Thanks for mentioning my name so many times, keep in mind that my father refused to give any compliment during the first 80 years of his life so you have compensated a lot, this means very much to me, what a boost Thumbs%20Up

Personally I appreciate Cesar Inca Mendoza, Salmacis, Ricochet, ZowieZiggy, Sean Trane, Gatot, Andrea Cortese, Sinkadotentree and Easy Livin because of the way they blend a personal flavor with a good view and an important amount of objectivity so you can rely on these reviewers. In fact Prog Archives hosts many good reviewers at this moment!
 
And I have to mention Avestin, Prog-jester and Bhikkhu for their support to lesser and unknown new progrock bands Clap

I tend to enjoy the reviews of ZowieZiggy, Gatog and The T the most (of the ones who review a lot) and have musical tastes similar to mine for the most part. Ricochet has the best usage of the English language here, though I need a bit of concentration in order to comprehend his reviews well. His musical tastes are similar as well from the albums I know.

The reviews from all collaborators are very informative and the only subpar ones tend to be mostly on the early reviews, which may be due to the fact that the reviewers were not titled 'prog reviewer' at that time. Hey, some of my early reviews are embarrasing Embarrassed

My faves are Jester's, Easy Livin and Gatot.

You should make a least favorite to stir up a hornets nest! (just kidding)

woa, nice topic, made it passed these eyes somehow.

The reviewers I follow almost religously - I read pretty much everything they write on here:

Finnforest, Erik, Salmacis, Dave Connoly (when he used to review), Ivan Melgar Morey, Peter Rideout, Andrea Parentin, ClemofNazareth

ClapClapClap
 
Special mention to these talented individuals:
 
Gatot, Bob McBeath,  Hugues, James Unger, Cesar Inca, Martin Vengadesan, Andrea Cortese, Micky & Raf, Shakespeare (what are you doing here...don't you have some sonnets to write?), Russelk, Rollie Anderson, Tszirmay, maani, Cert, James Lee...
 
phew...you can see I've read a good many reviews (without writing any myselfOuch), these are the people that spring to mind right away, really everyone is an excellent reviewer that I've come across.  I'd like to express my gratitude to all of the individuals who work hard to make this place the best source of prog rock reviews on the web IMO
 
 
ClapClapClap
 
as Gatot would say, Keep on Proggin'

Easy Livin and Gatot - one reason for that is because their taste is closest to mine.

Mine would be Chamberry. So many times I come to an album page and there is only 1 rating and low and behold it is Chamberry. If not for Chamberry so many albums would have no reviews at all.

Thank you

Folly was one of the greats, but he's been gone for several months now.  He says he's coming back soon, though.

*goddamn these pop-up ads when I am trying to listen to groups for this damn site on my computer... can't do that and keep the volume down*

rant over...


she has been raving about it to me.. has made me interested to hear it... and I am definitely not a fan of the group.  I'm in her boat and do find it interesting when groups do covers/interpetations like that.  She does have a good number of albums, as she mentions in her review, and they are really interesting to listen to... but for the insipid DT album with those cover songs on it... was enough to send me running to grab a Caravan album LOL

I don't know who my favorite reviewer is, but there's this one review that is the greatest review ever in all dimensions. It's a review of The Flower King's Unfold the Future by a guy called Man Overboard. Most epic story leading into a review ever, I can so picture being in that situation. Read it, all of you.
