Solely based on my listening habits in 2017. These probably aren't "the best" records of the year, merely my favorites!!!Originally Posted by battema
Wow...I can't agree with many of his picks, but in all sincerity it's a surprisingly varied selection that doesn't skew heavily toward or against any particular "flavor." So props to him for that

And I used to be a 100% Symph Weenie. See what you people have done to me!?!?!

Did u write this? Very good list.
I am disappointed though. I thought initially that an "outsider" wrote it. And that good prog exists beyond the confones of PE
Nice list, good reviews, well done. (No apologies for beating the avant drum)

The King Gizzard review was funny, but DMT is not active orally. Unless one takes it with certain MAOI plants or substances.

Look, Scot man! Next year your whole list will consist solely of scumbag-weirdo fringe-freak prog shit, alright? Or else...!!
Seriously, there are always new names and things to discover - no matter your outset. And it rarely implies a recession so dramatic that it eradicates your "previous" preferences, although as you advance you may feel some new perspectives coming on. Me, I'm still a Yes fan (well, of the older stuff anyway) - but on other terms and grounds than I was back in 1987. It's what humanity renders of you.

Yep, didn't realize this was your list. Seriously, I'm impressed with the range of selections. Very cool
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Obviously To The Bone will be atop everyone's list. Probably no need to even proceed with this thread.Wow, you really dislike To the Bone, don't you?
Santa! Take note!

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
And here am I thinking he and Thymme J. were already the same person.
