The vote may be interesting Greg, but is of little practical value. The decision to add them has been taken and they have been added.Wink

You have to take into consideration that Fragile has a lot more reviews than Seventh Son, so in time Seventh Son's rating may in fact go down, but it all depends on how people review it.

So? Kraftwerk's Man Machine blows both of these out of the water at 4.56

When are you guys going to leave it alone and just accept that ratings are superficial. There is NO objective way to rank albums.

I think "Fragile" does consist just 4 really prog- songs.
The others are solos...

How would the rating of Kraftwerk be if you wrote a rewiew about it and give it 1 stars?
Welcome back my friends to the show of hands!

I've noticed that Iron Maiden, which had three albums in the top 500 a few days ago, is not faring nearly so well in the list anymore.  Now they only have one album in the top 500, that being Seventh Son.  I noticed it had made it to about 140 at one time but quickly dropped as many people rated the albums it had surpassed and is now at 237. Some ratings manipulation.

In a  way I felt that the quick rise of (the Prog-related) Iron Maiden is vindication enough for placing them on PA (after all, Seventh Son at 4.46 is considered by some to be an "Excellent addition to any prog music collection).  I just noticed that it's prog with a small p which indicates that specifically one is rating based partially on an album being progressive (adjective) music but not necessarily Prog (noun with a P writ large).  Have the descriptors been changed at all? Progressive music?  As an inclusionist, I would like to see the day when this site does not limit itself to rock or rock based genres.  Progressive jazz anyone?

Hard to deny that the album progressed metal, and therefore I agree that it is an excellent addition for progressive people interested in acquiring albums which progressed musical genres.

4.46
Excellent addition to any
prog music collection
