Which PA threads of 2024 did you find the most entertaining? I've noticed that certain threads have a way of briefly disappearing, only to be vehemently revived just when you least expect it. My favorite threads of 2024 must include:

1. Praised prog albums that you think are overrated
2. Your Prog Rock Hot Takes
3. ELP Underrated?
4. What is Rush's worst album?

And of course, the recent favorite, up to 7 pages already:

5. Is Rush prog

Of threads I started, I think "Disappointing follow-up albums" received the best (and most) responses.

Right now it's "Is Rush prog?"   

From your list I do like a nice 'Is ELP Underrated/Overrated?' argument.

Paul's threads come to mind, specifically his Gong family polls where I voted for Holdsworth a lot.

Paul’s threads are great. I spend more time on YouTube than I do here now!

You've just given me an idea for another series of polls. Thumbs Up

It's always going to be an ELP discussion thread as an obsessive fan!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag
that's a happy bag of lettuce
this car smells like cartilage

^ Ah the glory days when we'd get six or seven people participating.   Seems absurd nonsense doesn't play as well as it used to.
