   Just something odd from me:

Take 5-10 bands you know at least a few albums from, your favourite album from each, and your favourite song from each.

Order by band, album and song preference.

Add together the numbers and place in order.

E.g.

Bands
1. King Crimson (21st Century Schizoid Man, Larks' Tongues In Aspic)
2. Genesis (The Musical Box, Selling England By The Pound)
3. Emerson, Lake & Palmer (Take A Pebble, Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
4. Rush (Cygnus X-I, Caress Of Steel)
5. Van Der Graaf Generator (Arrow, Godbluff)
6. Yes (South Side Of The Sky, Close To The Edge)
7. Pink Floyd (One Of These Days, Animals)
8. Jethro Tull (Thick As A Brick, Thick As A Brick)
9. Camel (Lady Fantasy, Moonmadness)

Albums
1. Larks' Tongues In Aspic
2. Close To The Edge
3. Thick As A Brick
4. Godbluff
5. Emerson, Lake & Palmer
6. Selling England By The Pound
7. Animals
8. Caress Of Steel
9. Moonmadness

Songs
1. 21st Century Schizoid Man
2. Thick As A Brick
3. Cygnus X-I
4. South Side Of The Sky
5. Take A Pebble
6. Lady Fantasy
7. The Musical Box
8. One Of These Days
9. Arrow 

King Crimson 3

Yes 12
ELP 13

Jethro Tull 13
Genesis 15
Rush 15
VDGG 18
Pink Floyd 22
Camel 24

Don't know quite why I did this, except I felt I was under-rating bands such as Tull because of releases I didn't particularly like at the expense of my enjoyment and appreciation of their finest. Conversely, I could have been overestimating my love for VDGG, because their material is consistently good, even if the individual songs aren't standouts.
