Alright, as we near the end of this first Y2K decade, it's time to take a look back at all the best Albums that have been released in the last 40+ years.

I'll start off this extensive research with 2000, up until 2009. I'll then go back to 1980, all the way up to 1999, to then wrap things up with the 70s and before.

I'll be choosing my Top 25 Albums for each year; an ordered Top 10, and ~15 others worth mentioning. I'm also considering the live albums and EPs (~5), but they have their own section since songs on these have usually been released on official releases. The final result will be a Top 1000 for Official Albums, and Top ~250 for Live/EP albums.

These are general rankings of how I see them today, and based on my Last.FM songs playcounts (2005-now) put through the formula:

Total Sum of each Album's Song's (running time X playcount)
DIVIDED BY
Album's Total Running Time

Thanks to MediaMonkey and its amazing scripting abilities, that formula gives an Album's REAL playcount, taking into consideration every song's lenght & playcount in relation to the overall album's lenght and # of songs on it.
You'll see the result (# of times I've really listened to an album since 2005) besides each, along with my 10* Rating. (x/x)
Besides each Year, you get the Total of all Albums' Playcounts and the average of all Albums' Ratings. (x / %)

Note that I haven't necessarily discovered and enjoyed all these albums on their released years, some I discovered years later. So these are also based on how important (to me) some of these albums were at the time.

(**) are the complete albums I was into at that time;
(*) are albums that contained only a few song(s) I was into or listened to at that time;
and those without (*) are albums I discovered years later.

Prog-Spacy: Alex Lifeson / Virgil Donati / Geddy Lee / Kevin Moore

1. How did you get into 29? Kamelot
I think I found them out by friends recommendation in 2003. After that, I was so addicted to them. When they released The Black Halo in 2005, I must have played that 10 times on day of release. One of my favorite Progressive/Power Metal bands for sure.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? Týr
That would be just like every other Týr fan: Hail to the Hammer. :P

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? Turisas
From the track: Cursed be Iron
"Did thy father, or thy mother
Did the eldest of thy brothers
Did the youngest of thy sisters
Did the worst of all thy kindred"

4. What is your favorite album by 49? Equilibrium
Sagas without a doubt. Mana is one of the most epic songs ever. Just imagine Wintersun made a 16 minute song, it would sound a little like this. :P

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? Ensiferum
All four:
Ensiferum
Iron
Victory Songs
From Afar
Their EP:
Dragonheads :D

6. What is your favorite song by 50? Vital Remains
Dechristianize for sure.
Dave Suzuki is awesome.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? Rage
Beauty is a track that can be pretty sad. It's the saddest part of 'Suite Lingua Mortis', to my knowledge. You really need to hear this 21 minute Progressive Metal piece (Suite Lingua Mortis, not Beauty of course) btw, it's epic.

8. What is your favorite album by 15? Korpiklaani
Tales Along This Road of course. This was Korpiklaani at their best so far.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? Opeth
Forest of October without a doubt. It's pure awesomeness. :D

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? Edge of Sanity
Crimson because it's just so good. I smile every time i hear this epic piece :D

11. What is your favorite album by 40? Akercocke
Choronzon obviously.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? Black Sabbath
Ah the almighty Sabbath.Don't care what anyone says, Dio was better in Sabbath than Ozzy, even though I like both. My favorite track is: Die Young.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? Carcass
Yep. Seeing them live at Bloodstock Open Air 2009, of course. :D

14. What is your favorite song by 38? Wintersun
It would have to be: Winter Madness because amazing solo is amazing.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? Children of Bodom
Why yes, it's: Kissing the Shadows. Seriously, who can deny the awesomeness in that solo?

16. How many times have you seen 25 live? Symphony X
Once, opening for Dream Theater. What a dream line up that was.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? Metallica
Errm...controversial band. :P
I believe my first track to be Creeping Death. It's been a favorite of mine for about 7 or 8 years.

18. What is your favorite album by 11? Tarot
It's got to be Suffer Our Pleasures literally for the song Rider of the Last Day, otherwise my favorite would be Follow Me Into Madness. I believe Marco Hietala could be God, if he exists whether he's in Tarot, Northern Kings or Nightwish, his music is pure awesomeness.

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? Dream Theater
You seriously want me to pick between John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, James LaBrie, John Myung and Mike Portnoy? Well I'll pick Petrucci but only because he could co into World domination mode. Though Rudess can probably open portals with his keyboarding skills, but LaBrie can break things and people with his high F's in Learning To Live. Myung, that Korean could probably control nuclear weapons with his bass guitar. Portnoy could create Black Holes with his time sig changes while drumming. Let's face it, Dream Theater will probably be what is behind 2012 and the so-called "end of the world" ;P Ok, I pick Petrucci.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live? Alice in Chains
Nope, going to in December maybe though.

