2009 was a good year! Voted Underfall Yard, but The Incident, Frequency, and Crack the Sky are also excellent.

Damn good year, but Part the Second tops it.
I'm surprised to see only 1 vote for E-Re, as it beat PtS for collab album of the year.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I'm gonna have to wait this one out. It's gonna be between The Decemberists, Mastodon, Isis, Phideaux, Volta, or Maudlin of course. There's too many!!

Wow I hadn't realised about AAL. Not here? . Surely 100 people have rated such an amazing album.
That's another one that I would have been torn on whether to vote for.

An excellent year. Big Big Train just about beats some fine competition from the likes of IQ.

Some really great albums were released, and I agree thw IQ album is their best but, for me the decision is easy BIG BIG TRAIN! What a stunning album. It encapulates everything that is great about Prog imo.

As a symphonic/retro/prog metal only listener at the time I remember being disappointed.
Now looking back it has so many masterpieces that I didn't even hear till this year.

It's got another vote now from me , and if I recall corrctly, I voted for it in
top place for that collab album choice contest thing. I just
think that hardly any of those collabs who would have voted for it (or put it high in their list for the collab only contest) have voted in
this poll. By the way, Miriodor's Avanti made number ten in the collab best list and didn't make this one.I'have only heard two from this list (the Magma and Maudlin).

One of the best years for prog releases, at least in the past 10 years! I like most on that list, so choosing is difficult. I think MotW's "Part The Second", is a worthy choice for number one release of 2009
