Top 20 Albums: The Divine
All time favorites. ENjoy this shit. |
| 1 |  | Kayo Dot
Choirs of the Eye
Easily the most emotional, inventive, and listenable album I've ever encountered.
It's sacred to me. |
| 2 |  | Big Big Train
The Underfall Yard
Another album that destroys me emotionally. These men are geniuses of prog. This
album is influenced heavily by 70's era Genesis, but features many other genres and
post-rock influence. |
| 3 |  | Animals as Leaders
Animals as Leaders
This album has always been a classic for me. It was one of the first to get me into
progressive music. Virtuoso guitar prog metal goodness of Tosin Abasi. |
| 4 |  | Cloudkicker
Beacons
This album has a wonderful aesthetic that I can't get anywhere else. Post-rock
influenced metal. |
| 5 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas...
This album struck me immediately. A journey through the heavenly limits of music.
Indescribable, highly recommended. |
| 6 |  | maudlin of the Well
Bath
Toby Driver lays out the gold-standard for metal in one album. Amazing and utterly
beautiful listen. |
| 7 |  | Opeth
My Arms, Your Hearse
My crown of death metal. Heavily atmospheric, intensely emotional. This is my
favorite Opeth record. |
| 8 |  | Kashiwa Daisuke
Program Music I
On this album, Kashiwa Daisuke blends neo-classical, post-rock, electronic, and
sounds that quite frankly can't be heard elsewhere, perfectly. Highly recommended. |
| 9 |  | My Bloody Valentine
Loveless
This album is pure love converted to sound. ATMOSPHERE. Don't let that name fool
you; the universe wants you to hear this. |
| 10 |  | Pekka Pohjola
Visitation
One of the most underrated albums on this list; do yourself a huge favor and just
listen to this. Jazz fusion meets a fantasy spirit world. |
| 11 |  | The Angelic Process
Weighing Souls with Sand
One of the few to have evoked tears from me. Listen with headphones. This album
holds the most epic and soul-crushing music I've ever heard. Super highly
recommended dog. |
| 12 |  | Cynic
Focus
You don't know jazz metal until you've heard this. Technical death metal legends
Cynic unleash a cosmic spew of beautiful alien jazz against technical metal. Yes
boy. |
| 13 |  | Frost*
Milliontown
Melodic prog rock at it's most grandiose. Heavily reliant on synth, this album will
undeniably take you places. |
| 14 |  | Genesis
Selling England by the Pound
Classic Genesis. Probably their best album. |
| 15 |  | Harmonium
Si On Avait Besoin d'une 5eme Saison
Beautiful prog rock from Quebec. Guaranteed satisfaction. |
| 16 |  | Soft Machine
Third
Extremely groundbreaking prog/ jazz fusion outfit. Their 1970 release features
everything from exotic jazz to inventive ambiance and everything in between. |
| 17 |  | Joe Hisaishi
Spirited Away
A beloved soundtrack from my childhood that still gives me the goosebumps. Utterly
brilliant. |
| 18 |  | Big Big Train
English Electric
BBT succeed again with an uplifting prog rock masterpiece that has everything you
would want from the genre. Just as good as The Underfall Yard. |
| 19 |  | maudlin of the Well
Leaving Your Body Map

| 20 |  | maudlin of the Well
