 Topic: RYM's Top 10 Prog Albums
Posted: May 13 2015 at 09:07 |
Firstly, I only took one album from each artist from their top prog rock albums chart to make this top 10 (otherwise it would just have been Pink Floyd, with a little Can). As RateYourMusic (RYM) includes fans of all kinds of musical genres, I thought it would be fun to see what you think of their tastes on progressive music, and how people on ProgArchives' tastes compare with them. Personally, "Selling England" is just about my favourite at the moment, with Yes, VDGG, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson coming extremely close. If anyone's wondering by the way, the reason why the ratings are sometimes incorrect is to do with the number of votes and their slightly biased system.
Thanks for any feedback

I always feel bad voting for DSotM because there are only about five albums that could beat it.

Voted for Close to the Edge

Went with DSotM, very closely followed by ITCOTCK. Second tier for me in no particular order would by CTTE, SEbtP, TAAB and Thick...

TaaB, followed by DSotM, CttE and ItchyCock. My initial impression, actually.

Voted CAN here, where is Radiohead - OK Computer? It's the top rated album on RYM.

That is only an illusion, caused by listening to too many Can albums consecutively.

I'm a Crimson fan so I went with them but Yes and Genesis aren't far behind in my book.
