 Well I Told Why I Write Like That.

I'm Not Trying To Be A Know It All Or Anything, Just Trying To Find The Middle Ground. Sorry If I Offended Anybody.

Hahahaha, They're Better Than I Expected To Be Honest! You Gave Good Points And I See That For You It Simply Comes Down Preference. You Didn't Run Down The Records Cause They Are Not Your Favs! But Maybe One Day They'll Click

Instead of yelling "overrated" about a band's appeal, just shake your head and realize that a lot of people like Genesis and not as many are fond of ELP.  (While I like Genesis a lot, I think Selling England by the Pound and Foxtrot are very average albums.  And I've made reviews to that effect which have been compiled and figure in to their ranking.  I'm even less impressed with Brain Salad Surgery, believe it or not.) We all have different tastes, and that's a good thing!  Don't get upset if your tastes are different from everybody else's.  And don't assume that just because your tastes are different, there is something wrong with everybody else.

Three Classics!! Thats A Shame. But I Respect What You Think, And I Respect What People Think When They Take The Time To Think, Really Think. I Do It A Lot, And My Conclusions Always Seem More Full To Me, I've Heard Music I Didn't Like Two Weeks Into Listening To it, And Later Found I Loved It (Foxtrot) But Would It Have Really Made Sense For Me To Review The Album A Week After Getting It? I Don't Think So. And I Think Some People Review Records A Bit Premature, Or Maybe Already Don't Like A Certain Band For Certain Reasons.. But To Really Comprehend Something Like Progressive Rock Music A Lot Of Thought Is Needed, Would You Look At The Mona Lisa Twice And Say You Know Everything About It? No, That'd Be Stupid. But Art Is Art, To Some People I Probably Seem Mad!!  Maybe I Should Talk To Pete Townshend

Easy Livin wrote: I think the point is WW, the chart reflects the bands and albums which are the most popular here, i.e. on a Prog music website. Bands such as Genesis are at the top because many of our members have rated their albums highly. Your opinion may differ with the chart, indeed it would be very strange indeed if it mirrored your own views exactly. The chart however gives what I think is a pretty accurate indication of the consolidated view of this community.

I Really Mean No Offence By This, But Is That A Better Way Of Saying "They're Extremely Biased"
