Wobbler has two albums in the Top Prog Albums (all-time) on PA. It's still early in this poll, but do the Wobbler fans not participate in these forums? I'm baffled why they aren't up there with Porcupine Tree. Confused

Unfortunately, none of those obscure bands have enough points so far to make it into the Top 10, but there's still time. Smile

They’re getting there without Crisi’s help, at the moment. From 11th to 8th after just one more contribution.

1. IQ
2. Porcupine Tree
3. Big Big Train
4. Glass Hammer
5. Magenta
6. Haken
7. Lazuli

top 5 was easy to choose but then it's tricky after that. Annoying to have to leave out the likes of Frost*, Muse and Anathema as well as Wobbler, Elephant 9 and Anglagard who are all brilliant but I had to take into account the quantity of releases as well as quality.

Ignoring Paul’s scoring for the moment, there are a few bands showing up on more than list (and, because I’m ignoring the scoring, I have included all the honourable mentions). The results are perhaps not so surprising. If all the bands with only one mention are removed, this is what is left:

1. Porcupine Tree (8 mentions)
2=. Anekdoten (6 mentions)
2=. Big Big Train
4. IQ (5 mentions)
5=.Koenji Hyakkei (4 mentions)
5=. Present
5=. Wobbler

8=. 5uu’s (3 mentions)
8=. Änglagård 
8=. Beardfish 
8=. Cardiacs
8=. Dream Theater
8=. Izz
8=. Marillion
8=. Neal Morse
8=. Riverside
8=. Spock’s Beard
8=. The Tangent
8=. Thinking Plague
8=. Transatlantic 

21=. After Crying (2 mentions)
21=. Cheer-Accident
21=. Deluge Grander
21=. Echolyn
21=. The Flower Kings
21=. Frost*
21=. Magenta
21=. Miriodor
21=. Pallas
21=. Solstice 
21=. Talk Talk

(Quick edit to take in to account the three posts following this one.)
