So, I've decided instead of going through Year-by-Year chronologically from 1965, instead in the interest of participation, to pick years RANDOMLY.
So I'm doing that with a Random Number Generator (from 1965-2021)
I did that the other day, and the
Year 2000 came up.
My favorite songs/tracks from the Year 2000 is largely filled with a handful of my favorite albums of that year/of all-time in some ways. Kevin Gilbert, Pain of Salvation and Fates Warning albums have a large number of songs I really love, thus I couldn't see not including them.
Also it seems between Transatlantic, Fates Warning, Spock's Beard and The Flower Kings, there were several very notable prog Epics in the Year 2000, which it seems started a pattern, that wasnt as present in the previous decade. Why? unsure, but maybe the Prog/Prog Metal scene started to desire to write long pieces again?..even say Godspeed You Black Emperor of course released the Lift Your Skinny Fists album that had 4 of them, 1 that is on my list "Storm."
