List one great album per year for the 2000s
« on: February 19, 2018, 06:46:36 AM »
Found this thread on progarchives and I thought it was interesting. Rules are:

1- It has to be prog.
2- You can't use the same band twice.


Here's my list:


2000: Estradasphere - It's Understood
2001: Maudlin Of The Well - Bath
2002: Pain Of Salvation - Remedy Lane
2003: Kayo Dot - Choirs Of The Eye
2004: Ayreon - The Human Equation
2005: Opeth - Ghost Reveries
2006: Uzva - Uoma
2007: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times
2008: Beardfish - Sleeping In Traffic Part Two
2009: Present - Barbaro (Ma Non Troppo)


Bonus:

2010: Haken - Aquarius
2011: Leprous - Bilateral
2012: Anathema - Weather Systems
2013: Gorguts - Colored Sands
2014: PoiL - Brossaklitt
2015: Guapo - Obscure Knowledge    or   Anekdoten - Until All The Ghosts Are Gone
2016: Free Salamander Exhibit - Undestroyed    or   Voivod - Post Society
2017: Major Parkinson - Blackbox    or   Ne Obliviscaris - Urn


It was hard.  :'(

I'm going to be pretty loose with the "prog" categorization as I just don't have enough. Also, certain years (2000/2002/2005/2007) were insanely tough to pick between bands. 2006 was probably my least "proggy" year in this decade as I really didn't have much from that genre.

2000: Enchant - Juggling 9 Or Dropping 10
2001: Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever
2002: The Flower Kings - Unfold The Future
2003: Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth:3
2004: Glass Hammer - Shadowlands
2005: dredg - Catch Without Arms
2006: Kaddisfly - Set Sail The Prairie
2007: The Dear Hunter - Act II: The Meaning Of....
2008: Moon safari - Blomljud
2009: Devin Townsend - Ki

Not my favorite albums by some of these bands, but I managed to still pick something for each year:
2000 - Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
2001 - Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever
2002 - Dream Theater - Six degrees of Inner Turbulence
2003 - Oceansize - Effloresce
2004 - Blackfield - s/t
2005 - Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
2006 - OSI - Free
2007 - Threshold - Dead Reckoning
2008 - Demians - Building an Empire
2009 - Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Probably because this board is focused more on prog, and to make it more of a challenge.

2002, 'Six Degrees', or 2005, 'Octavarium'.

(Sorry, but that's it for me.  Hell, the only 'new' releases I've purchased this century (other than DT) are Queen's 'Milton Keynes', 'Live at the Rainbow', and the decades overdue two disc BBC set.)

Would the 50th anniversary 'Sgt. Pepper' remix and demos count for 2017?  ;)   
...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

You can make a list with non-prog bands, if you want. But I think it will be even harder to pick an album per year.
