Your welcome.
 
For those curious. these are the average ratings by subgenre (again, aprox).
 
the weighted average is taken into account the nr of ratings for an album, the normal average is counting every album as 1. of course the weighted average is more accurate, but as I can't compensate for the logarythm used to calculate the averages on this site it's still not perfect.
 
nr albums with ratings average rating nr. ratings weight adjusted
average rating
Canterbury Scene 289 3,51 3558 3,83
Crossover Prog 840 3,29 8968 3,53
Eclectic Prog 982 3,43 12958 3,83

Indo-Prog/Raga Rock 74 3,49 231 3,53
Italian Symphonic Prog 578 3,36 5817 3,80
Jazz Rock/Fusion 1402 3,58 7745 3,81
Krautrock 388 3,42 2675 3,69

Progressive Electronic 626 3,19 2862 3,54
Progressive Metal 857 3,56 15237 3,83
Proto-Prog 329 3,29 3997 3,61
Psychedelic/Space Rock 936 3,43 10228 3,80
RIO/Avant-Prog 905 3,55 5502 3,82
Symphonic Prog 1735 3,37 31462 3,74
Tech/Extreme Prog Metal 353 3,52 4010 3,88
Zeuhl 126 3,84 1267 3,99
total albums with rating 14280
average rating 3,42
total nr of ratings 160028
average nr of ratings per album 11,21
nr of albums currently in Dbase 18107
nr albums without rating (aprox) 3827
weighted average rating 3,73
 
Nr of bands currently in Dbase          3599
Nr of bands used                                  3234
 
Naturally the weighted average is higher, as the more popular and higher regarded albums are far more often rated, so they weigh heavy on the average.
