My Top 10 .... 2017

I have to confess that I have not acquired a lot of 2017 releases yet, I've been catching up on filling in gaps in my collection and discovering artists from the past that are new to me. However, I'll play - and you'll have to excuse me if I include albums you don't consider to be prog - simply because I want to be like the rest of you and have 10 in my list!

I will stress that I'm only listing them from 1 through 10 because of peer pressure...


1 - Bjorn Riis - Forever Comes to an End
2 - Steve Wilson - To the Bone
3 - Richard Barbieri - Planets + Persona
4 - Tori Amos - Native Invader
5 - Mike Oldfield - Return to Ommadawn
6 - Big Big Train - Grimspound
7 - Bent Knee - Land Animal
8 - Peter Hammill - From the Trees
9 - GY!BE - Luciferian Towers
10 - Anathema - The Optimist
10.1 - King Crimson - Live in Chicago (who said I can't include a live album?)

Yes, these failed to make the top 10

Mute Gods - Tardigrades... (there's something about this I just can't put my finger on)
Lonely Robot - The Big Dream (it feels rushed, like it was necessary to release it as soon as possible after the debut)
Mastodon - Emperor of Sand
