Call this:
 
THE ULTIMATE  LIST OF ALBUMS BY BANDS THAT PROGARCHIVES.COM CLASSIFIES AS SYMPHONIC, NEO-SYMPHONIC OR ITALIAN SYMPHONIC PROG
 
That way no one can complain because the list will be what it says it is.


float an idea?   it was simply an invitation for members to list their favorite albums from PA Symph bands, not whether we should offer people health insurance

Well ES335, Neo and Symphonic have a very close relation and Italian Symphonic is Symphonic, so it's an interesting experiment to talk about bands that are related,. despite not being formally in the same sub-genre.

No. It was an invitation to list their favorite albums with lots of rules. The rules have generated perhaps needless controversy. In the future it might be possible to prevent the controversy. Hence my suggestion.
 
I'm not suggesting that controversy is inherently bad by any means. Frequently it leads to the most interesting discussions. However, not being able to submit ITCOTKC to a list of great symphonic prog albums but being able to submit 80's Genesis isn't interesting, just intllectually frustrating. Overall this site is great, but a frequent complaint is there is too much emphasis on mindless polls and lists. Wouldn't it be more in the spirit of the site to allow some leeway for people to think? 
 
you seem to have an interest in protecting or at least defending PA's classification system. I have no problem with the overall system used on this site. From a usability standpoint, it makes more sense when organizing the information to operate on a general assumption that artists tend to work within a genre.
 
That general assumption doesn't seem to make sense for this undertaking, unless moreitthanyou is using a program to tally the results that won't be able to distinguish if a crank is submitting albums that clearly bear no resemblance to the symphonic style. Assuming no cranks, we're probably just talking about a handful of albums that have elements of symphonic combined with elements of eclectic or heavy prog. It seems to me, and others, that the list would be more accurate and interesting, without placing an undue burden on the project's creator, if people were able to exercise reasonable judgement.

I have an interest in nothing, and this has nothing to do with categories..  it's about respecting the parameters of the thread starter--  do you want some mug to come on some nice little thread of yours and say "No, no...*THIS* is how you should do it"    This thread ain't a democracy. it's a private thread open to all members 

..what would any list, game or poll be without guidlines?

now, enough arguing and on with favorite PA Symph albums!

You can say that part about needless controversy again. This would give me quite the headache if I didn't already have a cold. I didn't go that far in to naming the contest that specifically because I assumed that people would be willing to play by the rules. Since this is not exactly the case, I made it so that if you're not going to play by the rules, you have to do extra work in convincing me that your assumption as to the album's genre is feasible.

That may be true, but I don't believe I could have granted more leeway than with my last contest. After that, there was a demand for more specified contests and I happily obliged.

I just thought it would be easiest and most fair. I didn't want people arguing about what is symphonic and what is not. I also didn't want people complaining at the end that their favorite "symphonic" album outside the three genres was too low because people followed the site's ruling and listed accordingly.

That general assumption doesn't seem to make sense for this undertaking, unless moreitthanyou is using a program to tally the results that won't be able to distinguish if a crank is submitting albums that clearly bear no resemblance to the symphonic style.

It seems to me, and others, that the list would be more accurate and interesting, without placing an undue burden on the project's creator, if people were able to exercise reasonable judgment
The program I use is Microsoft Excel and my time and effort. Hopefully I don't let any cranks get through. I have decided to allow everyone to exercise what they believe is reasonable judgment given my approval. If you're going to add a non-symphonic album to a symphonic list, you better have some very good reason for doing so.

I hope this helps explain my side. Anyway, don't fight, list! Thumbs%20Up

This has in fact happened, more than once (not necessarily here, I post and have posted on several forums devoted to many subjects). In many cases, I was presented with new ideas allowed me to improve my endevour.  
Originally posted by Atavachron Atavachron wrote:

Lists, games and polls are all different, and I would answer differently for each one, so I'll ignore the broader question since it isn't relevant to the issue at hand. A list of great symphonic albums that restricts you from submitting great symphonic albums would be incomplete.
 
I hope you find these answers adequate. Should you have more questions, feel free to contact me via private message.

Since the rules have been changed (a few days ago, to my chagrin, I should have gone back and checked. Alas and alack! Ah well, this intellectual jousting has been refreshing) to allow listers to make a case for albums such as ITCOTCK, I agree.

I agree that the changes to the list criteria make this a much better situation. As I said to Atavachron, I think the way the site organizes the information is good, but it makes for bad rules in a situation like this, early KC being the prime example. Thank you for keeping an open mind, and re-imaging the rules in such a way that should make this a truly interesting project.

1) Yes Tales From Topographic Ocean
2)Yes Close to that Edge
3) ELP Tarkus
4) Yes Relayer
5) King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King (widely regarded as the album that started it all, follows a symph structre and ealsa with symph themes. Trippy cover too)
6) The Flower KIngs Adam and Eve
7) Transatlantc SMPTe
8)PFM Per Un Amico
9) Yes Magnification
10)The Yes Album
11) Fragile
12) Yes Going For the One
13) The Flower Kings The Sum of No Evil
14) The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the album that started it all for the album that started it all)

27 Rush 2112
28) Rush A Farewell to Kings
29) Rush Hemispheres (all of these Rush albums contain epics with symphonic structure and fantasy lyrics typical of the genre. Could argue that they are "Heavy Symphonic Prog") 
That's it for now from this twisted hombre. But I come from the land of Lizards and the lizards they are dead

Crikey. I really have to get some kind of breathalyzer hooked up to my laptop so I can't post after my Ambien kicks in. I remember the post at 23:44, but have no recollection of compiling that list. Scary stuff that Ambien. Some day I'm going to wake up in the next county.

Not sure what I need to convince you of, other than the Sgt. Pepper comment, which makes about as much sense to me now as it does to you. I'll change the argument to it's the album that started it all for the album that started it all. I'll redo the Rush albums, but the argument is the same for all of them. I'll add Caress of Steel too.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I think you misunderstood. I have no problem with comparing these three genres. I simply thought some allowance should be made to include albums that are symphonic by bands that are classified otherwise.
 
My apologies to moreitsthanyou if I made you feel hounded. I do appreciate the work you do on these lists. It's just that when you call it the "Ultimate" list, and the thread is likely to get stickied, some care should be taken to include all symphonic music.
 
Can't wait for the psyche/space list!

Excellent list of symphonic albums ApproveThumbs%20Up!
 
This (and other...) list leads me to ask a question: Can be symphonic playing fusion, space rock, post rock or krautrock?
 
For my warning yes. And I believe that the examples are many!

I don't know what the problem understanding this list is but it's getting a bit silly... Symphonic albums on PA, not fusion or space or Kraut or anything else

It is considered that more than a music genre symphonic is an adjective that expresses a certain kind of musical construction of musical sentence on compositions and that allows a certain kind of excitement to come afloat.
 
So, in my opinion, 'Birds Of Fire' is no less  symphonic of 'Argus' or 'Close To The Edge' of 'Sped Metal Simphony' (by Cacophony). In fact change the musical genre but not the symphonics elements.
 
In conclusion if there (even in prog) symphonic genre is true that symphonic album is not only the prerogative of symphonic prog.