21. What is a good memory involving 27? Porcupine Tree
Listening to The Incident for the first time is the last good memory I had with this brilliant band. Which was in September so =)

22. What is your favorite song by 16? Bloodbath
That would obviously be Bathe in Blood. I love the guitar tone on it and Mikael's growls are awesome.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? Jeff Loomis
It was Devil Theory I believe. Jeff only has one album out anyway but this is my first and my favorite by him. One of the greatest guitarists ever and I place him next to the likes of Michael Romeo and John Petrucci for that.

24. What is your favorite album by 18? Kreator
Even though most plays are for the newer albums, nothing they release will be better than Extreme Aggression. That is my favorite album by Kreator.

25. What is your favorite song by 21? Edguy
It's gotta be We Don't Need a Hero. Great band this.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? Satyricon
It was Mother North. I just happened upon the video and it was awesome. :D

27. What is your favorite album by 3? Nevermore
Nevermore's This Godless Endeavor has to be my favorite. Seriously, it's just awesome and I think these guys get better every album. Lets hope The Obsidian Conspiracy is better. :D

28. What is you favorite song by 2? Iron Maiden
My favorite band despite being second most played. :D
This has to be a four way tie between Hallowed Be Thy Name, Fear of the Dark, Only the Good Die Young and Caught Somewhere in Time.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? Avantasia
It was this beautiful track called Farewell.

30. What is your favorite song by 8? Helloween
That would be the 13 minute Power Metal masterpiece: Halloween. Kai Hansen is awesome.

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? Amon Amarth
Twice. Third time coming up this Sunday.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? The Agonist
I'd say Business Suits and Combat Boots because it helped my find the band.

33. What is your favorite album by 12? Ayreon
It has to be The Human Equation. That album is not only Arjen's finest piece of work, but it's an album in my top 5. James LaBrie, Heather Findlay, Mike Baker, Mikael Åkerfeldt and the rest, they all just rocked. I wanna listen to it now... :D

34. What is the worst song by 45? Gamma Ray
There isn't one bad song.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? Guns N' Roses
I believe that to be Paradise City. It's one of those songs I heard as a little chillen.

36. What is your favorite album by 48? Evile
Infected Nations by miles.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live? Mastodon
Once, I believe.

38. What is your favorite song by 36? HammerFall
It's gotta be a 3 way tie between Natural High, Templars of Steel and Stronger Than All.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? Norther
I believe it to be Last Breath.

40. What is your favorite album by 7? Megadeth
Has to be So Far, So Good...So What!. It's definitely Mustaine's finest piece of work and it's underrated as hell.

41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? Sonata Arctica
What? Almost all Sonata Arctica songs make me werry werry happeh! :D This mostly though Wolf & Raven.

42. What is your favorite album by 41? Katatonia
The almighty Brave Murder Day wins. :D I do like all Katatonia though. I see people bitch about them "going soft" and whatever. :P

43. What is your favorite song by 24? Warrel Dane
It's gotta be Messenger or When We Pray. Either way, they're both catchy as hell and well written. Dane is a great lyricist.

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? Darkthrone
Hearing A Blaze in the Northern Sky for the first time.

45. What is your favorite song by 35? Tenacious D
Has to be Master Exploder. Jack Black is cool. :D

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? System of a Down
Of course. There's loads :D but I would have to say most of all Vicinity of Obscenity because it's so damn hilarious.

47. What is your favorite album by 4? Pink Floyd
I love the Floyd. My favorite would have to be either Meddle or The Wall.
Echoes is such a fantastic song.

48. Who is a favorite member of 37?Rage Against the Machine
Zach De La Rocha is the man.
"FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!"

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? Candlemass
I think that was Mirror Mirror. The riffs are so heavy on that, it's awesome.


50. How many albums do you own by 20? Alestorm
I own all 2 albums. Both great.

Fri 23 Oct – Progressive Nation 2009




Si, lo vivimos, estuvimos alli. El mayor festival itinerante de musica progresiva visitaba Madrid


Acompañado de dos amiguetes, aparecimos por la cubierta a eso de las 2 de la tarde, encontrando a un grupo no muy numeroso de gente mas madrugadores de nosotros. Tras la busqueda de un kebab por parte de Pablo y mia, Petru ya se habia echo colega de un grupo de albacete y de una chica de Estepona. Las horas entonces se nos pasaron volando.

A las 6 de la tarde, abrieron puertas y tras un cacheo y muestra de entrada, entramos como locos corriendo hacia el escenario. Conseguimos un hueco en la primera fila, un poco escorados a la izquierda, con la intencion de tener cerca a Myung y a Rudess.

Innauguraron el Progressive Nation la banda de Death/Black sinfonico progresiva Unexpect. La banda con una estética muy cuidada, sobre todo el bajista y la cantante, sufrió el maldito eco de la cubierta de leganés que nos fastidiaria la noche hasta la llegada de las dos bandas mayores. Mostraron sus capacidades y la verdad es que son un conjunto muy interesante, que pueden aportar novedades a esto llamado Metal. Con una actuacion de poco mas de media hora, dejaron el escenario.

