Scot, Good selection. I'm going to continue watching your videos in the next few days, of course, but I salute you to make sure I don't forget. Merry Christmas and have a nice New Year you and your family!!!!!

[@TheProgCorner]

Thank you!!!!

[@danielfuentes3226]

[@PJprog]

Drifting Sun are indeed a very cool collective. Great stuff The Thing !! And the Ritual album as a whole one of my albums of the year. Cheers Scot !! 😍🎵🎵🤘 Can't wait for Sunday 😃

[@TheProgCorner]

Should be awesome!!!!

[@morrisgautreau6704]

Very soon, once I get the time, which I will get sometime this week before the year is over, I'll be making a Spotify playlist of all these songs you mentioned on this video. And, I still got your video of your 'Top 25 Prog Albums Of 2024' bookmarked and will be getting to each one throughout 2025. I'm thinking, if I do one album per week, I could do them all before the 1st of July!

Great episode. For me, "Third Rail" by Circuline is the 2024 Song Of The Year. Amazing songcraft and production, along with great performances by every member of the band.

[@TheProgCorner]

👍👍👍

[@bbchronicles736]

Great List! And great to see Barock Project and Albion get songs on the list. Both of those albums are in my top 5 albums of the year (Barock Project is #1), and both have songs on my best songs list, with Summer Set You Free at #1. I have a different Albion song (Dream of Rhonabwy) on my list, but there are several great ones. My favorite from Ritual would be Chichikov Bogd. Nice to see some different bands featured on this list.

[@TheProgCorner]

I try to mix it up a little!!!!

[@entil2001]

Great selections! But I shocked nothing from the Big Big Train album was on the list. “Miramare” would probably be my song of the year.

[@TheProgCorner]

EPIC OF THE YEAR is coming next week and I bet BBT will be there…

[@jeffschielka7845]

Hey Scot! Have to vote twice for Unsung Hero. You are up against Jim Newstead. You both are AWESOME!!! The Prog Corner ROCKS❗️❗️❗️👍☮️👑🐍🙏😎

[@TheProgCorner]

Understandable!!!!!

[@jeffschielka7845]

​@@TheProgCorner👍😎

[@cbn6635]

Great picks, Scott! 👍 My favorite song of the year is easily 'Holy Holy' by Geordie Greep; so clever, both musically, but also lyrically AND damn catchy at the same time! 👌

[@TheProgCorner]

Amazing song!!!!!!

[@gorancabrajic3240]

Great list , I can never pick a song from an album , I always listen to the entire thing 😂. Cheers and prog on my friend.

[@TheProgCorner]

It’s a fool’s errand with Prog!!!!

[@gorancabrajic3240]

@TheProgCorner I agree.

[@sebulban]

Before watching… Beneath the mast for me 😊

[@bobsala7780]

Beneath The Masts by Big Big Train is probably going to be on Scot's next list because at 17 minutes long it qualifies as an epic. It is certainly one of my top songs of the year.

[@TheProgCorner]

You know it will be on Monday’s EPIC OF THE YEAR episode.

[@Ericmeredith3209]

Ritual!! 2nd favorite record of this year!🤘

[@TheProgCorner]

And number one was…

[@Ericmeredith3209]

@ Frost Life in the Wires!

[@AllMediaReviewsPodcast]

Barock Project!..great tune. My favorite track is probably "Propaganda" off that record. Love the smooth Steely-Dan-like vibe on it with the Sax,

[@TheProgCorner]

What an album!!!

[@MusicVersa]

Your #16 is my #1... [edit] Just checked out that Bardic Depths song and it's lovely. Real BBT vibes.

[@TheProgCorner]

Such a beautiful track!

[@Mister_Jahn]

So glad Focus is still at it and relevant. Taking the long approach, though I still miss Akkerman (He is one of my faves sooo).

[@TheProgCorner]

Akkerman is a god.

[@markspooner1224]

That's a fine list, still waiting for Drifting Sun - Veil to come out on vinyl.

[@TheProgCorner]

Right???

[@markspooner1224]

I only just heard that Jon Camp passed away last Friday, such a fine bassist and musician.

[@TheProgCorner]

I hadn’t heard! That sucks.

[@mythoflogic]

😔

[@richardfurness7556]

Heard a track last week by Geordie Greep on Just JP's wonderfully eclectic reaction channel - Handl, Hatfield and the North or Heaven 17, you never know what's coming next - and I was rather impressed. I haven't had time to check out his musical history, which seems fascinating, I'm still catching up with Rozi Plain, the find of the decade as far as I'm concerned. For anyone who'd like to explore new music that embodies the prog ethos - if not necessarily its content - look no further than the Memphis Industries channel here on KZbin. They don't do stuff that isn't the real deal.

[@TheProgCorner]

Great channel!!!

[@ilabelle1]

I haven't heard of 95% of this stuff never mind actually listening to these albums. I've been hunting around for that Solaris album though. I cant seem to find a digital version. I'm also interested in that Focus album. I have to admit Scot that it gets a little overwhelming at times trying stay abreast with all this new stuff. I just don't have the hours in a day to listen to everything not to mention the money it all costs. You could go bankrupt. I actually prefer to focus on certain albums and get to know them well as opposed to giving everything a cursory listen and never listen to it again. I'm pretty old skool I guess. Ya gotta pick your battles Scot. I can safely say that the track that I am getting familiar with the most is Once Upon a Dream from True. The more I listen to this album the more I'm loving it.

[@TigerMtnKing]

🤩

[@jeffschielka7845]

Hey Scot! Nothing from TRUE? Really? Thought you might go with Counties and Countries or Thank God. I know Once Upon A Dream will be on your Epics list. It better be! Lol!!!👍😎

[@TheProgCorner]

I wonder…

[@jeffschielka7845]

​@@TheProgCornerYou know!👍😎
