There is a shortcut on the TOP PROG ALBUM that tweaks the variables to generate that kind of list http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?ssubgenres=&salbumtypes=1&syears=&scountries=&sminratings=3&smaxratings=20&sminavgratings=4&smaxresults=100&x=93&y=9#list You can then play with the filters.... Maybe CERT, you should apply for a place in the PROG METAL team ?! Seriously... |

Maybe, instead of members proposing additions, there should be some kind of algorithm that selects these? For example, if an album only has one rating, and it's 5 stars, for example, then it could be made available for random selection to provide a list of, say, 20 obscure gems every week. This could be weighted to select the most recent reviews/ratings, and maybe trawl for some real lost ones - e.g. 15 could be selected from recent ratings, and the other 5 could be dug out from the mists of time. With this system, if anyone wants a particular album selected, and thinks it's a real gem, then all they would have to do is rate it, and it would appear on the list eventually. Obviously, there could also be a complete page, featuring every album with just a handful of high ratings. Just a few ideas off the top of my head, and not very organised...

Right underneath the PA banner at the top of the page it says: Prog Sub-Genres in white letters and lists them all with a hyperlink to all of them.

I have looked around the site and the various forums and topics. There is nnothing called "sub genre"
It would be straight forward if a hot linhk to one could be forthcoming... or just the name of the forum page or topic could be given rather than the generic ref sub genre Lets see ...? |

Well I'd certainly love to receive any suggestions for overlooked RIO, Avant-Prog or Zeuhl albums which I could pass on to the relevant authorities. I'm sure if you approach any member of the appropriate sub-genre team they'd be more than happy to take your suggestions on board. |

Cool, you made it happen
 Must really dig into it some day, right away I spotted the Willowglass album I'd been looking at (love the cover, very Lizardy) and an Ange album I don't have...
