Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

YES IT'S TIME TO VOTE AGAIN FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Ladies and gentlemen (and Jim) it's time to vote for album of the year for 2016.

The procedure is the same as every year. Please chose your best 10 albums or less and number them in order 1 to 10 - please use the number in the list. Post them in a PM to RogorMortis or vote via our Facebook page "Aural Moon Album of the Year 2016" If one of your choices is not in the list below please draw attention to this and the album will be added if it qualifies - released 1/12/2015 - 30/11/16 and not a compilation.

Voting will close on January 19.

There wil be a draw amongst the voters for 3 CD's.

The album of the year show will be on January 21th 2017 at 21.00 UK-time or 3 pm EST. The show will be repeated at a later date TBC. However we will be transmitting live from 15.00 UK-time (09.00am EST) up to the show, playing a lot of near misses from 2016 and some old favorites, playing tribute to those many who have left us in 2016.

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

4 of my top ten were on the list. Surprised Bowie was #1 and also surpised Seven Impale did'nt make it. Missed the show and sorry there will not be a replay. Good job to all the administrators and thank you for your hard work.

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

If possible, I would like to see a list of the albums that didn't make the top 20 that had two or more votes(assuming there isn't too many).

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

wow - really surprised to see jack o' the clock so high. they were on my list, but i thought i was in the (vast) minority. glad to see i'm wrong (again)

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

I did not even get the "minority"...I thought that at least Naima and ESP were Top 20,,, am I a auralmooner :-)

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

I believe that to some degree it's all subjective and it depends on personal taste and preferences. Someone who likes neo or symph wouldn't like certain stuff and vice versa. That being said I'm sure there was a lot of quality in all the various subgenres of prog releases this year.

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

David Bowie is #1 is he even considered prog?

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

I would say he had at least one foot in the prog door. I don't think all his stuff would qualify but certain some of it especially some of his really early stuff and then his later Berlin period. I haven't heard his very last one but apparently that is rather proggy. As for his over all prog connection Rick Wakeman, Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew all played on some of his albums.

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

They should have a follow up album of the year show for albums that were listened to after submitting our lists. For example, I just got around to listening to Red Sand - 1759 and must say that it may have cracked my original top ten list. I like it that much. There are other 2016 releases I am sure to get around to listen to coming up as well.

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

Muchas gracias por esta sorpresa, me habéis alegrado mi mañana (a little of translating xoxo) On this weekend I didn't read last post and today on my beginning i saw message r:)

A misterious cd from Prog Inquisition! I imagine some of darkprog gregorian or maybe some prog goliardo...

I don't mind in either case :p :)

Thanks, Moonfolks!

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

I was looking at the top 20 from PROG magazine(in the issue with Vangelis on the cover)and noticed that only five albums from their list are on the AM top 20. Those would be the Big Big Train, Riverside, Pineapple Thief, Gong and Bent Knee albums. Not on the AM(aural moon)list but on there are albums by Marillion, Opeth, Radiohead, VDGG, Anderson/Stolt, Iamthemorning, Knifeworld, Haken and Dream Theater among others.

Re: Moon O'poll 2016 - Album Of The Year
 

I keep playing Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness over and over and over. I should have made that my #1
