Perhaps in a limited form then so as not to occupy too much space? Also, could there perhaps be a bit more of a randomness to them, so that they don't just show the same albums all the time.

I think they should be re-instated. This site is for everyone,not just Prog Connoisseurs. The suggestions are a key part of spreading the word. |

Another complaint for the removal
 Message: Hi, people from Prog Archives.com This is the best site i've ever seen, and it is a fully surprised gift for those who likes prog, fusion, canterbury and related music. I just came here to make a complaint, or a question, if it is more convenient: One of the good things about the album's reviews were the related albums added in the end of the reviews. Why you take it off?! Another: I'm brazilian, and don't speak (write) english in a good way, and i really wanted to write some reviews, but you don't let we write in our main language. This is really bad. But... the site is almost perfect, and every time shows more surprises. Thanks, and I hope to be understand. Peace!!!!! |

Note M@x's words "for now", I suspect he will have ideas on how to replace it with an improved version.

It's a pity the feature has been removed. Though it didn't work perfectly, but helped to find something new, at least for me. |

It should be limited to showing two albums per band, else it'll get clogged up with always the same bands. Most people will be looking for bands anyway (I am).

It might be a good plan to show not only top-rated albums in a category, but also a few RANDOM albums in the same category. That way visitors are introduced to obscure albums as well... or you could only show 16 random albums in the same category, where the chance of showing a particular album depends on its rating... (for example an album with 4,5 stars is being shown 3 times as much as an album with 1,5 star.

Also, wouldn't it be better to show "the top rated albums by 12 top rated bands of this genre"? Now there's 4 albums by YES, 4 albums by GENESIS, 2 albums by KING CRIMSON and 2 albums by CAMEL. Could there be only a one most rated album by one band? Or could there be a be genre recommendations which admins and collabs would have voted? |

^ Yes, agreed. It's totally useless for most people here. Good for newbies, but no use for others.

It
is quite irrelevant to get always the same references per category
(Yes, Genesis for Symp.), Marillion, IQ,Arena for Neo Prog, Pink Floyd
for Space Rock etc.
It was far much better before when it was referenced to an album rather than to a genre. PLEASE DO REVERT TO THE PREVOUS INFO (8 ALBUMS IN THE SAME STYLE). I hope lots of people think that way. |

Sometimes it works perfectly, but sometimes results are unexpected (for example, it is not obvious that URIAH HEEP fans will like RUSH). Anyway useful feature. |
