CTTE is a way better # 1 than SEBTP. i love both of 'em, but CTTE really has something magical for me... I give it 4 days tops.

To be honest, Thick As A Brick would be my choice for #1. CTTE and SEBTP can be nicely replaced by Relayer and Foxtrot.

I have no idea how long it will take, but I surely don't want to see Genesis as number one. I prefer Fragile and the Yes Album to CTTE, but I would like to see it back on top.

I say screw Selling England by the Pound, put Thick as a Brick as #1!
To really answer the question, I think it'll be up there for about a week until all the Yes fans get their acts together and start giving CTTE a bunch of five star reviews.

It's good to see a change, though I don't think CttE will be absent for long.

The Lamb is better than Foxtrot and Selling England...

I couldn't agree more. I'd actually like to have Foxtrot as the number one prog album. Supper's Ready, along with Tarulus, is one of the greatest epics ever made and a perfect example of what prog is.

my vote would be for......who knows...don't care hahha Remember
when Thick as a Brick went on top earlier this year and was promptly
knocked down by reviews that came out nowhere...

Hopefully Selling England will be there forever, it certainly deserves to be.

The simplest album is WHO CARES?
It won't be a masterpiece because t's N° 1 or a piece of crap because some fans of CTTE start adding 1, 2 or 3 stars ratings (As always happens).
It's exactly the same great album in N° 1 or 10 but still I like Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, Trespass and The Lamb more.
Let's check something as an experiment now that's still N° 1:
SEBTP (452 entries)
 Essential: a masterpiece of progressive music (75%)
 Excellent addition to any prog music collection (13%)
 Good, but non-essential (6%)
 Collectors/fans only (2%)
 Poor. Only for completionists (3%)
CTTE (515 Entries):
Essential: a masterpiece of progressive music (75%)
Excellent addition to any prog music collection (12%)
Good, but non-essential (6%)
Collectors/fans only (3%)
Poor. Only for completionists (4%)
Will check it again as soon as it leaves N° 1 spot, all the number of entries and percentage, because wee need many ratings to ove the percentage.

That really depends on what a CTTE is. You internet folks are a nice enough lot, but ya abbreviate too damn much... |
You'll get used to it. I was also confused at first. There are a lot of albums, and bands, that are frequently referred to. It's just easier to abbreviate.
As far as the ratings, I don't care. I think "Foxtrot" is better than "Selling England by the Pound," but it doesn't bother me that it is rated lower. I know its place in my collection.

how bout a "neither deserve to be #1" choice? Foxtrot and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway are both better albums than Selling England By The Pound. Relayer and Fragile are better albums than Close to the Edge. And In The Court Of The Crimson King--An Observation By King Crimson (thats right I use it's full title) is a better album than all I've mentioned.

CttE is down to No. 4 now... I think it'll continue to drop for another couple of days, and will take more than a week to get back up. It's all nonsense anyway, but if I had my druthers I'd have Relayer in the No. 1 spot

It's laughable the way so many people in this thread offer OPINIONS about albums as if they were indisputable facts, and not matters of taste. 
And I don't give a rat's ass which album is in the number one spot, or for how long. (Little kids manipulate those ratings, anyway.) I love many great prog albums equally well, and their "positions" relative to each other here will never change that. I don't have to choose a "best."
I just don't understand this obsession with numbers, etc, re something as emotional, ethereal and individual as music. It's not math, or your stock portfolio, folks! 
Really -- stop acting like such silly progholes.
