The list most definitely gets more inaccurate the further down you go.        Ewwww look at all that Rush on the list! Otherwise great list! Interesting that you like Dowsing more than Choirs and Leitmotif more than the rest of dredg's catalogue.   And yes this was quite difficult, and I already realized I forgot two important bands in my list, not to mention other great ones I knowingly omitted for lack of space. I couldn't imagine doing an accurate one including all genres. I do have fun with these kinds of things though, to an extent.

Her's my 50 favorite prog albums of all time. 

I've tried to make a top 100, but it became too messy and it cost me too much effort and time.  

3 more to enter, I finally have more than 200 albums with more than 100 pts, meaning more than one verson voted for the album and greater than any album score with only one vote. I'll do my countdown from 200.

But we have another week to go....

Pretty fun this one,

Intriguing, yes.
