Lately I did a statistical survey on my ProgRock collection. Thought it might be interesting to share it with you.
My ProgRock collection includes 616 albums. Following are some statistics :
YEAR ANALYSIS :
1 - Albums from the 1970s make up 36.2%.
2 - Albums from the 1980s make up 12.3%.
3 - Albums from the 1990s make up 24.5%.
4 - Albums from the 2000s make up 24.3% (so far).
5 - The year 1974 ranks first with 35 albums, followed by 1975 with 29 albums.
6 - The year 1986 ranks last with 2 albums, followed by 1983, 1988, and 1989, each with 6 albums.
COUNTRY ANALYSIS :
1 - The U.K. ranks first with 249 albums from 59 artists (average 4.2 albums/artist).

7 - Other than the Top 11 (Top 10 + the Netherlands), no country has more than 3 artists in my collection.
8 - Countries with one artist but more than one album include Mexico (Cast with 9 albums), Iceland (Sigur Ros with 4 albums), Greece (La Tulipe Noire with 4 albums), and Portugal (Tantra with 3 albums).
9 - Countries with one artist and one album include Peru (Cabezas De Cera, self-titeled), New Zealand (Lamp of the Universe, "The cosmic union"), Denmark (Beyond Twilight, "For the love of art and the making"), and Chile (Subterra, "Sombras del invierno").
10 - Australia is not represented in my collection at all. Same applies to Africa as a whole, and Asia (except Japan).
I would appreciate some comments on whether this is a balanced collection.
