When rating Prog albums I try to do so in a historical context, that is how an album compares against the musical ancestry. This means that the best album for any given year, which most people would rate with top marks may not receive the same rating in my charts as only the best albums of all time should get the highest ratings... This chart includes compilations, live albums and also any non-Prog albums I buy.

My Ratings:

I must say that 2009 proved to be another... challenging year for me. If it weren't for these songs and these albums from these artists, I'm sure that I would be alot more... unstable than i am now...

The ALBUMS:

"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" ~ Mariah Carey
Fuk the masses. They are sheep. But I am a (tentative) lamb. This album is hands down my favorite MiMi offering since... since... well... since the 90s. Rapperless since the mid-90s. & the first almost-mood album of her career (the dreadful "Obsessed" ruined that flow) proves that this woman is a true artist when she has a THEME that she's working with (see Butterfly or Glitter). Here's to more concept-driven endeavors from Ms. Carey-Cannon.
