Great year for music and quite a nice list here.

Well, a bit of a crazy dog fight here between IQ's Ever and Saviour Machine's SM 1,
however, my insane love for Saviour Machine prevails as #1.

One of the best albums of all time and of course criminally underrated.

I will never get over how SM didn't get the recognition they deserved in North America.

There is also good news in the SM Camp. Eric and Jeff Clayton are putting together a new SM album called SM 3 and it will be released later this year!!
First album in 15 yrs!!!

"Jurassic Shift". One of the very best albums of the Ozrics. "Pteranodon" alone is worth the price of the album.

Jurassic Shift is the best--my favorite--but those three Kingston Wall albums deserve more attention!

This is a nice selection of albums, hard to choose - IQ, Anekdoten, Savatage, Porcupine Tree, Saviour Machine.

Gave my vote to the very underrated Saviour Machine. I only say "underrated" because despite always putting out great music and even quite original, few people know SM.

Think it's pretty obvious what I chose here....yup.....SAVIOUR MACHINE!!!!
Saviour 1 is unreal. Thee best gothic prog metal album I've ever heard.

Of course. IQ's EVER is a masterpiece and it would definately be 2nd for me, but nothing tops the MACHINE!!

Since they have no votes I guess a lot of people just don't know them.
So if you don't mind John...


 
Thanks for the video Sagi, it gives those who don't know them a peek.

Lots of great comments, thanks guys. A three horse race as IQ has come from quite a ways back.

Kingston Wall II, one of my absolute favorites of the Psychedelic/Space Rock sub-genre.

Counterparts - Easily Rush's best from the 90's, in my humble opinion.

IQ's "Ever" got my vote.  The only other album that came close was Anekdoten's "Vemod."  Now, if Anekdoten had released "Nucleus" in '93 then it would've been a different story Wink

I have to stick with the Canadian trio on this one.  I can remember making a midnight trip to the store to buy this one on the day that it came out.  It is certainly the album that I have listened to the most out of the ones listed.  Anekdoten's Vemod would probably be 2nd on my list, followed by IQ's Ever.
