Yes, and it need 25 ratings to have the LABEL: Essential : A masterpiece of prog rock music and others label too. Below 25 ratings , no label is assigned.

Now we have pretty much more 5 stars and Masterpieces
Before that, there was only 5 masterpieces 5 stars.

Comments ?

Gazpacho's Tick Tock took a pretty significant hit.

Not an earth-shattering change but some interesting place shifts.

I notice that Wish You Were Here has 666 ratings and now claims top spot...

Also, all ratings without reviews now have a weighting of 1. Up until now, ratings without review by a collaborator still had a weighting of 10.   We feel it is only fair to keep the collaborator ratings weighted higher, as they have a proven record of contributing to the site, and it offers an ongoing incentive for others to become Prog reviewers, collaborators, Special Collabroators etc.

Fine for me

let me check 

So Klaatu , Night Sun & Ange should finally top the top 100
