Another year is coming to a close ... let's round up and compare our top releases of the year! As last year, you're welcome to use the tools at AP to compile the list. It works best when you also create an account at AP, but it is also possible without a registration. And of course those of you who will not go to AP as a matter of principle, I'll register your votes as well if you post your list in this thread.

https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024" rel="nofollow - https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024

If you want to use AP, then you need to:
1. Go there using the link above and compile your top list
2. Export it as forum code and post this code here in this thread (as a separate post, without replying to anybody else within the same post)
3. Then I will pick it up semi-automatically and your votes will be added to the combined list
4. [Optional] register at AP beforehand, making the experience more comfortable (among other things, you will only have to paste your list here once and future updates you make will be picked up at AP directly).
5. [Optional] as a registered AP user, tier the results and get tailored recommendations.

Some more rules/instructions:
- you can vote for any LP, EP, Compilation or Live/Video release from 2024.
- You need to do it at AP like explained above (in the first post). The AP database contains a lot of releases from all kinds of sources, including PA, so your favorite releases should be present there. If some of them are missing you can add them easily yourself. You only need to register at AP and add any artist or release you like.
- You can submit any number of releases you like. The "official" PA results are compiled by awarding points to your submissions. The first list entry yields 20 points, the second one 19, and so forth. Which means that only the top 20 releases of your list will be counted towards the combined result.
- Your list can contain any types of releases, including non-prog and/or releases not on PA. My website automatically compiles the combined results, only counting the "compatible" releases from your list.
- At the end of January I will compile the "official" results, so please make sure that your list is submitted (either at AP directly or by posting it here) before February.
- You can update your list as often as you like! So there is no need to wait until the deadline to submit your list. My suggestion is always to keep a growing list throughout the year and occasionally submit it, constantly refining it up until the deadline.
- And if you cannot / will not use AP, feel free to submit your list in any "free" format you like in this thread and I will add it at AP on your behalf.

^ Counted! Sorry about the formatting, pasting the HTML code depends a little bit on how your browser and the PA forum implementation get along. It works reasonably well with all Chromium-based browsers.

I still don't know how to link releases from AP and i don't have the time to learn how to do it.

I will post a list at some point. Let's also see what albums will be released in December. Smile

^ Sure, it is still quite early - but some already have lists. You folks (and admins) at PA decide about the timeline - and of course whether to make this the official PA polls for the year again. Smile

If you decide to give it a try, maybe the screenshot below helps. Search for a release, then click the "select" to add it. Then follow the instructions ...

I wanted to edit this list earlier today, but AP will now let me. So deleting it for now and will add an edited/ abbreviated list when I can.

EDIT Had just wanted to show the ones already included in PA.    My complete list is here: https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/users/Logan" rel="nofollow - https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/users/Logan 12 of those are in PA, 24 are not, various ones probably could be added to PA. Oh the Godpseed was not linked to PA, now linked so 13 in PA.

From those in PA (from my 36 listed there total):

1. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - "No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead"
2. The Smile - Wall of Eyes

For third I was going to say Eunuchs Harbour Century but surprised it has not been added to PA as I know interest has been expressed in it.

3. Geordie Greep - The New Sound
4. Uboa - Impossible Light
5. Beak> - >>>> (nice to see that got added)
6. Magick Brother & Mystic Sister - Tarot, Part 1
7. The Smile - Cutouts
8. Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She
9. Mono - Oath
10. God is an Astronaut - Embers
11. Goat- Goat
12. The Decemberists - As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again
13. Glass Beach - Plastic Death
{* 14. Fire! - Testament -- band is in PA but not album yet, not a prog album really anyway, but jazz}

Up to you, of course, but you still have plenty of time before they will need to be in for tallying.  

I find it nice to see people's lists even if few and even if they choose not to officially participate.  And I value giving the albums exposure that we like, regardless (especially can be helpful for the little-known names).  Maybe you already posted some of your faves from this year in this topic already: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132978" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132978 I basically used my list there to update my list for this topic.

