The all-time top100 really need to be changed. A top100 of the best prog album of all time based on the number of review is insane. Four Dream Theater album in top15! Train of Thought #8?! Scene from a memory #7?! Images and word #10?! Octavarium #14?! Come on, are they really better than Fragile, Lamb lie down on Broadway, Wish you were here, Nursery Cryme, Red, Moving Pictures, Animal, Mirage, Brain Salad Surgery and Thick as a Brick?...
I'd propose it to be based on the prog reviewer rating. If they were chosen to be reviewer, they must know a lot of music, and have more opinion than a guy who came here saying 'DREAM THEATER IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'. For example, Anglagard Hybris, got 13 prog reviwer out of 15 giving this album 5 stars. The 2 others gave it 4 stars. So it must be a great album, no doubt about it. Train of thought got 3 five stars out of 7. ToT is #8, Hybris #47 is There's something wrong.
I'll also quote something I saw in a recent review of Octavarium, and that isn't wrong after all.

— I dont see why this album is rated so why- one of the reasons may be becasue its a breath of fresh air after the horrible train of thought album. But to see this album in the top 15 albums of all time is just asinine- it really makes me question the credibility of this site- i mean- wow- this album is nothing special- and yet its top 15 already- thats rather pathetic- horrid lyrics- so so music add up to nothing special- and certainly nothing ground-breaking- 2 stars- if that
------------- Vive le Québec libre!...
