Okay, I searched, and don't think this has been done before. Whatever your thoughts on the list (I know: "It's dominated by the same seven bands from the 70's", "too much Genesis in the top 10", "ELP isn't high enough", etc.), this isn't for list-bashing, like I said I did a search and read all the threads. Go through the list and count how many you own, this isn't a competition, just for fun. The List: http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp - http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp
Thank god it's not a competition, because I'd be pretty weak: 39 for me (most of them by those seven bands alluded to above) |

52 for me. Another interesting question would be which is the highest ranking album you don't have. For me it's RIVERSIDE - Second Life Syndrome ------------- Suritis: The Remembering.

Posted By: Tony R
Date Posted: February 14 2006 at 18:47
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. |
Posted By: sbrushfan
Date Posted: February 14 2006 at 18:50
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> ------------- Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced... |

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. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

breathtaking Seriously, this is my favorite prog album, it has pretty much everything you could want in an album of any type, not just prog. Greg Lake's vocals are amazing on it, and the music is superb. Robert Fripp is one of the best guitarists ever in my opinion, even if the talent isnt shown as much in this album as many of their later albums such as Lark's Tongue's in Aspic. You should buy INTCOTCK as soon as you can. I can see why alot of people dont like King Crimson's later work because it becomse extremely crazy after the 70's, but this album is a must own.
anyway, i have 47 of the top 100, but most of the stuff i dont have is metal because im not a huge metal fan and alot of the stuff on there is metal.
