This Year in Prog

[durga2112]

Just wanted to say that I am really enjoying this show. I have been fortunate enough to catch it the last 2 weeks, and it is interesting to know both how much of this stuff is in my own collection, and also how much great prog I have been unaware of.

Do you ever take suggestions for what years to feature on the show?

[FKYES]

Sure. So far we did 69-79, 2003 and 2003.

I checked and it's friday 2 - 5. Meaning I miss all of it! Bah humbug

Sure. So far we did 69-79, 2003 and 2003.

Well, looking through my admittedly small prog collection, 1998 looks like it would be a good year to feature. Dream Theater, Rush, and Fates Warning all released excellent live albums. Liquid Tension Experiment and Platypus both released their first albums. Marillion's underrated Radiation was released. Also, Chroma Key's Dead Air for Radios was released.

I think that's it from my collection, but I'm sure you could add a lot of great stuff to that list.

Also, my favourite album ever, DT's Awake, was released in 1994. I would be interested to see how other stuff from that year sounds. Similarly, Images and Words seems to be one of the (if not THE) "benchmark" albums in progressive metal, so 1992 might be an interesting year as well.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope I will be able to continue catching this show.
