WHY?

because I know that music and because I don't like it (progmetal, imitations,... what is that all about). I want innovative bands so give me The Mars Volta, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd, Van der graaf, PT (!!!!!),.... all day long

Is it as seminal (or essential) as MOVING PICTURES?

Well it pre-dates it by a decade. Seminal means influential so yes, KC were more influential than Rush overall-indeed Rush were directly influenced by Crimson.

You cant compare Rush's influence on the genre to that of King Crimson.

I wasn't comparing anything, Tony. BUT...It's funny you say that last bit, because I see a LOT of popular rock bands waving the flag for Rush; but I've never seen anyone come out and say "I've got a heavy KC influence.", aside, from, well, Rush. <puts foot in mouth>

BY THE WAY....who did the math to get the top 100/250/500?  And what algorhythm did they use?

When I say I "disagree" I don't mean literally. Basically, I'm trying to say I prefer albums outside of the top 100, that's just based on the artists/albums I listen to.

I think that the list, for the most part is a great direction for people who want to discover Prog. It also has the classics in it. I think that the algorithm is fine the way it is. I have no problem with it. Like I said, based on my listening habits, the top 100 has no affect on me or these habits.

Exactly, the same ones I don't like myself but Damnation by Opeth is almost a masterpiece
