 Topic: Unlisted Masterpieces
Posted: October 16 2010 at 05:15 |

Are there any albums you personally would want to see in the top 50 of Prog Archives, but currently aren't even in the TOP 250? Please don't post just any albums you'd place higher, but ones that you think should be at the very top, true and rare masterpieces.
The rules:
- Post only albums you would place in the top 50, but aren't currently in PA's list (with the filter on 250)
- If the album you have in mind isn't listed in PA, but you think it deserves to be in our Top 50, go right ahead and post it.
- This is NOT the place to argue which albums should definitely be taken down from the top.
Kayo Dot - Coyote
Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue
Miles Davis - A Tribute to Jack Johnson
Herbie Hancock - Crossings
Radiohead - Kid A
King Crimson - The Power to Believe

So we have to think of an album we love, check that it isn't in the top 250 and then post that.
Sounds like a lot of effort.
I'm game......will need a bit of thinking.

True.  But when you guys have the time for it, I think doing this could be rewarding for everyone concerned.

^ Many of the "love and hate" albums are actually charted very low, because of the "hate" part, despite their significance. TFTO is a great example of this.

Somebody's been listening to some pretty obscure stuff...  I think Koenjihyakkei and Henry Cow are the only bands here that I've even heard of.

No Earthly Connection - Rick Wakeman Myths and Legends of King Arthur - Rick Wakeman Bedside Manners Are Extra - Greenslade Piper at the Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd Elegy - the Nice the Nice - the Nice ( As Nice as Mother Makes It - in the USA) Five Bridges - the Nice Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Crazy World of Arthur Brown Pictures at an Exhibition - ELP Outside - David Bowie Crafty Hands - Happy the Man 2nd Hands - the Gourishankar Sheer Heart Attack - Queen By Numbers - the Who Mei - Echolyn Possibly not all fully fledged 5 star beasties but certainly deserving of being in the top 50 in a sane and rational universe IMO

^ I was surprised too so I went back to check it and noticed I hadn't flagged the 'live' category with the filter. But hey ho, the album doesn't appear even after that?

That is "so whack" as they say. I think. That could be old already.

If you only filter live albums, it is on place 101. In general, all albums below a rating of about 4 are not in the top 250.

I get around. It's mostly Avant-Prog/Rock in Opposition stuff though, with a few exceptions.

The 250 top albums chart is build upon studio albums exclusively (and no proto/related either).
