Thank you. See all is well. I've never seen an album jump 50 places though (referring to Cardiacs - Sing to God)...
Thanks and keep up the good work. Best Prog site......ever......Thumbs Up

Have not read all the posts so maybe my Q has already been answered ... but ..

Why are prog-related and proto-prog excluded from the Top Progressive album charts ?

If these artists are to be included in the progressive archives, then surely they should also be included in this feature !

Or at least I should be allowed to include them for my own purpose !?

Would be nice to see this list extended to 500 ... or even 1,00 entries LOL
Yeah proto prog and prog related are not actually prog albums, only related to the genre.
 
 
you want the list extended to 500 entries or even 100 - er...... you mean 1000. Its been done on other sites.




I don't think of prog as a genre in terms of the diverse music categorised at PA (I think the prog term overused).  And even if we were to consider all of the acts in the so-called Prog categories Prog-worthy, not all of the albums in the Prog categories would be considered Prog.  I would also say that one could very well consider various albums in Prog Related and Proto Prog to be Prog-category worthy.  I do. If only we had album tagging (with all users being able to tag them) while keeping the act in its current category.  Furthermore, we've had various acrts moved from Prog Related to Prog categories -- this does not change the nature of individual albums, but it does change how the site/ system deals with them.

Scoring system changed dra-matically. a lot of the top 100 albums in the last month (for example, "In Absentia" "Trespass," "Lateralus" "The Power And The Glory," "Octopus," "Fear Of A Blank Planet", etc.. now it is not listed.

But I will re-check and post back here

Ok, I have double checked and the last fix, really fixed it.

This was a small bug but really was creating false values for calculating the TOP 100 and genre top albums.

Without bugs Microsoft would have sold their last O/S in 1989 and their last copy of Office a few weeks later.
What?

They've had 2 launch events, one in UK and one in Europe and pre-sales from www.pendragon.mu have already been shipped...... so I guess a lot of people have the album already. Tongue

What about a maximum rating value option?  Maybe not very useful, but just a thought.

Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and Yes are all overrated! Even though Spirogyra albums score 4.48 and 4.41 they have been left out of this list? Why. If they had more reviews they would probably be in top 5.

^ No way for you to bother many members with such posts or threads ... you may be banned I'm afraid.
