I have a problem with Genesis not being number two after Floyd.

I always knew that Yngwie "the Rhapsody Guardian X" Malmsteen was so much better and progressive than WatchTower or Gordian Knot....

What a crap list.

If you check the site more closely, it has the following statement:

"Disclaimer: There is nothing 'Official' about these lists. They are compiled by the 'editor' using the
stated criteria, and revised considering the competent suggestions of visitors to this website only."

The singular use of the term "editor" implies to me that this is just one person's opinion, so that should clearly be taken into consideration when determing the validity of the data. Unfortunately the way the site is designed, it gives the impression that this is something that was researched by multiple people, when it appears it really hasn't, although it looks like the editor may be open to suggestions as the list appears to be changing.

When you go to Prog Archives, for example, it is clear that a lot of effort has been put into the top 100 list here by a real community made up of fans and experts of the genre.

It's all about determing what a reputable source is.

Anywho, just listen to what you like, I myself don't really agree with the list, but I'm not getting worked up about it. Just my thoughts.

I'm not absolutely offended !

I think that the bands that i've listed should be in the list, but not because they are my favorite, because they are GREAT PROGRESSIVE ROCK BANDS.

I wasn't directly referring to your comments, although they did sound a bit negative to me. I was replying to my thoughts about that list. I think though that some of the bands you listed or referred to are unkown outside of your country (or at least Europe) or they only have one album, like in the case of Khan, who I really like by the way, which makes them "less important" to some people.