A continuación y tras el descanso correspondiente, viajamos en el tiempo a la decada de los setenta. Sobre el escenario destacaban dos organos Hammond, y una bateria simple con un logo psicodélico: Bigelf. Se apagaron las luces y para sorpresa de todos, no sono otra cosa que la Marcha Imperial de la guerra de las galaxias, que fue coreada por toda la multitud alli congregada. Aparecieron los musicos, la verdad cons pintas, el lider (cantante y teclista) nos deleitaba con traje de terciopelo y sombrero de copa, mientras que el bateria era un completo hippie de woodstock y el bajista lucia unos negros pantalones de campana y un look a lo Tony Iommi. El sonido de la cubierta no les respetó demasiado, pero la verdad es que su musica fusión de Pink Floydcon Black Sabbath suena realmente interesante. Bienvenidos sean de nuevo los setenta.

Y la gente se preparaba para lo gordo. Gran cantidad del publico baja de las gradas al ruedo de la plaza, y Opeth salió a escena. Heir Aparrent fue la cancion de su brutal inicio, siendo Watershed el disco mas tocado, incluyendo en el set list Lotus Eatery Hex Omega. Me fascinó especialmente Windowpane, que no habia podido disfrutar la ultima vez que les vi en la sala Heineken. Akerfeldt es un total genio y un magnifico front man, que se gana al publico rapidamente con sus chistes y comentarios inteligentes. El viernes nos felicito la navidad, ademas de confesarnos que fue el profesor de Petrucci, y que le escribe las partituras a Rudess. La voz de este hombre es algo a tener muy encuenta, es de un nivel melódico impresionante capaz de calmar a cualquier bestia, teniendo a su vez una capacidad de cambio increible, pudiendo llegar al gutural mas poderoso. La musica de Opeth como siempre una auténtica delicia. La oscudridad hecha melodia. Por cierto, ¡Pua de premio!


Finalmente llegaba el plato fuerte: Dream Theater. Se hizo la oscuridad absoluta y empezo a sonar una lluvia, seguida de una tormente enorme con focos simulando potentes rayos. Cayó el telón negro que habia servido de fondo para las demás bandas del festival, y se nos mostró un fondo de nubes de lluevia (black clouds ^^) y una enorme pantalla para proyecciones. Aparecieron los cuatro musicos estadounidenses, y arrancaron con A Nightmare to Remember. El canadiense James Labrie salio a escena como loco, aunque en esta ocasión estuvo más discreto que en su actuación en el Palacio de deportes, debido en parte a los largos pasajes instrumentales con los que nos deleitaron. Sorpresón en el setlist con The Mirror y Lie unidas de manera maravillosa, y sobre todo con ese Pull Me Under, que tan pocas veces se puede disfrutar en directo. El Greatest Hit del grupo fue coreado a mas no poder por el publico, a causa de lo cual mi garganta aun se resiente, y los musicos se sentian mas agustos que nunca. Rudess ataviado con su sombrero de mago hizo genialidades, e incluso aprovecho aplicaciones personalizadas de su iPhone para deleitarnos con los sonidos más extravagantes. Pero si en el concierto del palacio habian sido John Petrucciy Jordan Rudess los grandes protagonistas, esta vez fueron la parte ritmica, Mike Portnoy y John Myung, los heroes de la noche. El bajista estuvo espectácular, y más activo de lo que acostumbra, eso si, siempre de forma discreta, encambia Mike, aparte de lanzar guturales a modo de coros cada cierto tiempo, se dio un paseo alrededor de su enorme bateria de tres bombos, tocando de pie, e hizo maravillas con sus baquetas (momento epico ese en el que lanzo una baqueta a un pipa y esta le fue devuelta con fuerza.cogiendola y golpeando con ella como si nada hubiese pasado). Acabaron la primera parte coreados por el publico, pero todos esperabamos la sorpresa final. Y llego en forma de masterpiece progresivo. The Count of Tuscany fue la canción de cierre del concierto. Un maravilla epica de 20 minutos, que en directo fue pura delicia para los oidos y la vista. El pasaje entre teclado y guitarra a lo Pink Floyd consiguió arrancarme una lagrima de emoción, y lo que le siguió, esos 6 ultimos minutos son el final perfecto, no mejores palabras para describirlo, pero esta pieza musical realmente me fascina.

Acabó el Progressive Nation 2009 y nos quedará para siempre su maravilloso recuerdo.

Esperemos que este festival vuelva otra vez a Europa, y que tenga su parad por Madrid.


Si hay que ponerle alguna pega, desde luego es el lugar, La cubierta no esta pensada para conciertos de calidad.
Y tambien, por pedir, que Opeth hubiese colaborado con Dream Theater. Ver a Akerfeldt cantar con los americanos podria ser maravilloso.

Opeth:

Heir Apparent
Reverie / Harlequin Forest
The Lotus Eater
Windowpane
Deliverance
Hex Omega

Dream Theater:

A Nightmare to Remember
The Mirror
Lie
Keyboard Solo
A Rite of Passage
The Dance of Eternity
Solitary Shell
Pull Me Under

Encore: The Count of Tuscany
