VOTE IN THE PROG READERS' POLL

How was your 2018? Proggy enough? We think so. True, there weren’t any new studio albums from big hitters like Steven Wilson, Opeth, Yes, Anathema or Marillion, but have a look at the Critics’ Choice on page 90 and you’ll see that there was plenty of fine progressive music released. A reminder that Prog Person Of The Year is a category for the artist that you believe has gone above and beyond in their chosen field: not simply your favourite artist who may not have done that much this year (there are other categories for that). And Unsung Hero is there to honour those working behind the scenes but who still play a major role in helping the prog cause: they just do it away from the spotlight.

Finally, please don’t vote for the passing of an artist in the Disappointment category. There are more respectful ways of paying tribute to the musicians who have passed and these votes won’t be counted.

To vote you can fill in the form to the right and post it to us by January 7 to Prog, Future Publishing, The Emerson Building, 4-8 Emerson Street, London, SE1 9DU. Or you can e-mail us your choices using the subject line ‘Readers’ Poll 2018’ to prog@futurenet.com.
