mind you i have been here just over a month & i have spent nearly ｣200 on CD's & downloads! That's on recommendations & reviews i have seen! I have got so much more into prog than i have ever been! There are bands that i had heard of but would'nt buy! Since being here it's been brilliant!!  e.g got into Canterbury scene & i have been buying prog for 30 years!! Keep up this great site

i totally agree that would be a good rule for reviewing!
|
I recently wrote a very nice review and gave the band 5 stars (at the time I thought I was being fair) , but today I was playing it and its probably more like 3/12 stars , I feel like I have mislead people but theres nothing I can do about it  |
I will add that feature to my website (I'll "assimilate" it).

How many albums can you afford to buy!?!
I'd also be boring as erlenst says and nominate Yes' CTTE as the one to
start with...but you could do worse than buy up the top30 on the PA
listing, maybe limiting yourself to just the top 2 albums by any one
artist to save money (otherwise you end up withe.g. 4 Floyd albums etc).
I'd then add in one or two other gems...Tools Lateralus is worth
buying; Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire is a must in my book; and
though its maybe not worth of 6 or 7 stars, I'd recommend The Mars
Volta's "Frances the Mute" as an indication of truly progressive modern
music. Oh, and Robert Wyatt's "Rock Bottom" is a cracker.

Yes - Relayer
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
King Crimson - Red
Genesis - Foxtrot
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

This is also highly dependent on what you own...like another poster
said, we could recommend the best Yes albums but maybe you already own
all of those.

I'll go completely broke if I buy all the albums with 5-star reviews around here.
So (since I am on a very limited budget)...Could somebody please tell me what albums actually deserve 6 or 7 stars? Thanks.
