^ Don't worry about it, your list itself has equal value here or there. It is easy to miss topics, searching can be hard, and easy to assume that the same topic might not have been done before. I wasn't even going to move your post to this one until it was mentioned by another person. As a moderator I can merge topics and have done that many, many times over the years. It's no big deal, unless it's long topic as that has taken me hours to do before.

I like your list: That Swans is in my first list, I love Radiohead's Kid A and might have gone with for Crossover, love Lizard, Atomic Rooster, Khan, Focus and more which are favourites of mine.

This is a great list too. It has many underrated artists, and even some I didn't know. I still have a lot of work to reach that level of knowledge!

For nine of the 22 categories I have a clear-cut favorite as listed, for the other 13 sub-genres I've listed the most favored first followed by the others that are ever-so-close to being my favorite. Also, there are several albums whose categoric assignation on PA is not in agreement with my own assessment.
