I hate this site. Lady Gaga isn't #1 and she has 50.3 million fans on Facebook; the true measuring stick for popularity.

^ Unlucky Dougie - in tonight's Top Trumps I'm afraid you've only picked the #7 answer - if you had gone for Rihanna (55.1m) or Eminem (55.3m) you could have gone through to the next round and a chance of winning tonight's star prize of a free phone app that allows you to "like" things on a social network site that allows you to like things, which of course is the number one "liked" thing on the social network site that allows you to "like" things with over 81million people "liking" Facebook For Every Phone... yes that's right folks... the thing that people "like" most on Facebook is the phone app that allows them to "like" things on Facebook... once again for the hard of comprehending... every 211mS a person on this Earth uses their opposable thumb to click a button on an app on a mobile phone to register their approval of the app on their phone that has a button that their highly evolved thumb can click on and then use that app on that phone to tell the other 81,212,811 people (as of  GMT 10:49 1/5/2012) who also managed that same feet of human dexterity who also have the same app and "liked" it so much they felt the need to register that on a social network site.

Well apparently the OP is a genius when it comes to evaluating music.   Just because your personal favorites aren't on it or placed where you think they ought to be there must be something wrong with it.  Like the likes on facespace or whatever aren't a popularity contest like.  I really don't bother with it.  I value it like a horoscope.  For amusement purposes only.  Not to be taken as the penultimate guide to the best albums in the universe and everything.  Why do I get the feeling the complaint wouldn't have been launched if there were more Dream Theater titles in the top 100?

I am reminded of a Robert Fripp song NY3
"Well get out, there's the door
Well get out, there's the door
Well get out, there's the door
Well get out, there's the door" LOL

Having said that, I did give Crime Of The Century a try because it was the only title out of ten albums I hadn't heard before on the list that I could find in stock at a local record store.  I had gone searching for something new to me and used it and found something good.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Prog-Metal fans are welcome if they understand that this is not a Prog-Metal site.

Woah man, reality is like, not reality man.... Reality is like, a subjective projection of our own subconscious.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the Top 100, it hits most every objectively 'essential' prog record.
