No Eno for you? I hear that one is quite different from most of his music. I haven't heard it.

A top three for me here. Love this record! It's so uplifting. Meros is such an underrated bass player.

Thankyou sir! Kid A and Amnesiac are the two Radiohead albums I reach for most. I'd probably pick Zopp as my fav of your second tier albums.

My vote as well. Probably my favourite prog metal album. Almost included Brave New World by Iron Maiden.

Great trio of albums Ian! I could spend a day off with those three on repeat. I listened to Clivages a couple of nights ago. It is better than I remembered. I feel that opener is a little light and too melodic, but then it's all gravy. It was also interesting going back to the posts for the 2010 album of the year listing where Clivages won.
A lot of prog fans were not happy with the avant titles getting the votes. Top three UZ, Frogg Cafe and Kayo Dot.

I feel this is a weaker poll despite being a huge fan of many of these. Nostalgia for me, especially the year 2000. I'm still surprised with the part II of these polls that the albums in the late 10's or 20's seem to get neglected.

While Kid A is my clear favourite these days, Clivages was my top album for 2010 in 2010 (I have not listened to it in full for years). A fave of mine here is Xing Sa's Creation de l'Univers.
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.

Zero II looks at 2000, 2010 and 2020. One vote.
Clivages was the album of the year for 2010 while Zopp received that honour for 2020.
