Come on guys, don't derail this thread twice.
Marmite is far more interesting. Our factory in New Zealand has been out of production for about 6 months. There was a huge story on the news about people stocking up tons of marmite prior to the shortage.

Hey, I hate ELP as much as any rational a****le, but I happen to dislike about 84% of the top 100 list at any given point in time. Complaining about one is as practical as complaining about another. That being said - feel free to make your own list. If you're still upset over it, Progarchives offers a host of respectable solutions.
PA survival guide: Welcome, and thank you for choosing Progressive Rock Archives. The wonderful realm of the Progressive Rock Archives (shortened: ProgArchives (shortened PA (shorted: Puh))) welcomes you Back to the World of Adventure! We have exciting games and entertainment venues. You can truly find out Wot...uh, the deal is. We are a fully interactive web-based community devoted to: -Spreading disgusting political misinformation -Pretending that Dream Theater is worth a damn -collecting every pretentious rock group known to man in one stupendous database which is currently updated and maintained by David Lynch, Thing-Fish, and three blind mice. -Vainly attempting to define what 'prog' means - with hilarious results! (I think it is a secret code-word invented by the Gestapo to track down runaway Jews in 1943)
Here are some of our healthy guidelines - follow these and you'll be an up-and-coming Light-house Keeper like the rest of us. Progarchives fully supports blatant dishonesty - one-star those pretentious bands into oblivion! If you actually haven't heard the album - even better, just like Christgau. You get bonus points for writing a review for an album that hasn't been officially released yet.
If your blind virulence has yet to achieve the desired results, Progarchives recommends creating several false duplicate accounts to further besmirch their waning reputations. Make sure you name your second, third, or fifteenth accounts sharply and wittily for our site-wide annual 'spot that duplicate!' contest. Winners will receive a copy of Epignosis' new album and a secret link to illegal torrent sites.
We here appreciate diversity. Try inventing personality quirks to spice up the environment. Some like to make bold claims such as "All music created after 1989 is utter garbage no matter what". Others like to claim that a specific band/artist is terrible, even if they secretly enjoy that group. These characters are lucky, Lucky Men and are beloved site-round. Try developing a catch phrase such as 'Rush sucks!' '3.5 stars really!' or 'Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish'.
In our popular forums section, you may: -Vote in meaningless polls -write amateur theses regarding said meaningless polls -shout "Rush rules!" -poke fun at Metal Music Archives -Engage in vehemently cruel debates over Religion, Politics, Music and My Little Pony. No Swearing!
So I personally welcome you to the Promised Land, where all your Geoff Tates are bitter and all your dreams will come true - unless you get banned.

I dont understand, you're saying i can't voice my opinion on a band because i'm not from 1970?

No I am saying that your opinion is similar to other children your age who haven't lived enough life to properly form an opinion and yet they feel like they should share their misguided opinions anyways because w**king on a thread is what they do. And quite frankly it gets quite tiresome after awhile for us old farts. And that is coming from a relatively young old fart.

There is no equivalent. You can buy Marmite and Vegemite in specialty shops, but most of us Yanks find it very strange and generally disgusting. I enjoy it, but only in small quantities.

But, seriously, just because you dislike a band or do not think they are worthy of being on the site and/or top 100 list is not relevant if the majority of PA members do. For instance, I dislike Pink Floyd, but that doesn't matter cause the majority of PA members do like Pink Floyd. It's your opinion. You may think it's right, but that doesn't mean it is right.

Yes, you are reading this right. There is nothing wrong with your eyes, mind, or the site. Glad to clear this up.

Spoken like a true 13 year old who wasn't around when ELP came into existence. Bands didn't w**k on their keyboards prior to guys like Keith Emerson.

Elp is the most overrated prog band on earth. The problem is- THEYRE PRETENTIOUS AS HECK! While they are fine artists, it seems like lots of their songs is just a bunch of randomn playing on the keyboard, and then all the masses go "OMG THATS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY", not even thinking about what they're listening to.

What about a vegamite sandwich? Imagine my surprise to find out that this strange thing mentioned in a Men At Work song was an actual thing.

I'm the only American I know who likes it. Can we please derail this thread into being all about Marmite? That would make me so happy.

1) The "average" views of all prog fans on this site do not correspond exactly to your own views. And this annoys you why?
2) Have you actually listened to any of the albums you object to (I certainly suspect not given the comments in your post)? I haven't heard the most recent Anglagard so have no idea whether it should be there or not, however Hybris has stayed solidly in the Top 20 for many years and was released in 1992. It's hardly a flash in the pan or the effect of having been heard only by fan-boys. It's there because a lot of people like it.
3) The albums you object to seem to be anything not from the 1970s. Strange and sad that you consider only work from a particular decade can deserve the mantle of a Top Prog Album.
As I rate English Electric by Big Big Train as the best prog release I've heard in the last 20 years I am angry that it's so low. Does my anger cancel out yours?

Hybris deserves it but Viljans Oga is pretty average imo. 20 years on to record a slightly inferior version of the same sort of thing (ambient symph prog)

There's always somebody that thinks they know better. And just for the record, I'd take Anglagard over ELP any day.
