Yes, except more math and less snark. |
What do you mean when you say "snark" ?

He must mean by that "sarcastic", and that Rolling stones magazine is sarcastic

Well no matter how the top 100 is ordered there will be somebody really angry about it. Personally I would have put a lot of things higher/lower too. Then again the list is meant to reflect the general opinion, and for the most part it does this (some nuance to it though, with vote manipulation, and varying causes for people to bother rating something skewing rating).
Having said that, I'd be lying If I said I wasn't quite surprised(/annoyed) at some results myself though. Still, did this really need its own post?

Remember, it's interactive. If you don't like how something's rated, go ahead and do something about it -- submit a rating, or (better yet) write a review. People do read them. These rankings are nothing but the sum total of the opinions of people just like you and me.
I would, however, caution against "retaliatory" rating, which is giving extreme scores to things solely as an attempt to manipulate the ratings. Be honest.

Wait and Viljans Oga will drop. It's the massive high votes of the fanboys that get it there. It normally drops after a while. Steven Wilson's Grace For Drowning peaked at 12, Anathema's Weather Systems got at least in the top 30, so it's a regular pattern.

Pro Tip: check out this "TOP PROG ALBUMS" chart next week. The figures may change.
It's magical.

It's a well known fact that prog fans have terrible taste in music.

Am I reading this correctly? According to the ProgArchives " TOP PROG ALBUMS" (of all-time) list, ANGLAGARD has TWO (!!) albums ranked in the top 13 ... yet ELP barely squeezed one album in at # 75 ?? Is this like one of those goofy Rolling Stone Magazine lists? Oh-- and has anybody told BIG BIG TRAIN that they apparently recorded the #20 greatest Prog album of all-time ??? I'm sure the band and their 167 fans worldwide will be totally psyched !!!
