I have Brian Ellis Quipu ready to go on 2011 part of the list but that's not getting posted till the top 100 collaborators 2011 albums list is finalised.

I have to work of something as this list is impossible to compile without some idea of how reviewers react to the albums.

I wish I could review that album too myself but I need a downloadable copy to hear as i cant afford any new CDs after the Christmas splurge LOL

Hey Causa Sui could be the 2008 album number 911 I have been looking for

Summer Sessions Vol. 1

What do you think o that album

it got about 3 4 star reviews

its fully instrumental psych prog so would be a good addition

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=24284

EDIT

Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun
Dead Can Dance

I had to add that as its from Australia and my country is so poorly represented when it comes to prog - actually disappointed that I had to push like mad to get MASTERS APPRENTICES ADDED but they are now FINALLY.

It just seems very strange to me that you got David Sylvian and Dead Can Dance on your list but no Julian Cope??

I am talking to the Krautrock team now. I want to know what they say.

I notified the Krautrock Team and we will see what they say.

Causa Sui are on the archives though. Not many bothered to review their music as you can see

	If anyone's interested, here's a link to a free .pdf download of Julian Cope's Krautrocksampler: http://blog.swanfungus.com/2006/10/krautrocksampler.html It's hard to read in places (looks like it was scanned in a hurry), and one page is actually missing, but it's still a great read. I wish Head Heritage would reissue it already..! Happy Holidays and thats it!

i am new to this site but i do know about music, sorry, not got time at moment to add Julian Cope, he should already be on this forum if he's not then this forum is rather sh*t. I work in music, got my own record label, professional music taster, critic, worked with classic rock presents prog and all so i know what i'm talking about.

But we have to have a system so we can add bands accordingly and not just accept anyone, officially at least to the teams appointed in respect to the work they do. I can suggest the artist and you can add your opinions too. Perhaps thats the way to do it. We added most prog bands and there are not many missing so if you feel that strongly it can be reviewed. Maybe nobody has suggested the artist before.

We have a protocol so we can remain impartial and add bands that are prog.

i will check cos i have a feeling the artist has not been suggested.

Just a sec and i will do a search here and get back to you

Dont be surprised as we are always finding out new artists - theres thousands and we want to make this site the oficial place to come to find prog

Have you suggested him recently in the suggest an artist - i havent checked that recently - which subgenre team could review the music. I am on Symphonic Team so cant help with votes unless hes a symphonic artist. But if he gets voted in by the respective team he gets on here as a prog artist officially.

I cant say much more but let me know i you need help promoting him on the site. All I can do is suggest him but have nothing on him at this stage. Not a single song. Is he online to listen to somewhere?

suggest him here

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=1

and mention albums and why he should be added

Julian Cope for Krautrock could be heading o thread.

you are new to this i see - have a go and see what they say

1981 better have Deceit.

Oops missed that - not enough interest here unfortunately to get on the list that is already jammed up.

This Heat - Deceit Masterpiece album from the 80's. Oh well, too late now. LOL

Great job on this list though. Thumbs Up

Hey its not too late as this list is a work in progress and isnt even finished so i am happy to add but can you at least suggest what album it might replace - If I add an album i will always either remove a live album or an album in the same year - otherwise it will drive me out of my skull renumbering hundreds of albums LOL

^For an essential band, I've never heard of them!

Overall a very good list. Obviously I'll disagree with some, as will everyone, but I feel that not including any Isis albums is a terrible mistake, Panoptican and/or Wavering Radient in particular are glaring omissions from the list. And most of the live albums could be done away with as well, unless they really do add something different.

Hey I can add some Isis or other - just let me know exact name of album and year (Panopticon?) - and I am happy to add - as I stated earlier there are some omissions and I want to add these so it is a better list so thanks for any help you can offer.

I can look them up AND then FIX THE LIST.

Isis Panoptican is from 2004 and as one of the defining albums of the Post Metal sub genre really does belong here. Can I also suggest adding the hugely influential Mnadylion album from The Gathering (1995) if for nothing else it introduced Anneke van Giersbergen to the world, you may also want to add their 99 album How to Measure a Planet?, which is more prog than Mandylion, but maybe not as essential.

Also, as one of the earlier Prog Metal bands, Vanden Plas deserves a spot on here as well (97's The God Thing gets my vote).

It's hard not to just suggest all of my personal favorites for inclusion! LOL

So lets see i need to add

Julian Cope - where???????? what year? what album?

Isis Panoptican in 2004 - will check that

Mnadylion album from The Gathering (1995)

Vanden Plas are definitely on the list somewhere - i am sure i did not forget - cant remember where though.

Okay it may be possible as I am considering removing a live album here and there becasue in hindsight i think I added too many.. LOL

I dont mind amending the list slightly here and there as thats the fun part and i am learning as i go. Remember I am only one guy doing this but i appreciate the 'editing' assistance here.

The list is not finished yet - But after this year I will make no more ammendents so we have a year to get it right. Should be possible. The 70s lists will not change at all though - i am happy with those.

EDIT:

Mandylion is added!

I replaced Radiohead and was happy to do it - not even prog (ducks for cover) Shocked

Isis also added replacing live Arena who have enough here anyway.

Great now i will get on with more reviews. Listening to Colosseum now and its unbelievable! About to write a review on this masterpiece