Most years I have been trying to play catch up, but thanks to how things went last year, I ended up discovering new albums from this year throughout the year.  My issue is now having to suggest and add bands to PA (that's just not an interest of mine) if I want them to count for the official tally   Since I have COVID again and can't do much else, and will be getting very busy again, maybe I will get around to suggesting some very soon for PA inclusion.

I'm not participating either. I probably will come up with a top five eventually and post it. Hey maybe ten, but it hasn't been the greatest year like the last few in my opinion. Still I'm excited over the ones I like. And looking forward to the results of course.

My take on 2024 so far: Less impressive than 2023 for sure, but there are tons of awesome releases. I've listened to almost 200 releases of 2024 and currently have about 50 of them rated higher than 8.5/10. There's a lot to discover!

To those who look for inspiration: Take a look at the combined chart so far. You can narrow it down by genre, and for each release you can see who voted for it. Each entry is linked to external websites like Spotify, Youtube and Bandcamp. If you create an AP account you'll also be able to "bookmark" releases for exploration, or mark them as hidden.

After seeing richardh's list above I realised I've missed a couple off mine. I've changed it at AP and resubmitted it. Is that all I need to do for the new additions to count? I have to admit AP makes doing these sort of things so easy to do. Thanks @MikeEnRegalia.

Edit: Nice list! Checking out the Frant1c release, it was the only one from the list I had not heard yet.

^ Thanks Mike. Yes, Frant1c a spin off from Nine Skies - took a few listens that one, but very enjoyable indeed once it had sunk in. Not on PA yet though, but I did submit here for appraisal (still waiting I think). I'm going through some of the other list submitted and am now playing Plantoid - Terrapath - 'tis nice so far.

Didn't know Godspeed had an album out. I wonder how much Opeth will move the needle? The general release date is coming soon (24 November) although I note that it's already getting reviews from those with presumably pre-release copies. Looking forward to it.

^ I'm slightly annoyed by the fact that even though their label responded to my request for a pre-release review copy (or stream), I never received any. Mostly angry at the "Angry Metal Guy" who did receive one LOL

Hi,

I'm still listening, but in reality, I am also turning off more stuff than I ever have, because so much of it sounds the same as many other bands.

I'll try to make a list of things I am/have enjoyed, though so far, it's not as good a list as I can remember from last year.

^ I agree. Having listened to 200+ releases of 2024, although my tolerance for "sounding similar" is probably higher than yours, there seem to be fewer releases which really stand out as unique than last year.

I started to compile a list at AP, but found it didn't have any Stephan Thelen or SONAR in its database. Then I was going to handwrite a list, but found it too time consuming. So maybe next year...

It's very easy to add albums, I added 20 to complete my list. Sonar and Thelen are in the database.

My Top 25 of 2024 episode will air December 10th on The Prog Corner YouTube channel.

Overall, I think 2023 had more great albums but 2024 has been deeper with many, many very good albums. 
As a result, this year is going to be really difficult with some very painful cuts being made...

BTW: If you register at AP and submit your list again, you'll be able to make subsequent updates much more easily without having to copy/paste forum code.

I agree, this year's prog was stale and generic, especially compared to '22/'23.

Blood Incantation and Plantoid are the easy standouts for me, in the full-flegdged prog realm... everything else great is just "prog related," or, gasp non-prog

huh, it seems The Aritocrats' Duck made my AotY list on AP, as well as Vipassi's Lightless... so there're those ig, too

I was pleased to see our weird Bakullama Sleepers at #343 overall at AP (eclectic prog). 

Thanks to all who had a listen this year!  We're going to work on a better more polished album for 2025.   I've been so busy I have not had time to listen to even the top 10, so the next few weeks will be devoted to doing that.  I tend to agree that there is a certain 'sameness' in many of the tracks I have heard (which isn’t many) , I'm looking for NEW & DIFFERENT approaches but when I go too far outside the norm, they become less and less PROG-proper (by definition). Genres and labelings are stifling to a degree, but necessary... 

The bent Knee 20 pills is one of the ones towards the top that I'm familiar with. And like.

I don't know how many of you find the time to listen to SO MUCH Music... Amazing!  Those of you who are familiar with this music... Could you point me in the direction of the more Krautrock, spacerock, stoner type music released this year that does not sound like Steve Wilson, Tool, and or Genesis?  It's not that I dont like that music... I really did!

