Earlier today, I had the privilege of posting my ten favorite prog albums of 2015.  This is part II, the final part.

Greatest PROG Man of the Year: Chris Thompson, President of Radiant and all-around incredible guy.

Greatest PROG Band of the Year: Glass Hammer for releasing not only its best album to date, BREAKING OF THE WORLD, but also releasing DOUBLE LIVE, an album so good it could’ve been an original (as in all new) release.

Greatest PROG EP of the Year: Big Big Train, WASSAIL.  The perfect EP.  Tasteful and satisfying, but still leaving us wanting more.

Greatest PROG Live Album of the Year: Galahad, SOLIDARITY.  Few bands can record live as well as Galahad.  Always the perfect show.

Greatest PROG Instrumental EP of the Year: The Fierce and the Dead, MAGNET.  Matt and Co. simply are incapable of doing wrong.  At least when it comes to music.

Greatest PROG Instrumental Album of the Year: Arcade Messiah II.  He might call himself a muppet, but John Bassett is one of the most interesting musicians alive.  Whether he’s writing music or lyrics, he’s pretty much at the top.
