I'm the same. I guess I am not that keen on more traditional conceptions of Prog generally, and had this site stuck with a narrow vision of Progressive Rock, then I don't think I would have continued with this site. Some of my favourites from 2000 in PA are Radiohead's Kid A, Godspeed You Black Emperor!'s Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! and Bohren & der Club of Gore's Sunset Mission. Outside of PA, Broadcast's The Noise Made by People is a special album to me.
I would probably have vote for any of these, but I do like the Porcupine Tree album (more than King Crimson's one in this year).

^ It's my favorite of theirs, more concise than HTMAP, even though that one contains my favorite The Gathering tracks. Smile

That was the first album I owned by them. The Tarkus influenced opening track hooked me in and I've been a fan ever since. It's funny to listen to recent material such as the superb but much heavier At The Gate and wonder if it's the same band. Only recently found that basically it isn't because bassist Steve Babb has now fully taken over the reins while keyboardist Fred Schendel has pulled back significantly. Also sadly no involvement from Suzie Bogdanwicz anymore. One of the loveliest ladies of prog!

I love most Arena, but Immortal is not one of my favourites (and the cover is vile).
It's either IQ or Iona and it's a very hard choice.
Going with IQ today. Tomorrow might have been different.
None of the rest come close.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

Spock's Beard just a notch ahead of King Crimson. Before I became a truck, I was a tossed salad.

Mastermind's AotA is easily a 4-star album. My pick.
