This is the list of my favourite progressive metal/rock albums of the decade. I decided to do this list because a new decade is starting, so it's a good time to look back. Beware, this is not a "best progressive metal albums of the decade" list, it's my favourites, not necessarily the ones that were the best for everyone else or me.

1.Riverside - Out Of Myself

2.Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

3.Riverside - Second Life Syndrome

4.Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

5.Opeth - Blackwater Park

4.Deadlock - Wolves

5.DGM - Different Shapes

Having seen 171 performances by 152 bands at 23 concerts and 10 festivals in 2009 I thought it might be a nice idea to keep a tally about the best live bands of the year. So here it is, my very own run-off of the 30 best performances in 2009.

Btw, the guy on the left is the fiddler of #9.

Some EPs out there are really just throw away tracks, and others are just demo tracks, but there are some EPs that are pure gold. These EPs are albums that despite lacking in song count, lack nothing in quality, and become an essential part of the bands discography, these are the EPs that I believe belong in that last category. These appear in no specific order.

1.Apothys - Advent: Doom

2.Disillusion - The Porter

3.Disillusion - Three Neuron Kings

4.Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons

5.Ensiferum - Dragonheads
