25 modern (2006 - 2016) prog metal albums. Vote for your favourite. List taken from RYM's chart with no repeat bands. In this one I skipped over any albums that I thought were obviously more power, black, death, core based etc.

Devin Townsend's Ziltoid, one of the few prog metal albums I really like.

Also, Meshuggah is not prog metal!

Which I will never understand, and I don't think the band themselves will ever understand either (They reject being called "djent"). LOL

Seventh Wonder, one of my all time favorite prog albums. There's many other cases here where I like the band, but album in question isn't really a favorite.

Some good candidates here! The albums that have been most influential to me are Devin's Ziltoid the Omniscient and Wolverine's Still, with Haken's The Mountain as a runner-up.

A tough choice so many great albums - Symphony X, Mastodon, Enslaved, Riverside to name a few, but I'll go for Opeth - Watershed.

I had to go with Redemption - Snowfall On Judgement Day. Absolutely love that album, probably my album of 2009. Skyforger is close in that regard though.

I also love the Symphony X, Seventh Wonder (The Great Escape is better and would've gotten my vote in this poll, however), Opeth, Amorphis and Haken albums too.

this is a cool pollClap

I don't know them all, a couple I don't even like but out of the ones I know, Redemption got my vote. Snowfall... is great, my favorite from the band.
