Lots of commenters on the site seem to use and like its radio function.

I'm not that familiar with their radio function, but don't they have various radio stations listed by band.  So for example you could listen to VDGG radio, and the music that you hear will in theory either be from VDGG or at least somewhat resemble VDGG?

It plays a mix of that band and similar artists that you should theoretically enjoy.

I don't hear that much of a VdGG sound, but that song is easily better than anything Kansas ever did.

I discovered Comus when looking over PA's top prog-folk albums (as displayed on the top of the category page).

To my ears this piece sounds a lot like VdGG.

Matt, how do you make your last.fm signature a link instead of just an image?  I assume that you have to type something different than [img]{/img}

You have to put [url] tags around the [img] tags.

Maybe it was one of those moments when M@x was trying different formulas to calculate the ratings. I don't think I've ever seen the prog-folk top 20 without Comus since 2006, but that might be an explanation.

Speaking of M@x history of modifications of the ratings calculation, a few years ago he implemented a formula that put so much emphasis on obscure bands with small numbers of ratings that it almost started a riot. The poor bands who snatched albums on high positions in the overall chart got lynched, especially Phoenix who had Cantafabule on #33. Who the Censored is that band? LOL
