Could someone explain to me why there is such a difference between these two lists:

http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Top Prog Albums

../top-prog-albums.asp?ssubgenres=&salbumtypes=1&syears=1975&syears=1974&syears=1973&syears=1972&syears=1971&syears=1970&syears=1969&syears=1968&syears=1967&scountries=&sminratings=1&smaxratings=0&sminavgratings=0&smaxresults=50&x=56&y=4#list" rel="nofollow - TOP 50 "Classic Era" 1967-1975

I do understand that QWR is query-based but how can it make such a huge difference when it comes to the albums from the same era, i.e. 1967-1975.

Am I missing something here? Wacko

QWR, as I understand it, takes into account all the albums, their ratings, and their number of ratings.  This just illustrates how an album's rank can change given different criteria for search.
