Prog Report: Top 50 Prog Albums 1990-2015 (July 2015)

Post by Pierre »

Here's a list from a website called Prog Report. It looks like a staff list, but I don't know the general eligibility criteria.

They also issued a book with a similar title and purpose, Essential Modern Progressive Rock Albums: Images and Words Behind Prog's Most Celebrated Albums 1990-2016 authored by their editor, Roie Avin:

It's probably very similar to the list I'm transcribing here, but a few of the album covers on the book cover aren't featured in this top, so it should present some differences. I don't want to pay for the book, so it will be yours to track down, guys (unless its entry on Google Books updates with a table of contents/index).

Here's the list on the website:
