Thanks to all for your contributions. Its been enjoyable looking through them, comparing lists, and listening to music.

Not including the honorable mentions, I included the 15 (or 14 in one case) lists that were posted in this topic and compiled them. I really like the tracks posted too, and that in itself would be deserving of a proper response. A number of these acts and albums were on my longer list that I pared down for my 15: Abou-Khalil (I was going to go with Blue Camel), Dead Can Dance (Aion), Tipographica, Bondage Fruit (with II), Motor Totemist Guild, Sigur Rós, French TV. Thought about adding that Thinking Plague, wanted to add that Tortoise by opted to go with only Millions, and I would have liked to mention three Swans: Soundtracks For the Blind (which I went with) as well as The Great Annihilator and White Light... Love Swans (feel like playing To Be Kind again now, which grew and grew on me). I would also have liked to mention a second by Art Zoyd with Faust. Lots I know and like in the list. Lewian mentioned a track by 'O'rang, and I really like the album Herd of Instinct.

I have mentioned the number of times albums have been mentioned (again, excluding the honorary mentions). Not surprisingly to me from this quite small sample size, Radiohead's OK Computer made the most lists (5x). Rush and Yes are coming up the rear of Radiohead with their Counterparts and Talk (3x each).

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Sorry for the snipping... Wanted to quote both of these since they both relate (and a couple of others listed more than one album per act with Yes and Mansun)...

I have a number of "snaps" with your list, and one that I almost included with Dead Can Dance.

Thanks, John and Saperlipopette! for your lists (as well as all others)

While I went with the one album per band/artist for my list, mostly so I could cover more ground by bands, I find it interesting to see which bands are favoured by individuals by number of albums. That kind of favourite artists topic would be interesting to me -- I did something like that for the 90s before. I'll update the list of all submissions (minus the bonus entries) if we get a few more submissions, and actually I'd like to do a bonus entries list itself. Lists and lists, I read at another site, Progressive Ears, someone saying that the PA forum members are obsessed with lists and this forum is pretty much all about list-making. I know I am. :)

I guess my top four in terms of releases in the 90s PA would be:

Swans
- White Light From the Mouth of Infinity (1991)
- The Great Annihilator (1995)
- Soundtracks for the Blind (1996)

Swans has been rocking my world so much this year. I really got to know the music by this band much more quite recently.

Art Zoyd
- Faust (1995)
- Häxan (1997)

I love both of these albums by Art Zoyd. I went with Häxan for the poll, but I actually return to Faust more. Both Marathonnerres could also be listed, but it's those above two that are particularly special and were my two favourite albums of the 90s for some years.

Tortoise
- Tortoise (1994)
- Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1996)
- TNT (1998)

Current 93
- Thunder Perfect Mind (1992)
- Of Ruine or Some Blazing Starre (1994)
- All the Pretty Little Horses

Could also mention Horsey (1997) (this albums features a cover song of Comus' "Diana"). Current 93 is one of those bands that I have to be in the right mood for usually. I could imagine some saying that you have to have the "wrong" kind of mood to appreciate it.

Outside of PA when it comes to favourites of mine by artists with multiple loved by me albums, I would include Pram, Stereolab, Portishead (I adore those three bands).
