Pedro, the amount of prog music released each year is vast. Who is to say what is worthy and what isn't. People may find one gem in here which only one person suggested.

I consider my 57 in and out of PA choices worthy of note, and the top 30 is very strong for me.

I didn't vote this year mainly cause I just did not have time, too busy with work and the new process I did not have time to figure it out.
I don't listen to pretty much anything on the final list, assuming I am looking at the final results list......Seems like all of it is extremely obscure bands.
I've clicked on some of it to get a feel for what people voted for............

Hi,

I know there is a lot of music ... a lot!

But I'm in the same boat ... I don't want to vote when I have not been able to hear more stuff ... that might have been left behind because it is less seen and mentioned, or found. I've mentioned this before here in the board, and this is where I hoped our folks all discussed more many of these "new" listings ... so we can "validate" their entries so to speak into the listings.

I guess this is a GREAT time for the music to be out there, and have a chance at getting somewhere, and this is our hope, I suppose ... and that would be a good thing. But if I had a band, and was listed as 223 for the year 2023 ... I don't know how I would feel. I suppose thankful that I was noticed ... and then go back to the scratching board and start on the next piece or album. I keep thinking that I have to be into the art itself, and not the numbers.

And I listened to ALL of these! I think I missed a couple that did not have BC and were forcing you to pay up. I am on a very limited budget.

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

I think most bands would feel honoured, because they know that this puts them in the top 5% of all releases that year. The AP database currently contains 2660 releases for 2023, and there's far more out there.

Where's Billie Bottle's Temple of Shibboleth? It's in PA's database. Here's my posted review:  https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=83457

I don't understand how one contributor (Mellotron Storm) can get five (5) albums to earn 18 points each! Does that mean if I had listed 10 albums as tied for first place they each would have earned 20 points?

^ I added an unranked mode where the points are evenly distributed between all releases. But that mode does not give someone more points to distribute in total. For a ranked list of five releases it's 90 points (20,19,18,17,16) and for an unranked list of five as well (5x18 = 90).

What about the Billie Bottle release? It's in the AP database and linked to PA, so it can be voted for in the poll ...

Is this AOTY 2023 poll dynamic or was it locked February 1, 2023?

While it would be better for Mike to answer.... The official results for the PA Album of the Year event were set by Feb 1, 2024; however, one can keep using progfreak, oops, I mean awesomeprog, to update one's own lists. While having official results set by February, I had hoped that people might keep adapting their lists and we could revisit the tallies later to see how it has changed. Mike knows his site and its capabilities as he has set them and wants them best. I like dynamic lists/ charts.

^ Yes, these polls are fully dynamic - everyone can keep submitting votes. The combined chart as well as the user lists can be viewed and exported for any given day, see for example:


This shows the results based on lists posted until the last day of February 2024.

2023 was an awesome year.

I think Seven Impale, Jack O’ the Clock, and Sonar hit the ball out of the park.

Peter Gabriel’s album is the disappointment of the year for me. It’s the first Gabriel major release I just can’t get into.

^ I'm still exploring the year, there's at least 50 more releases from 2023 on my listening queue.
