Last Chance To Vote In The 2015 Prog Readers' Poll

Happy New Year to you all. Did you remember to vote in the 2015 Prog Readers’ Poll? If not, there’ still time…

So who floated your boat in 2015? Another year, and another extraordinary series of progressive releases from bands all striving to outdo their last work. Steven Wilson, Muse, David Gilmour and Public Service Broadcasting all had progressive music making serious inroads into the charts, and we saw the return of Jeff Lynne’s ELO. And indeed, prog now has it’s own Official Album Chart these days as well. King Crimson finally played some UK dates for the first time in almost 20 years, and there were some amazing live shows from Steven Wilson, David Gilmour and Ian Anderson, a new prog friendly festival in Ramblin’ Man, and old favourites from Summer’s End, HRH Prog and Cruise To The Edge. And your usual spread of compelling and engaging albums from established artists and newcomers alike…
