My most played album by far is Casualties of Cool by Devin Townsend + Che Aimee Dorval. I don't think it's even my favourite album of his. (Though it'd be in my top 3)

Snarky Puppy should be on here because they've experimented with more genres than many of the bigger bands on this website and the last album of theirs I've heard was very rock-ish. (We Like it Here)

Not a strange opinion, I think, but I think Progarchives should take a page out of Metal Music Archives book and allow bands to have albums from multiple genres. Like Opeth's Heritage should be heavy prog and maybe prog folk, not tech/extreme prog metal. Also adding a 'not prog' genre would be nice for, say, early fusion bands to exclude that album from the top 100. (*Cough* Kind of Blue *Cough*)

I find Shine On You Crazy Diamond quite overrated

A thread to share any opinions you have on any aspect of the genre that are unconventional or not commonly held. Is there a frequently disliked piece of music that you think is a masterpiece? Do you believe that a certain part of prog history went differently than is often told? How about an artist that you believe should/shouldn't be on this site for odd reasons?

My own example is that my favourite song off of In The Court of The Crimson King is Moonchild.

Please keep the discussion respectful and try not to reduce it to just "I hate ____ band because they suck".

when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents
