^Yes, that is exactly what I did. This query comprises studio albums of all the subgenres. I looked up the subgenre numbers, added them one by one, and pasted the string "&ssubgenres=" between them. Maybe a bit elaborate, but Proto (37) and PR (38) are excluded by default. Edited by someone_else - July 23 2020 at 02:16 |

Thanks :-) How did you conjure that? Manually edited the
URL string and added more sub-genres? (like 37 and 38 for the proto-prog
and prog-related?) |

It's deliberate, The Beatles are classified as Proto-Prog which, along with Prog Related, are not included in the album charts.

Hello. I was wondering about the Top Albums list algorithm: https://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?salbumtypes=1#list To simplify my question into a single example: how come Beatles "Abbey Road" https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=11074 Didn't cut it to the list? It's score line is:
4.48
| 1026 ratings | 84 reviews | 69% 5 stars it even states: Essential: a masterpiece of rock music to compare to other album that did make it to the list with less values: Klaus Schulze / Mirage https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7630
4.29
| 306 ratings | 25 reviews | 46% 5 stars (clearly all is less) so? Why Mirage got in and Abbey Road not? related question: I see the Abbey Road album got the sub-genre: Proto-Prog and I cannot find this sub-genre in the filters... maybe that's why? is this a bug?
