Well you can't review something that's lesser known everyday. I just reviewed "The Power To Believe" mostly to get it off my list of things to review and to keep my writing sharp. Some people such as myself just want to review everything in their collection.

Personally I think a review of something that's already got a lot of reviews is better than no review at all, although I do try to review stuff that's a little lesser known whenever I can.

Classics are classics for a reason, they inspire people.

I think it's a good point! Though wouldn't know really how to solve this "issue"...

Just received the weekly PA feed, and I was curious about the most popular albums:

3 Most Popular Albums or DVD/Videos of the week

YES - CLOSE TO THE EDGE Symphonic Prog, Studio Album (1972) | 11 ratings/reviews
PINK FLOYD - WISH YOU WERE HERE Psychedelic/Space Rock, Studio Album (1975) | 9 ratings/reviews
KING CRIMSON - IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING Eclectic Prog, Studio Album (1969) | 9 ratings/reviews

Seems we're stuck on the same albums... And I'm sure Selling England, Foxtrot, Dark side, Animals... etc.. are not too far. I've noticed lately more and more reviews of 100+ reviews albums (well, just like always) even from prog reviewers. I'm not sure if this is very useful (please don't got me wrong, I know this is a public site and everybody can post any reviews as they want and I'm OK with it), do you guys and girls read all those reviews of OVER-known albums? Are these reviews useful for you? What do you think?

No offense or accusation intended, please let's take it as positive feedback Thumbs Up

This is not my beautiful house...
