These are the top three from the two earlier polls. You guys have excellent taste i must say. I've listed them from the most votes to the least. As a side note i realized later that i should have included John Arch's Twist Of Fate one of my favourite Prog-Metal albums but because it's under EPs i missed it.

| Kayo Dot for me, followed very closely by The Mars Volta and King Crimson |

Voted for Kayo Dot. That album really opened my eyes to new types of music (what is generally known as "post metal" or "avant metal"), even though it took a couple of years for me to really like it. Runner up for me is Anekdoten's "Gravity" -- that album was kind of a pleasant surprise for me, as I'd stopped following Anekdoten after their 2nd album, and came back many years later to discover that they had indeed evolved their sound into something modern and distinctive. Gravity is my favorite album from Anekdoten after the debut. I've been a King Crimson fan most of my life, but I still haven't been able to enjoy "The Power to Believe". I feel as if the loss of Bruford and Levin in the later years turned them into a band that didn't really feel like Crimson anymore to me. Not bad, but nothing that excites me like most Crimson albums do. Opeth and The Mars Volta are two bands I have REPEATEDLY tried to get into, to no avail. Maybe someday. I do respect the hell out of both of them. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Well said mister  . That Kayo Dot album was difficult to get into but it's one of those albums that i'll never get tired of. It's just so interesting and innovative.That's my favourite Anekdoten record too and my pick in this poll. Opeth and King Crimson are my runnerups. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

What he said. Though it has to be said, 4 of the other 5 are rather good albums as well (Damnation being the odd one out). ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005  |

The Kayo Dot fans decided to come out for this one as they received the lowest vote total of the six that made it through the first two polls. Go figure ? Well deserved though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

The Power to Believe by far. I really can't get into Kayo Dot or most post rock for that matter. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

I don't really like The Mars Volta, though I can just sbout listen to their debut, unlike the later albums. Similarly, King Crimson do nothing for me and never have since their debut, which has not aged well. I have listened repeatedly to Choirs of the Eye and find it clever if rather dull, but inoffensive.
I do like Gravity and Opeth can do little wrong for me, though Damnation isn't quite their best.
But Riverside's offering is head and shoulders above all the others on this list. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Never understood why people considered Kayo Dot Post Rock/Metal. I mean as I understand it it's because of they like to build up over the full length of the song, or enjoy lengthy buildups in general, but it's not like Post Rock has a copyright to that idea and no other genre can use it. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005 |

I don't have a huge modern progressive music collection -- it's a small
portion of my collection, and have only had two of these albums --
Choirs of the Eye and De-Loused. Of those, definitely Choirs of the
Eye. The Mars Volta just didn't click with me. Not that it would be of interest to anyone but myself, but my traditional favourite albums from 2003 are Volapuk's Where is Tamashii? and Robert Wyatt's Cuckooland. |

Your the second person to mention Cuckooland and i don't have that particular VOLAPUK album. By the way i listened to RIVERSIDE's Out Of Myself last night just because it has the most votes here. It was an enjoyable experience.  ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
