This is a list of some of my favourite albums from these years without repeating act's names for this list. Note that not all of these acts are in PA. These might not be my faves from the act, and I could have chosen others.
I made a playlist with a favourite track from each (in a couple of cases only the whole album was available but the link hopefully will be timestamped). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4KCo2bN8VtKZL7MUGmXDbrI 2022: The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention 2021: Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready 2020: Ciśnienie / Lód 9 - Brass Album 2019: Vanishing Twin - The Age of Immunology 2018: Julia Holter - Aviary 2017: Yolk - Solar 2016: David Bowie - Blackstar 2015: Anna von Hausswolff - The Miraculous 2014: Swans - To Be Kind 2013: Kosmischer Läufer - The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program 1972-83: Volume One 2012: Melody's Echo Chamber - Melody's Echo Chamber 2011: North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon 2010: Univers Zero - Clivages 2009: Magma - Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré 2008: Portishead - Third 2007: William D. Drake - Briny Hooves 2006: OOIOO - Taiga 2005: Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase 2004: Guapo - Five Suns 2003: Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye 2002: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O. 2001: Air - 10 000 Hz Legend 2000: Broadcast - The Noise Made by People 1999: Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun 1998: Pram - North Pole Radio Station Feel free to vote for up to five choices, if you enjoy at least that many, and feel free to base any votes on my music choices in the youtube playlist even though you might well prefer other tracks from the albums.

Bowie's Blackstar gets the nod.

That's a fantastic list with lots of great stuff. Our tastes are not that different. Blackstar, To Be Kind, I a Moon & The Noise Made by People are straight five star masterpieces with Univers Zero, William D. Drake, GSYBE, Guapo and some others not far behind. Edit: I somehow missed the Cisnienie Brass Album, another 5 stars for me. Edited by Lewian - December 07 2022 at 11:00 |

Awesome list, Greg! I had no problem concurring with six of your choices:
Aviary Taiga The Miraculous Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré I a Moon Choirs of the Eye Clivages but only voted for the first five (as requested in the OP--which, apparently, nobody else read).

The Smile got my vote. Not too much on the list that I am a big fan of, but I do like I A Moon. I seem to recall liking the Yolk album, which I listened to a couple of times and Clivages. Bowie has always been hit and miss with me and while the story behind the release of Blackstar is quite historic, the album itself didn't really hit the mark with me. I suppose I should give it another listen as it has been awhile.

2022 The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention (amazing live)
2021 Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready 2016 David Bowie - Blackstar 2004 Guapo - Five Suns 2002 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O. I'm very much into The Smile for the time being. Time will tell if it holds up compared to older favorites (such as Swans, Kosmisher Laufer, Portishead, Kayo Dot and a few more...)

Thanks Greg. Really good list with about half that I have or listened to and regard highly. The other half is either unknown or ones I have wanted to explore further.
For this poll this time, voted on the Smile, Swans, Yolk, Kayo Dot, and Guapo. Could have gone with the albums by GY!BE, Bowie, Magma, Broadcast. Also, really liking the track by Cisnienie. Listening to it for the first time as type this. I do like some brass. |

Hi,
Can't vote ... have too much listening to do before that ... I don't like the idea of voting for a favorite when I don't know at least half the stuff!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Lingua Ignota's Sinner Get Ready could make the list for me (instead of Godspeed), but I'll have to listen to that album a bit more to give it a place in my mind between all the others that I like quite a lot. So, provisionally, my five are: 2020: Ciśnienie / Lód 9 - Brass Album 2019: Vanishing Twin - The Age of Immunology 2018: Julia Holter - Aviary 2015: Anna von Hausswolff - The Miraculous 2002: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O.

Thanks all.
I love Cisnienie, but then I love music that builds up to huge crescendos and that;s kind of what they do. "Fratres" is another particular fave of mine from the band. |

I appreciate that you would consider trying to listen to all before voting, but no need to as I wasn't asking to vote for a favourite per se, but instead to vote for up to any five that you enjoy. If you get my drift. I am more interested in the comments than the votes themselves, so people should feel free to talk about the albums they like and don't like even if they are uncomfortable voting. I haven't voted in these polls and I know all of them, of course -- valuing all of them makes it harder. I will try to vote based on my tastes du jour -- and on Thursdays fowl, sadly, is off the menu (no Swans, Ducks, Geese, Turkeys or other fowl in my Aviary). I love Swans, so I guess the Yolk's on me... The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready Julia Holter - Aviary Anna von Hausswolff - The Miraculous North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon There are about 19 others I could almost as easily vote for -- with Pram I really wanted The Museum of Imaginary Animals, which is more owl than fowl.
