YES Its back after a years hiatus - the poll to end all polls (0r just a way to spend a weekend for a bored proghead  )Choose the best 2011 album.... Top 24 - Here is the prog poll for definitive albums of 2010. If I missed any that you believe are essential, place them in other section. The year 2011 was an incredible pear for prog with some of the greatest releases for years. New bands offered their own brand of brilliance, and heavy metal flourished. The awesome list shows a diversity of styles from many lands, showing how prog has developed as a number one musical genre throughout the world.

| Beardfish takes this one for me, maybe Haken in second. I didn't think 2011 was that great to be honest, 2012 was much better. |

| I was looking for Karmakanic and Mars Hollow, maybe even Yes' album from 2011... but from this list (and maybe in retrospect, having lived with these records for the past couple of years), I choose Grace for Drowning. |

My actual number 1 is an album by a not very well known Australian band called Chaos Divine, but Haken are a close second, so I'll give them a vote here. ------------- http://thedarkthird.bandcamp.com/ |

Tough call between Unexpect and Leprous from these, went with Unexpect, though White Willow's Terminal Twilight and Fen's Epoch are a step above both and easily the best two albums of 2011.

Man, many great albums here. 2011 was indeed a wonderful year for prog! My vote, as usual, is for A Tower Of Silence. #2, not listed here, has to be Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving - Deaden The Fields. ACR: Do you know this one? Another Aussie band. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Some great albums to choose from here. It takes something special to beat Grace For Drowning but imo there's one that does. I'm going for the superb Amplifier double album The Octopus. I know they're not particularly well liked on here but this really hits the spot for me. If you like your space rock heavy, classy and with an indie/alt rock twist you can't go wrong with this. It's one of my favourite albums of the new millenium so far and gets my vote. Incidentally Amplifier's new one Echo Street (just released about 3 weeks ago) is pretty special too. |

| I'd probably prefer A Scarcity Of Miracles to all of these, but Haken and Dream Theater's 2011 albums were amazing. |

| I assume I voted GFD first time round. I'm not sure I would agree it was such a great year. I like the debut by AltaVia - Girt Dog and also the excellent Glass Hammer - Cor Cordium but otherwise the year largely passed me by. I did also later pick up Amplifier - The Octopus which is very good but not sure I can get that excited about it. |
