 Topic: Best artists/albums not in the top 500Posted: November 16 2007 at 16:37 |

One of my absolute favourites of the last few months is not yet in PA: Pascal Duffard's Dieu est Fou. That'll be my choice for favourite not in the top 500 (or indeed in PA). It's great avant rock with folk (chanson) elements.

Heh. I would say that album (their 1st) is by far the best out of their 3 albums. I actually don't like their 2nd and 3rd albums. |

Agreed as well and written some beautiful reviews for all of their albums
 (excluding the first two).Agreed on Paatos as well.
I won't open the ranking system discussion as well, but as long as even a classic record like Operation: Mindcrime is only around the lower bound of the top 500, I feel the new algorithm has a bit of a strange weighting of average rating and number of ratings... on the other hand, the lightly esoteric character is fun and challenges self-cleaning.

There are some albums which are not in the top 500 just because they're still only in my band submissions workings.

Fortunately, Within Temptation is not in the Archives, and I hope that this is not going to change. |

Some of those artists are in the top 500. I assume you're listing albums whether the artists are in the top 500 or not.  Edited by cold103 - November 13 2007 at 13:21 |

you've got to be kidding me... there AREN'T in the top 500 yet another reason why these lists are pointless.... prog... great prog.. is supposed to challenge the listener.. and if reviewers can't acknowledge that and review the album accordingly... the reviews are worthless as well Edited by micky - November 12 2007 at 16:49 |

 For me, I'd say:
Can - Tago Mago
Taal - Skymind
Discus - ...tot licht! Magma - M.D.K
King Crimson - Lizard
The Residents - Not Available
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Univers Zero - Ceux Du Dehors, 1313
+ many, many RIO/Avant albums without enough ratings

I've rated all of them and reviewed at least 2. It's hard for me to find the free time to write many reviews though. |

I'm not sure and I'm not going to check but if After crying's Overground music is not in that list it makes a good choice IMO.
