^Oh hell I�ve put in a list. I can�t say I�ve been very focused on progressive rock/ metal in 2010 though, so there wasn�t that many releases to consider in my case. I even had to include The Final Frontier because I couldn�t think of anything else.

I assume that means recent events and I'll add you are not the only one by a long distance

Agreed, thanks Colin.
I have, however, amended the thread to an announcement rather than a sticky as I believe it is more important than that.

Sorry for being a party-pooper but I'm a quite disappointed with this list. Not that I'd disagree with the quality of the albums as such but ALL of them are PA-metal; there's not one real metal album Edited by bonnek - 21 Feb 2011 at 1:14pm |

So metal that is in a prog database is not real metal? |

What he might be trying to say is that in his opinion prog isn't a real metal genre. |

I'm sure all bonnek was referring to was that pretty much every band on the list were/are on PA. It just so happens that most of the collabs here are also members at Prog Archives, so the tastes might lean a bit towards the "proggy" metal bands. As more people who are not on PA take interest in this site and want to apply to be a collab, the list could shift away from this trend. In a sense, I know what (I think) he means, and agree. Maybe some grindcore, glam, alternative, etc. will crack the list next year. I like a good variety.
Then again, just because I am (or someone else is) also a PA member, it doesn't mean they're going to vote for all prog metal albums. Each collab submitted one list (with equal weight per collab), and several of us included bands that wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell in making it on Prog Archives. To be completely honest, my top 5 included nothing but PA bands, but 2011 could be different. Edited by Stooge - 23 Feb 2011 at 10:50pm |

This. And being a bit obnoxious by putting my statement so black and white of course. After all this is the metal-me here, not the proggy-mellow-artsy-fartsy-me I haven't been on MMA since it started and I had hoped it would have cut itself loose from its PA-roots by now, but it will take a bit more time probably. I think I'll try to do my bit by stopping to copy-in my PA reviews and focus on 'real-metal' ones, though it may be a lot of old-man-metal like Megadeth, Testament, Celtic Frost and so (damn i'm making even more enemies now) Edited by bonnek - 24 Feb 2011 at 6:23am |

The 1 billion $ question for PMT members! We could spend the rest of our lives discussing this, but I always put it quite simply like this: What I teasingly call 'real metal' is: - being more metal then the band next door, that is being heavier, sleazier, more aggressive or more evil - sounding exactly like any other random metal band. Prog metal is about - adding non-metal elements such as Prog, Jazz, Avant to the metal sound and song structure - or sounding exactly like another Prog-metal band who did so. And of course it's no exact science. Meshuggah is heavier, more aggressive and more evil then anything else but they also add non-metal bits. Edited by bonnek - 24 Feb 2011 at 7:53am |

So Iron Maiden, Atheist, and Enslaved aren't real metal? Good luck getting that message out to the masses! |

Iron Maiden isn't prog, lol.
The others prove my point exactly, much more then just metal. Anyway, I did my bit, if you want to make this place into a Prog Metal Archives, go ahead. Edited by bonnek - 24 Feb 2011 at 4:09pm |

I don't think that's what the case is, those were just legitimately our favourite metal albums from this year. I didn't hear any, say, death metal or doom metal from 2010 that I found particularly impressive. Besides, I can't speak for the other members but the reason I'm in the sludge/post and avant teams is because that's where most of my favourite metal lies. Those two subgenres are, by your definitions, progressive, and I can't help it if that's what I find most appealing |

I'll try to rephrase again, I'm not attacking anybody's choices, a couple of those albums would be in my top 10 as well, I'm just saying that if a metal fan will see this list he'll say, "oh that's a prog metal site, not interested". Oh and the best metal album of the year was easily Tryptikon's Eparistera Daimones |
