PA Top 25 60s Albums: Your Most Liked of Known

Backing up Led Zep's debut album.

Hi,

richardh wrote: Logan wrote: CLICK HERE for the chart How do you get 'Prog related' to come up in the chart? I've often wondered what the overall chart would look like if the likes of Led Zep were included. Their higher rated albums come later of course especially the behemoth albums III and IV.  I voted for Led Zep II in this poll as I think they were as important to progressive music as any band of the period.

I ended up playing with the filters and urls to figure out how I could do it manually after someone asked for live album charts including Prog Related some years ago. Every subgenre is assigned a number, if you use the subgenre filters at the chart, you will notice ssubgenres= come up in the url. Canterbury, for instance, is 12, so its chart is https://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?ssubgenres=12. I looked through all of the number of the subgenres that are in the menu on the chart page and went through some numbers not listed by manually adding it to the url (I found them very quickly). The subgenre number for Proto-Prog is 37 and for Prog Related it is 38. So here , for instance, is the Prog Related chart with no other filters added: https://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?ssubgenres=38

Here is the all years chart with all Prog subgenres and Prog Related included (it's a long url, so quote this post to see it or just see it from the link's url):

For this chart, I highlighted every category that is available in the the subgenere down down filter, ensure that all is not highlighted, and I chose the other filters I wanted, like years the normal way, but then I pasted &ssubgenres=37&ssubgenres=38& into the url (web address). If it's not done exactly right, then it won't work. After that don't use the submit button, but instead press enter on your keyboard. I also chose to make 250 results.

Led Zeppelin is at number 16 with IV, David Bowie is at 17 for Blackstar, Queen is at 32 for Queen 2.

And here it is with Prog Related and Proto-Prog included in case any might be interested: CLICK here

I do plan to do a 70s one of these.

I'll go for Revolver over Court and Hot Rats mainly because Revolver didn't have a vote yet. Otherwise I'd have a hard time to decide between these three. Also love Uncle Meat, Soft Machine II, In a Silent Way and more Beatles. I don't think there's any album here that I don't like. But because you asked, if I were told I could keep 24 out of these 25 and need to give one away, it'd probably be Tommy. But now that I write this, even that would hurt a bit.

Tommy - I dig rock opera!

Lots of great stuff, Crimson win.

Wow! Some great albums. Led Zeppelin II. But, not the most confident vote.
