Do whatever you want. I didn't mean for my personal guidelines to be restrictive to others. I was just encouraging people to pick actually albums and not collections of greatest hits, whether live or otherwise. In the case of many jam bands and jazz artists, the live albums are quite different than those of more traditional rock artists.

I included Tangerine Dream - Ricochet and 801- Live in my list as I think both are great examples of the bands music. In the case of 801 I find it much better than Listen Now, it probably wouldn't make my top 500.

Here's my top 100. Sheesh, it was actually a lot of work. In some cases it contains some different material than what's come up so far. They've been rank ordered, although my judgements are not fixed in stone. They only contain progressive material, so classical guitar and blues albums weren't counted. Only albums that I owned were counted. It was extra difficult because largest bulk of my collection is out of state. There were some that I remember liking, but I couldn't remember the name of the album, one from PFM for instance. There's another that I can't remember the band name nor the album name, just the music. Anyway, here it is:

1. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Genesis)
2. Nursery Cryme (Genesis)
3. Spectral Mornings (Steve Hackett)
4. Tresspass (Genesis)
5. To Watch the Storms (Steve Hackett)

20. Uncle Meat (Mothers of Invention)

21. Hot Rats (Frank Zappa)
22. Now (Jade Warrior)
23. Eclipse (Jade Warrior)
24. Fifth Element (Jade Warrior)
25. Last Autumns Dream (Jade Warrior)
26. Defector (Steve Hackett)
27. Benefit (Jethro Tull)
28. Guitar (Frank Zappa)
29. Minstrel in the Gallery (Jethro Tull)
30. Thick as a Brick (Jethro Tull)

31. Security (Peter Gabriel)
32. Moving Waves (Focus)
33. Focus III (Focus)
34. Chunga’s Revenge (Frank Zappa)
35. Freak Out (Mothers of Invention)
36. We’re Only In It for the Money (Mothers of Invention)
37. Voyage of the Acolyte (Steve Hackett)
38. Out of the Tunnel’s Mouth (Steve Hackett)
39. Starless and Bible Black (King Crimson)
40. Foxtrot (Genesis)

59. Live, Love, Larf, Loaf (French, Frith, Kaiser, Thompson)
60. Hamburger Concerto (Focus)

61. Animals (Pink Floyd)
62. Smallcreep’s Day (Mike Rutherford)
63. Moving Pictures (Rush)
64. Tales from Topographic Oceans (Yes)
65. Tarkus (ELP)
66. Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd)
67. Wind & Wuthering (Genesis)
68. Trick of the Tail (Genesis)
69. Desire Caught By the Tail (Adrian Belew)
70. Twang Bar King (Adrian Belew)

71. Lone Rhino (Adrian Belew)
72. Stand Up (Jethro Tull)

93. Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention (Frank Zappa)
94. Till We Have Faces (Steve Hackett)
95. Magic is a Child (Nektar)
96. Aerosol Grey Machine (Van der Graaf Generator)
97. Pawn Hearts (Van der Graaf Generator)
98. H to He Who Am the Only One (Van der Graaf Generator)
99. Cured (Steve Hackett)
100. The World (Pendragon)

I thought about counting the Zappa Shut Up N' Play Yer Guitar albums as all one box set, but they were all individually titled. If I did then I could get Nektar's Journey to the Center of the Eye and KC's Lark's Tongue in the top ten. Oh well.

100-Crosby, Stills and Nash - Crosby, Stills and Nash

There are about 40 or 50 others that could've been in the 50-100 range, so hey. 

Also, this list makes it look like I prefer a damned Bruce Springsteen album over Talking Book - that's insane. I'm just too lazy to change the list around.
