YES - Time and a Word

Which reminds me that the debut YES album doesn't feature in PA's Top 100 Albums of 1969 either (it's at #120), so I'll have to do something about that by manipulating the algorithm until it produces the desired results, just like in politics. 

^ Easy:

^ So, you know now how to get it on number 1!

When you set the filters on a basic minimum (minimum ratings on 1, avg. rating on 1) the album even ends up on spot 154. When you prefer to select more "popular" prog and set - for example - the minimal ratings on 100, it ends op on #31...

It's up to...

I tend to disregard these things, since "I was there", and had the album, which I bought immediately after I got "The Yes Album".

My biggest issue with reviews and ratings is that too many of them are done strictly by "preference", thus, something not being there is not a surprise. But anyone ... in the past 20 years, rating that album, and ranking it, is not likely to give it as good a review and ranking, as it might have had at the time, and place. I did not think the album was a "good" or "great" as "The Yes Album", but it got my ears ... but since I do not rank/rate things at all, I prefer to say that is is an enjoyable album ... another one of many that shows a band getting better and then all of a sudden explode with their next album.

If the rankings and ratings took on some more of the time and place, I might enjoy it much, but I am not sure that many of us here are time travelers. I fly, and time travel with all music, going as far back as Vivaldi ... not sure why earlier stuff doesn't do that for me, but it has the feeling that it is not exactly "music" as it became after the Albinoni's, and Vivaldi's and such.
