A ProgArchives Congress???

(I think I changed the subject too much on the original posting site, and I want to talk about this)

My opinion on this is that the albums should be rated on quality, not essentiality (?).  This way, people don't look upon these ratings as "you need to have this/that"... however true it may be.  It seems like nearly every band has a 5 star album... instead of cheapening the state of a 5 star (relatively speaking of course), I feel we could try to add an Honors rating system to any fiver, so that you have 5 normal stars for any exceptional album, and five gold stars for a masterpiece. 

However, ratings for these albums (fives only) could only be submitted by impartial, fair reviewers (i.e. Gatot, Maani, ProgLucky, M@X, various others who have proved their credibility and fairness.) Also, a 2/3 majority of this board must vote this album in by nomination from 25 members of the forum.

This way, we can eliminate fanboyism, ratings sabotage, and all the albums we consider masterpieces would be equally represented.  And if your favorite obscure, yet amazing album doesn't get in, chill out! Your favorite still has a stellar five star rating.  Spread it around some and maybe it'll get done next year. Yes, this will happen yearly, like elections.  I would like to see that the admins and board don't have to spend every day negotiating with lobbyists from the CTTE foundation (like it won't be first in line).
