Quality of albums aside you think Genesis is higher in importance to the genre than ELP.  Curious to your reasoning on that (or anyone's for that matter)

Well,

There's a way to say your opinion. For example I love King crimson but I appreciate Ivan's different opinion for 2 reasons : first, he does not saying "that's my opinion so it's got to be true". He respects other opinions than his. Second, he listen to the music (and read the words) before he make up his mind.
I would strongly suggest to the guy who started this thread to learn something here.

And if we are talking about the way the top 100 list is made I think I know how. You time the logarithmus of "number of ratings" by the squared "average rate". This gives much more power to the high rates than the amount of ratings. The list in this algorythm is much more diverse and interesting than the one we had before. Still my list (as everyones I guess) will look a beat different but nobody (not even Ivan) heared all prog music exist.

hmmm, taking into account likes and dislikes is one thing. How about an 'attempted' rational view of the albums and artists which tries to take criteria such as influence and innovation into them.  Check this out and tell me what you think.  We have a rather small pool of people that input these lists (acutally 3 people who are the main input), so don't go crazy if you see something out of place ha ha hah.  I tend to think that looking at the bigger picture of the albums and groups is just as interesting as the music itself.  For what it's worth, you all have helped a great deal. Many ideas, and much informatiion tossed around there have gone into these lists.

The only logical reason i see to dislike King Crimson is because Robert Fripp's looks in the "Red" cover match exactly those of a civil servant: round glasses, small beard and that "don't bother me, i'm busy" gesture . Apart from that, they'd be in my top 100 for sure!!
