Now that Harmonium has been moved to its rightful place in Prog Folk, can we start this thread over?

The list should get longer as more votes come in and it may even stretch to a Top 40, eventually.

I dig both views. Hey, Paul, could you list the top 40 Prog Folk albums as voted by members. I know it's a bit more work, but I'd like to ferret through a longer list.

That's why I said " list your ten favourite Prog Folk albums by *ten different artists*" in the intro back on Page 1. If it wasn't for that ruling, there would've been even more Jethro Tull albums in the eventual Top 30.

Hi,
I do wish that you did not duplicate the same artist in the listing ... I have no beef with JT and its popularity (they deserve it) but having 4 albums in the top 20 really hurts 3 other bands that deserve to be mentioned, and have not had the chances that JT has been so lucky and very good, to get!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

That's what can happen, and then, it's good when somebody else refreshes it.

It was a surprise to me too. I'd forgotten this poll even existed until it popped up again today over 16 months after the previous post.

I apparently have only ever listened to five Prog-Folk bands, and so will only have five albums ranked:
1. Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull 2. Within the Realm of a Dying Sun by Dead Can Dance 3. The Hazards of Love by The Decemberists 4. Red Queen to Gryphon Three by Gryphon 5. Basket of Light by Pentangle