Puzzled by a lot of comments. I love this year a lot and it's at least as good as last year in my estimation.Steve Hackett is barely clinging onto my top 30 for the year and that is a fine album. Deep Purple don't make my personal top 50 but it's another great album from a band in late career bloom. Oh well.

Deep Purple's last album is great, I enjoyed it a lot. Thumbs Up

^ I enjoyed it as well, and I think that "great" describes it well. I put it in the "Great" tier at AP and it's still my lowest-rated DP release, most of the others are awesome or even stellar.

If anyone wants to try out the poll system some more, here's a poll on the Deep Purple releases:

hmmm, this new feature seems like a cleaner, more streamlined (and ultimately better) version The Top Tens...

Ultimately lists and tiers/ratings are competing features. tiers and ratings are much more powerful, once a release is tiered/rated it can appear in many automatically generated lists. But lists are more organic and fun to compile.

Also, what does "aota" stand for? Album of the Artist?

^ Yes, I needed some code to identify the type of poll. Can be extended to several artists. As an example, just for fun, here's a poll pitting Deep Purple "against" Opeth:

Should this thread maybe be pinned? I had some trouble finding it.
Anyway this isn't really definitive still but at this point I at least feel comfortable enough putting together this preliminary top 5 of the year:
1. Risa Takeda - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lFhFWokgoxBKNxZe8On4WWOjpPwlnt_k4" rel="nofollow - Parallel World
Runs the gamut from J-pop to atonal chamber music to cinematic classical music to jazz fusion to tango to freaked out avant-prog but still feels like an amazing unified gestalt.
2. Tom Penaguin - https://amarxe.bandcamp.com/album/tom-penaguin" rel="nofollow - Tom Penaguin
Maybe a wee bit too overt on the Canterbury homages, but no less expertly put together and played because of that.
3. Tigran Hamasyan - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAGJKR_6zhKoaJqFgpi53BO8fyMnQaWjj" rel="nofollow - The Bird Of A Thousand Voices
The impeccable old familiar Hamasyan sound, blown up to its most epic and ambitious proportions but never feeling out of its depth. A true journey.
4. Grdina Lillinger - https://gordongrdina.bandcamp.com/album/duo-work" rel="nofollow - Duo Work
A quirky beautiful thing that sounds like two slightly misaligned robots attempting to operate their avant-prog clockwork.
5. Vylet Pony - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134030" rel="nofollow - Monarch Of Monsters
Resembling at times a noisy feminine Swans and at other times a pissed off crossoverish Mars Volta, this is really something special.

The Tom Penaguin debut album is very nice indeed. I'm liking myself a bit of Canterbury in my old age. Tom is a young French guy apparently. Very talented and one to watch for the future. I put him in my top 30. This won't change much now so I'll officially submit it.

I noticed today that the new Opeth album has disappeared from the number one spot at AP. It had been there since it was released. Was it removed for some reason or was it voted down? Although I don’t really consider Opeth Prog personally, I know that many do. Just curious what happened?

Edit: I see it is now at #177.    That’s quite a drop.

Hi Mike (or anyone who knows this), can you please explain the exact rules (optimally in the starting posting)?

Particularly I wonder which albums qualify for what poll. The PA album of the year contest is probably the "PA chart", isn't it? And for this one only albums listed on PA qualify, but other albums may end up in "AP Prog" and "AP Other"? Do only albums not on PA qualify for "AP Prog"? Does the "PA + AP Chart" just take into account all votes and all listed albums, prog or not?

Also, how many albums from my list are actually counted? Top 20 as in earlier years? Is it possible to nominate 20 for each category? If I list more than 20 in a category, are there counted, and how is the evaluation done (particularly if somebody has fewer albums listed)?

Is it correct that I only put together one list, with entries potentially from all categories, and then the algorithm tells apart the categories?

Thanks!

Hi Mike (or anyone who knows this), can you please explain the exact rules (optimally in the starting posting)?

