Amen.

What a wonderful improvement, and a victory for flexibility and liberty Wink
Seems to be working splendidly - except for the country filter, which seems to be left out from the code, but perhaps that's exactly what your phrase "most of the features" is referring to?

Hi M@X. Great job although the Country tab does not work. Is it going to get fixed? I hope so. I want to search for all my favorite Canadian bands! Embarrassed
Best of 2006 that I've heard:
PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione
Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific
2007:
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo

I'm getting an error every time I try to search with more than one year selected.  Is anybody else having this problem?

The post rock sub genres taking a beating.
 
But this might be a good call to review more albums!

Strange.  I swear it wasn't working half an hour ago but it works for me now.  Oh well.

Excellent work with the main top albums link. However, I think the "key 20 albums" in each subgenre should be changed back; the less-popular genres take a huge hit Unhappy. Especially if there's no option to change the minimum number of reviews...
 
Heh, the Zeuhl page is now completely dominated by Magma..

you still have the key albums to each genre; just click on the genre name itself

Here's a suggestion for another feature:

While exploring the various national scenes, I tried to get an overview of how the African continent was represented in ProgArchives. Not surprisingly, it's not very heavily represented. I did a similar thing to Oceania, and made a lot of interesting new acquaintances. But a lot of the countries, in particular in Africa and Oceania, but also in the other continents, are empty - they have no representation. And that made me wonder if they perhaps should be grouped together to make browsing easier?

In other words, in order both to make the geographical browsing feature more accessible, and to raise the awareness of "underrepresented" or not-so-known areas, how about grouping countries together in continents? In addition to the existing functionality, of course. (gnosis2000.net has a similar function, but not very user-friendly.)

Perhaps even with the possibility to exclude the dominant nation, so that the UK wouldn't dominate all European lists, Japan all Asian and US  all American lists?
