Since it's too early to know what the verdict will be for favorite prog releases of '06, I figured I'd take the "favorite release of '05" thing a bit further. Name your favorite prog release in 2005, 1995, 1985, and 1975. It has to be something that you own! I'll start: 2005 - The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (This just nudged out PT's Deadwing for me) 1995 - Ozric Tentacles - Become the Other (that was VERY tough to choose between Disco Volante and this for me!) 1985 - Ozric Tentacles - Erpsongs (I actually don't have much prog from this year yet!) 1975 - Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (VERY tough between that one and Zappa's One Size Fits All for Me, but Floyd just had to take it) ------------- Pure Brilliance:

Cool. I think Power Windows came out in '86, though. That definitely would have won out over Erpsongs for me! Anyone else? I just realized this was easier for me to do, since I recently ripped my whole collection, and iTunes has that nifty "smart playlist" feature that automatically sorts songs for you.  ------------- Pure Brilliance:

Yeah, '75's hard to narrow down to just one, eh?

75 - The Orchestral Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield 85 - Power Windows - Rush 95 - Back in the World of Adventure - Flower Kings 05 - The Inconsolable Secret - Glass Hammer Interestingly, based on my research (allmusic.com) Yes, ELP, Genesis - none of these bands issued albums in 1975 ------------- David - Never doubt in the dark that which you believe to be true in the light. http://www.myspace.com/aardvarktxusa - Instrumental rock http://www.soundclick.com/aardvarktxusa |

Relayer came out in '74. That definitely would have been on my list if it came out in 75!

now that caught my attention ... I love Paganotti's bass work with Magma (the Live album would have been on my expanded list of top '75 albums). Haven't heard Paga... another one for my notepad hahahahha. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Check out the review here: http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/display.php?rev=bp-paga - http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/display.php?rev=bp-paga It's a little slick (later Paga albums - he turned the album name into a band name - are even more so) but still really good. ------------- http://www.progreviews.com/">
