The new pile of Random Album Clashes is coming out! RAC 1/3 will tackle 2015, not a necessarily strong year for our beloved prog rock with the exception of a few really interesting albums, of which the one I will cast my vote for - BTBAM's 'Coma Ecliptic', kind of a progressive death metal rock opera that deserves your attention. Apart from that, I want to say a big thank you to all the forum users that participate in these poll series and make it interesting with their varied choices, comments, and sometimes suggestions!

David Gilmour's Rattle That Lock, even though it's the only album I know in the poll.

In the more recent years your random choices go further away from my taste... Revere Reach by William D. Drake, Titan by Plaistow, or Black Light by Sonar would beat all of these in my book; at least there's Anekdoten to vote for. |

Anekdoten for me, I hated that Gilmour album. My picks from '15 would be Schnellertollermeier- X or Upsilon Acrux - Sun Square Dialect. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

Funnily, I'm just watching (and being blown away by) Riverside's Reality Dream DVD. For one who used to hate prog metal, they are a revelation. I feel a 5* review coming on. LFATTM gets my vote, comprehensively. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I'm surprising myself, but my vote goes to Riverside instead of to Gilmour. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

We have a clear favorite here, I guess this could have been expected given the rating of this album. |

Hmm... Not many bands/artists that interest me that much and I wouldn't call any of the albums that I do know "favourite"... Will give a listen to that Toto album - that one went under my radar... No vote, this time. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

As I intimated in a comment on another poll, I’ve often wondered how different the poll results might have looked if multiple votes were allowed. I suspect Anekdoten would still be out in front, but not by as much. And potentially might not even be in front at all. As an example, Beardfish seems to be a well-liked band on PA, and I know if multiple votes had been allowed, I would have voted for that album as well as Anekdoten. In fact, there are several albums I would probably have voted for. Choosing just one can sometimes somewhat artificially raise how popular something is overall. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Yeah, both options definitely have their pros and cons. It’s a shame that the cheaters spoil it for the rest of us, though, as ultimately that is usually the only reason people give against multiple votes. It would be kind of cool if the forum allowed you to do multiple votes, but only one per choice. Or, alternatively, if multiple votes were limited to, say, three. That way even if someone cheated the most they could artificially add to an album’s total would be two votes. I don’t really understand why anyone would cheat, though? What do they have to gain by giving the album they like multiple votes? 🤔🤷🏻♂️ ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Can't vote here. So many albums I don't have.... Endless Forms Most Beautiful by Nightwish was my favourite album that year

And finally, things are pretty clear for the 2015 poll with what is certainly the first win for Anekdoten! |