Particularly I wonder which albums qualify for what poll. The PA album of the year contest is probably the "PA chart", isn't it? And for this one only albums listed on PA qualify, but other albums may end up in "AP Prog" and "AP Other"? Do only albums not on PA qualify for "AP Prog"? Does the "PA + AP Chart" just take into account all votes and all listed albums, prog or not?

Also, how many albums from my list are actually counted? Top 20 as in earlier years? Is it possible to nominate 20 for each category? If I list more than 20 in a category, are there counted, and how is the evaluation done (particularly if somebody has fewer albums listed)?

Is it correct that I only put together one list, with entries potentially from all categories, and then the algorithm tells apart the categories?

Thanks!

The PA album of the year contest is the ''PA chart' and only includes albums on PA.

Only albums not on PA count for ''AP Prog'' and ''AP Other''. 

The final tab ''PA plus AP Chart'' includes all albums for all 3 tabs. This is just a democratic count of all albums. 

Only the top twenty albums that you select that are included in PA will count for the contest.

Personally I've excluded anything that is not in PA from my top twenty. This is totally articificial so that I can track the albums that will count. In truth I think Mdou Moctar might be my album of the year but I've deliberately dropped it down my list for this reason. However if I included it at NO1 then it would make no difference to the PA contest.

My updated list of 20 albums (all on PA) are as follows

And of course those of you who will not go to AP as a matter of principle, I'll register your votes as well if you post your list in this thread.


hey Mike, 

what's the deadline/curfew for this.

I think I've got my list +/- complete, but haven't fidgured out an order as of yet.

Cheers & thx for taking care of this.

Thanks! That was indeed my best guess, but I wasn't sure about it, so thanks for confirming.

You also need to actually submit the list (there is a button at the bottom of the page for that). So creating the list is in itself not enough.

To reiterate, you can create very large lists like I have done, but only up to 20 (on PA) will be counted. The extra ones are just for your own personal purposes to track and tweak as you see fit.

Having been able to hear a few more albums released in 2024, here is the third [and final, I promise] update on my behalf - some newcomers climbing higher up and a few LPs moving around. It seems like I have generally been more partial to the heavier side of prog this year and this kind of confirms my observation for the decade in general - the real "progression" and the really innovative stuff is happening in the courts of the heavier acts.

Happy new year to everyone! Unfortunately my family life took precedence in the last two weeks, I had so much to do that I even failed to complete the https://adventofcode.com" rel="nofollow - adventofcode.com coding competition! Sleepy

Thanks for all the positive feedback about the AP and the polls in particular. 

@bartymj: You have written so many blurbs, that's a tremendous contribution to AP. Clap

Lewian asked about the "rules/instructions" for this poll. This is what I remember from last year (and from how I've implemented it), I'll also add them to the first post:

- you can vote for any LP, EP, Compilation or Live/Video release from 2024.
- You need to do it at AP like explained above (in the first post). The AP database contains a lot of releases from all kinds of sources, including PA, so your favorite releases should be present there. If some of them are missing you can add them easily yourself. You only need to register at AP and add any artist or release you like.
- You can submit any number of releases you like. The "official" PA results are compiled by awarding points to your submissions. The first list entry yields 20 points, the second one 19, and so forth. Which means that only the top 20 releases of your list will be counted towards the combined result.
- Your list can contain any types of releases, including non-prog and/or releases not on PA. My website automatically compiles the combined results, only counting the "compatible" releases from your list.
- At the end of January I will compile the "official" results, so please make sure that your list is submitted (either at AP directly or by posting it here) before February.
- You can update your list as often as you like! So there is no need to wait until the deadline to submit your list. My suggestion is always to keep a growing list throughout the year and occasionally submit it, constantly refining it up until the deadline.
- And if you cannot / will not use AP, feel free to submit your list in any "free" format you like in this thread and I will add it at AP on your behalf.

In truth I think Mdou Moctar might be my album of the year but I've deliberately dropped it down my list for this reason. However if I included it at NO1 then it would make no difference to the PA contest.

