Collaborator & Prog Folk Researcher)
#5
It proved to be the first time in a long sequence when constantly acclaimed Porcupine Tree's newest album was not universally acclaimed. It still received enough votes to make it in the top. Imagine what would have happened otherwise.

"An initial skeptic, I have found myself increasingly convinced by this album. It's not only the many musical highlights that convince me this is a masterpiece of modern prog, but also the integrity of the song cycle itself: how it coheres both musically and lyrically. This piece is by turns beautiful, raw, thought-provoking, bleak and ultimately disturbing."
(russellk, Prog Reviewer)


#9
After years of full exposure to a crazily expansive, resoundingly consuming and either addictively- or odiously-regarded music, The Mars Volta, at the end of a decade they were fuly part of, came with something different, maybe not so much in terms of the too-well-known style, as the tone set outwardly. Octahedron appears to be considered just as noteworthy as most, if not all, from which it distanced itself.

"Decaffeinated is a great adjective I have heard to describe this album. So The Mars Volta that previously created an album of almost nonstop thrash noise and craziness - now they have created an album of "Televators", so to speak - subdued, quieter pieces - and that's just fine by me."
(Epignosis, Special Collaborator & Eclectic Prog Specialist)
