Results: Artist and Album of the Decade 2010

And what a decade it has been! r/progmetal was started in 2010 by an awesome group of people who continue to enjoy progressive metal. As a community we've grown to 80,000 members and now you all have picked your favorite artists and albums of the past decade.

Over the last 10 years, many bands have started their careers, continued their success, evolved their sound, and some bands have come and gone with just a single album to remember them by (R.I.P. Native Construct). Some of these bands will influence the next decade of prog-metal, and I'm looking forward to hearing what that sounds like.

From the 2010s, you have chosen Haken followed very closely by Between the Buried and Me as your favorite artists. You then voted for BTBAM's The Parallax II: A Future Sequence over Haken's The Mountain as your favorite album.

There is more to any artist and band than its rank on a list, but the list below truly showcases the best progressive metal artists and albums from the last 10 years. I hope this helps you find new favorites.

Thank you everyone for discussing and voting for your favorites this year and the last decade. You can find those discussions and more info at the bottom.
