Progarchives.com Album Suggestion List

M@X,

I can't find it now, but did you not have a thread back in April 2004 or even before asking for suggestions about how to deriving the Album Suggestion List?

Why not do something similar to the Collaborator's Top 20 List, but take into account all the reviews? For example, the album (or top two albums, if possible) with the most stars for each band would be the suggestions? Just an idea.

 

For The most part i think it's dead on. Adding Foxtrot was a very good decision.

I only have two requests/ complaints:

Both Gentle Giant's "Octopus" and Yes' "Relayer" should be added.

I know that some of you admins are perticually fond of TFTO (m@x), but the general consensus seems to be that Relayer is a greater and more progressive album. Maybe remove Tales? or just add Relayer? but would that make the Yes suggestions too long? all good questions.

Also, i think that an album from the great "Collins" era of Genesis should be added:

I suggest "A Trick of The Tail".

Thanks for for taking the time to read this guys, and keep up the good work!

 

I agree mostly. My opinions:

Additions

• Genesis - The Lamb
• Gentle Giant - Octopus/In A Glass House
• King Crimson - Larks Tongue In Aspic
• Yes - Relayer
• Rush - Hemispheres/A Farewell to Kings

Subtractions

• Asia - Asia
• Rush - 2112
• Soft Machine - Volume 1
• King Crimson - Lizard
• Gentle Giant - Free Hand, The Power and the Glory

Soon there will be NO MORE SUGGESTION , only KEY ALBUM by Artists ( based on the ratings of reviewers ... ) Thanks

Yes....awww

Just a suggestion M@x, while creating this "key albums" section, perhaps the suggestions just be kept for prog as a whole: a sort of best of the best of all bands....?

i pretty much agree, but i very much disagree with some albums losing their suggestion logos, i mean did the albums randomly stop being as good as they were before? i think you should replace the ones u took away. the ones that were added are mostly fine, tho lizard and TFTO are recieving a lot of debate.

Why does Ash Ra Tempel have 3 suggestions?.I had bought two of those suggested and didn't care for either.

I bought Contagion by Arena when it was a suggestion and loved it. Now it is no longer a Suggestion. I think the suggestion needs to be put by Contagion again. Personally I think it is stronger than Immortal? which has the Suggestion on that one.

That would be premium, cheers

(By the way: I almost finished writing the bio) Trout Mask Replica is a must, considering how influential it is.  And Yay! The Bio's almost finished!  It's gotta be a pretty comprehensive bio considering that you said you'd started writing it the day after I joined.

Well, I started making time for it, I guess... I'm a busy man... and a LAZY man. It's pretty big, but not as big as the Zappa bio. There are still some things I'm not happy about. It kinda sucks having to write in your second language.... I hope my final version will please everybody (although sometimes it's a little bit of a summary)...

Who do you think has been influenced - because I'm having problems???
