This was a tedious survivor, but it was fun finally going through the Steven Wilson discography. I still maintain that he is among the most overrated artists out there right now, but I do better understand his appeal after listening to all of his music. Solid top ten, but it says a lot that everything is from the 00s or later. Thanks to everyone who stuck with it!

Definitely agree with that. His production work is great. He’s also a pretty solid arranger. It’s just that he is consistently brought up as an innovator in prog music and I don’t see it.I'm not sure about overrated, but I definitely think he's a better producer and contributor (i.e. Opeth's work) than he is a solo musician or a frontman. His sound design is generally impeccable, but the songwriting is often under or overcooked.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed them.Thanks for hosting Mosh! I can't praise you enough for the excellent write-ups that accompanied every album. You really went above and beyond with that.
