Experiments In Mass Appeal Featured In Top 100 Of 2009 2nite

[gagliarchives]

Join the gagliarchives, at 10PM Eastern Time, for program 1137, a special edition.
Tonight begins the top 100 of 2009! Tonight is part 1 of our 3 part annual program, that highlights the 100 most popular voted releases by you, our listeners within the genres of progressive rock, progressive metal, avant-garde, and fusion. We'll spotlight music from Transatlantic, Upsilon Acrux, Peter Hammill, Forgotten Sons, and so many others.

The GlobalProgressive Rock Network's top 100 is a tradition on the program since 1995 and for the last 11 years, it's been driven by the votes of you, our listeners. There were over 1000 related releases within the genres and many, many great releases at that. Tonight we will cover #100 to #67. Next Saturday on December 5th, we'll track #66 to #31, and Saturday December 12th, #30 to #1. These programs will be replayed the following Tuesday of each broadcast at http://auralmoon.com from 11am EST to 3pm EST and will be available for podcast as well.
There were some great releases this year. So good that some of my personal favorites didn't make the list! But I know many of yours did! ...please enjoy these programs as these are our most listened to, year after year. Thanks for all your votes, emails, questions, thanks, and ultimately your tunage...

Erm....I think EIMA was released in 2008 but what the hey, it's still good enough to be included (and so is Milliontown!!).

Well, it might be that it got released in the US in very early 2009 ?

[Pedro]

Ah, yes, that could be it. Good point, well made!

Well there's one for the books! It was in Mike Portnoy's top ten of 2008 so I assumed it was released over there in 2008 but I guess he's just a man with connections because Wikipedia says that it was released on January 19 in the US. Wow! So it can appear in two lots of end of year lists =) was that your plan all along Jem?
