Phideaux has been on more of plane for me so think of him more like a kinda pizza if that doesn't make any sense.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I agree. Terminal Twilight was a very fine album.

Seconded. The guy just keeps getting better and better.

I found all the love for Anathema's Weather System a little odd. IMO it's a weak copy of We're Here Because Here, IMO a much better album and their peak!!
|
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

My first two thoughts when I read the topic were: Anathema and Big Big Train. But why not include Neal Morse? The man has sustained greatness through the years with no signs of letting up. I would love to include Marillion but they have been too up and down the past few years- though I do love me a big bowl of STCBM!!!!!

I agree with most of the suggestions here and just wanted to add District 97. Most probably haven't peaked yet (only 2 albums up to now), but after an amazing debut, improved on that wonderfully with their second album. Lots more great material to come from them, I feel.

imo Big Big Train are already the Genesis of this decade. If English Electric 1 had been released in the 70s we'd be talking about another SEBTP by now.

Cool and thank you for the input. I'm going to put a spotify playlist together over the next couple of days based on all of the recommendations that I can find on there. Once I get the playlist, I'll share it on here if I can figure out how to do that.

Already mentioned but would definately agree with BBT, Anathema and Mr Wilson.

Some Norwegian art-rock has also been gaining a lot of fans and critical acclaim worldwide - you've mentioned White Willow, but I'm especially thinking of Motorpsycho, Jaga Jazzist and Susanne Sundfřr.

I wondered this, to me it feels like most bands had their day before I was even thought of. I can't recommend anything that hasn't already been recommended here lol. iamthemorning's new album is a breath of fresh air, anathema absolutely smashed it with weather systems. The Tea Club has been mentioned too, I found them a couple of months back, haven't looked back!

Anathema. No doubt at all. They are the best band in the world right now, they've basically invented two separate genres, and I think in a few years we'll see "atmospheric rock" coming through as a real thing, all based on their last 3 records.
Circus Maximus, unless they top their latest album (not likely). Same with Haken, who are bombarding my facebook feed with HEY GUYS LOOK WE'RE RECORDING DRUMS.
I actually agree with Steven Wilson, Raven is his best since the Incident, but a lot of people didn't like that, so could even be his best since FOABP.
|
Anathema would be my choice as well. Weather Systems impressed the hell out of me.I have started buying their albums and have 5 that preceded it. They are good but Weather Systems is still my favourite.

I would agree that Astra are getting better, Phideaux is on a roll, and Big Big Train are sounding better than before.
I think Wobbler keeps getting better and I am looking forward to the next Sanguine Hum cd.
Oh....and imho IQ has never sounded better, their last 2 cd's are as good as if not better than anything they have done before imo.

Big Big Train for me. Their albums just keep getting better and better. IMO PT peaked at Deadwing. The last two albums have not been their best.

Oh my, I looked through that entire list and haven't heard a single one of those albums. |
I have about 18 of those and can highly recommend most of the RIO/Avant/Zeuhl/Fusion stuff. There have been some terrific recent releases though surprising most of my recent favorites aren't on that list.