Like you said, including non-pa/non-prog releases will not affect the points awarded in the PA results. I would love to see your favorite releases regardless of whether they're on PA! I can add the info to the list editor view (so that in addition to the "raw" position of the release in your list, you could see the position in the pa list). Smile

^ It's a reminder to try to get those acts into PA with albums one thinks right for PA's categories before the deadline if one wants those to count at all in one's list for this event. They would have to be suggested and evaluated by the teams and the amount of time that can take really varies from team to team and at different times and depending on how well the suggestion is made (and how clearly the music is deemed to fit its proposed category of course, which can favour cookie-cutter Prog).

I am hoping to get more personalised album suggestions based on my list at Awesome Prog before the deadline, as well as based on my tastes.

I'm actually as interested in the results for the ones not included in PA ass in the official AP list for PA's albums of the year. Most of my favourite albums from this year are not in PA. And Beth Gibbons still has my top album for the year. Godspeed's is my top album in PA, with The Smile's Wall of Eyes is second position. There are still some biggies of interest to me that I have not heard.

My list needs more work: https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/ap/aoty-2024/users/Logan" rel="nofollow - https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/ap/aoty-2024/users/Logan

^ Yes, the non-pa releases are of course as important as the pa releases from my point of view, which isn't pa-centric. But even if one's focus is just PA, many of the non-pa prog releases will eventually get added to pa. 

@richardh: I've now modified the editing view for the list to include the points awarded to the PA result. It's only visible in "pa mode" though, like through this link: https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote" rel="nofollow - https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote .

Ok although I would still need to include an additional 2 albums in my list to count ( of course it's not an issue for me as I have 70+ albums in my total list) but I think this point may need to be reiterated for those that have only gone for 20 albums in total (there are a few I noted). So mine would now look like this with the additional 2 at the bottom that still count

Over the last couple of weeks I've been thinking a lot about how "heavy listeners" like me, who listen to hundreds of new releases each year, should prioritize releases for these end of the year polls. 

TL;DR: My conclusion is that while there are dozens or releases which I've listened to once or twice and awarded high ratings, it makes no sense to include them in my list. Intuitively liking a release is one thing, but if you do not end up listening to it repeatedly over an extended period of time, it cannot be called a "favorite". So I have revised my list to only keep releases which have both high ratings and a high play count. 

Here's my revised list as of now. I'll spend the remainder of January listening to those releases again which a rated highly on first listen to see if I still like them as much as I did initially. Smile

FYI:I've just added/linked about 100 more PA releases from 2024. There's now 1026 PA releases from 2024 in the AP database, so almost all the candidates you might have should be available for voting. In total there are today 3692 releases from 2024 in the database. Out of all the non-pa releases 902 are tagged as prog, and 1409 as non-prog.

^ Nice list!

FYI: There's a new experimental feature: On the voting page I've added a sidebar with similar releases. So as you add your favorite releases to your list, you'll see related releases as an inspiration. Might be releases you already know, or releases you might want to check out. The url has not changed: Just go to https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote" rel="nofollow - https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote if you want to give it a try!

Now only 3 points seperate the heavyweight clash of the century between Big Big Train and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Crossover v RIO/Avant (or ''Prog'' versus ''Experimental''). The gloves are out! Smile

^ Or indeed between Symphonic Prog and Avant Prog, for those who dare to go beyond the PA genre system. Smile Speaking of which, I think for the runner-up release at #3 (Geordie Greep), "Eclectic Prog" is quite fitting. I've just checked RYM and they are currently listing 6+ genres/subgenres in an attempt to describe the music.

Man maybe I need to listen to these again, neither did much for me (SGM shocked me more than BBT in this regard considering how many years I was anticipating this release)

FYI: I've just implemented a few major improvements on the polls page. The main improvement is the recommendations list which now more accurately shows similar releases based on the ones you select for your list. But I also improved the overall layout as well as the "Browse" box which now lists releases based on your rating and familiarity level (for registered users).

Let me know what you think about it! Even those of you who do not want to submit a list might find it interesting - just add a few of your favorite releases and check out the recommendations!

As always, you find the 2024 poll here: https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote" rel="nofollow - https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote

SGM is now leading by a single point from BBT. Could be the first RIO/Avant album to top the poll for a while (or ever??!)
