Okay, I searched, and don't think this has been done before.

Whatever your thoughts on the list (I know: "It's dominated by the same seven bands from the 70's", "too much Genesis in the top 10", "ELP isn't high enough", etc.), this isn't for list-bashing, like I said I did a search and read all the threads.

Go through the list and count how many you own, this isn't a competition, just for fun.

The List:

Thank god it's not a competition, because I'd be pretty weak:

39 for me (most of them by those seven bands alluded to above)

Numbers 1 thru 12, 14 thru 17, 23 thru 26, 29, 30, 32 thru 35, 40, 42, 44, 46, 49, 52, 53, 59 thru 62, 64, 69, 73, 83, 84, 90, 95 and 98.

That's 45 total.

Internet radio station Radioio 70's is playing "Supper's Ready" as I'm typing this.

On a quick check, 50 out of the top 100, with another 10 or so that I have owned but are no longer in my collection and probably another 15 - 20 that I've copied onto CDR or cassette.

This is well going to become a competition of ego and aristocracy

52 for me. Another interesting question would be which is the highest ranking album you don't have.
For me it's RIVERSIDE - Second Life Syndrome
Suritis: The Remembering.
Hopefully we should appreciate that given points in time are not so significant as the nature of what is impressed on the mind, and how it is retained and used.

62

But there are a couple or so that I wouldn't class as my cup of tea.

I'm suprised to see Synchestra so soon after its release. Make that 63 - Amazon here I come

A paltry 42 but then again people appear not to be blessed with my exquisite taste in prog and seem to have voted for some things that just shouldn't be there. How strange

I count 38, hmm pretty nice score for me. I havn't been as much into prog as I am now since last year. And I also try to collect some less known albums and musicians (Sweet Smoke people, grasp their brilliance!).
