 Topic: Best artists/albums not in the top 500
Posted: November 12 2007 at 13:04 |
What do you think are great albums/DVD's from artists that aren't in the top 500? Here are the ones that I came up with: Eternity X - The Edge The 3rd and the Mortal - Painting on Glass The 3rd and the Mortal - In This Room After Forever - Invisible Circles The Gathering - How to Measure a Planet? The Gathering - Souvenirs Angra - Temple of Shadows Stream of Passion - Live in the Real World (DVD) Stream of Passion - Embrace the Storm Paatos - Kallocain Agua de Annique - Air Elfonia - This Sonic Landscape Dial - Synchronized Within Temptation - Mother Earth

I'm not sure and I'm not going to check but if After crying's Overground music is not in that list it makes a good choice IMO.

I can't see any of them in the Top 500 fair enough...

I've rated all of them and reviewed at least 2. It's hard for me to find the free time to write many reviews though.

For me, I'd say:
Can - Tago Mago
Taal - Skymind
Discus - ...tot licht!
Magma - M.D.K
King Crimson - Lizard
The Residents - Not Available
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Univers Zero - Ceux Du Dehors, 1313
+ many, many RIO/Avant albums without enough ratings

you've got to be kidding me... there AREN'T in the top 500
yet another reason why these lists are pointless.... prog...
great prog.. is supposed to challenge the listener.. and if reviewers can't
acknowledge that and review the album accordingly... the reviews are
worthless as well

Some of those artists are in the top 500. I assume you're listing albums whether the artists are in the top 500 or not.

Fortunately, Within Temptation is not in the Archives, and I hope that this is not going to change.

There are some albums which are not in the top 500 just because they're still only in my band submissions workings.

Agreed as well and written some beautiful reviews for all of their albums  (excluding the first two).
Agreed on Paatos as well.
I won't open the ranking system discussion as well, but as long as even a classic record like Operation: Mindcrime is only around the lower bound of the top 500, I feel the new algorithm has a bit of a strange weighting of average rating and number of ratings... on the other hand, the lightly esoteric character is fun and challenges self-cleaning.

Heh. I would say that album (their 1st) is by far the best out of their 3 albums. I actually don't like their 2nd and 3rd albums.
