sleeper you accidentally reversed you VdGG and Opeth Still Life entries

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

To Cacho: Is it supposed to be "Deep Purple - II" or did you mean the Led Zeppelin one?

My list will take some time, but Thick as a Brick got my attention recently.. may I predict that it will win?

Yeah, aren't they marvellous ? Don't see them in your list btw, did you forget ? Wink

You can always edit your post, you know.

Your list has an interesting aspect I have to say. You will not see too often Beatles and Stones albums in a personal list brotherly together. You like them both equally ? I like the Stones, Beatles not really though Revolver is ok.

A day without prog is a wasted day
