5 Pure Reason Revolution

They just put out one of the most creative albums of the year, mixing a more accessible approach to an often complicated type of music.

Most underrated album ever. A simple masterpiece. I wish we could use Eupnea in our protests.

6 Steven Wilson Steven John Wilson is an English musician, singer, songwriter and record producer, most closely associated with the progressive rock genre. He is best known for his band Porcupine Tree.

Steven decided to "postpone the future" as his last album, The Future Bites, was delayed until he is able to do the tour promotion. Nevertheless, he did release the single Personal Shopper, which is an interesting track. And the other single, "King Ghost", supposed to be released few weeks after, was postponed indefinitely.

However the track was available on some streaming platforms and I was able to hear it. So far it's the best track. I think Steven will again surprise us with a distinctive and challenging album and show next year.

Steven Wilson is a creative and sensitive composer, a complete multi instrumentist musician and a very competent remixer. He have a beautiful and soft voice. Great artist!

Never afraid to try new things, usually to great success, Steven represents the frontier of modern progressive music.

Steven's music changed my life and really helped me to go out of my depression. I'm infinitely grateful with him.

13 Caligula's Horse

They just keep getting better and better. Their perfect mixture of heavyness and melodic arrangements combine perfectly to make beautiful and emotional music that can go from intense rhythmical charged sections to acoustic passages like it was nothing.

Caligula's horse grow with every album. The music they produce is wonderfully diverse and they have a very moving way of expressing what is important in life.

Fantastic Aussie band. Great live show.

24 Hayley Williams Hayley Nichole Williams is an American singer, songwriter and musician. She is best known as the lead vocalist, occasional keyboardist and primary songwriter of the American rock band Paramore. In 2020 she started a solo career.

Hayley did an amazing work with Petals for Armor. To be fair, I think a lot of its success was about an AMAZING production job. Still capturing those 80's vibes introduced on last Paramore album which I think is great but with some interesting twists to it. An outstanding and innovative work and artist!

I love Hayley! Paramore is awesome, and I absolutely love Petals For Amor!

Hayley's solo career is awesome.
