Here are my top 250 albums per my ratings in progfreak.

Wow. 250+ albums rated 9/10 or above?!

That is out of 7400+ albums. I'm bound to think that at least some of them are magnificent or stellar. Otherwise what the heck am I doing listening to all of this music.

Oh, sure, but it's an impressive number, and an impressive number of total albums, nonetheless.

I'm loving how all over the map most of these lists are, usually when you ask for a top 10 or 20 you get a vibe, you go out to top 200 and you see how diverse peoples tastes really are.

^Yeah I am loving the eclectic spirit of this thing.

Too bad about those live albums... Some bands are just faaaaar superior in a live setting.

Magma fx.....and The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, SBB, Kraan, Grobschnitt, Derek & the Dominoes, Allman Bros, Cream, Santana and so forth. Some of these artists aren't even featured on my list, because their studio releases weren't good enough. Allman Bros, Jimi and Grobschnitt most notably.

^Yeah, there were several live albums that I would have loved to include but couldn't; with PoS's 12:5, In the Woods.... Liveatthecaledonianhall and The Gathering's Sleepy Buildings being the most notable absenses, the first 2 might even have been top 10 for me.

Thanks, 10 years on this sight has certainly seen me exposed to an enormous variety of music and every one of those albums I listed I'd rate 4.5 or higher.

Great list Dean. So great that I am reconsidering my own (how on earth did I miss PiL?).

Ok, will think about it over Christmas. Thumbs Up

Just the thought of finding the first 100 albums and rank them gives me headaches already... Wacko

Whoops, that was not intentional

1. Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East

18. The Who - Live at Leeds (expanded edition)

40. Janis Joplin - In Concert

41. Pink Floyd - Ummagumma

71. Fleetwood Mac - Live in Boston (the Boston Tea Party live albums)

77. Jimi Hendrix - Live at Winterland 1968

No live albums buddy Wink

(oh and why is Ummagumma listed twice? The cactus that often goes with it has finally made you loopy Tongue

)

Ummagumma is not a live album, it is a studio album, including tracks preformed in front of an audience, just like "Robert Palmers - Maby it is Live"

Even the most respected Progressive Site (something called ProgArchives) note :

Studio Album, released in 1969

I love that there is so much punk/goth rock, especially since most dismiss it as being the death of prog.

There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark...
