PRLog - July 16, 2015 - The Prog Report released its ranking of the top 50 Albums of the Modern Prog era, 1990-2015 and Prog Metal Icons Dream Theater come out on top with their 1992 sophomore album "Images and Words." Steven Wilson's "The Raven That Refused to Sing" was #2 and another Dream Theater album "Metropolis 2: Scenes From a Memory" was #3.
About the list, The Prog Report says: "All lists of Top Prog albums are dominated by bands from the 70’s like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd and King Crimson and rightfully so as those are the originals and and some of the best albums ever made. There has also been incredible music made since those bands stopped making music by a host of newer bands. These 'Modern Prog' bands are often left off best of lists and not recognized. So we decided to make a list of the Top 50 Prog albums of the Modern Prog era, the last 25 years 1990-2015.
"During that span, bands like Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Spock’s Beard, Opeth and others took the groundwork laid by those pioneering bands of the 70’s and infused heavier guitars, modern instrumentation, and even longer songs."
Other artists featured include Neal Morse, Spock's Beard, Opeth, Tool, Queensryche, Transatlantic and many more.
