Sometimes I browse artist discographies, and it can get tedious having to go back and forth between artist and album pages on PA. Is there some way to build in a chronology, similar to what Wikipedia has for albums, so one can just go from "Nursery Crymes" to "Foxtrot" without having to go back to the Genesis main page?

Don't click left on the album, click right and open it in a new tab, while keeping the discography page open.

There was a browser like you're asking for, but it was discontinued a few years back, for reasons I don't remember. Probably not coming back, though people regularly ask.

I think it was removed as it affected the performance of the site too much.
 
M@x is always open to suggestions though, so perhaps be'll be able to revisit this one.

I've suggested this many times now and M@X seemed OK with the idea.

Sounds hopeful then, I guess he has been busy of late with the new sites.

Cool!
Although I should make another thread, is there any way to get a list of prog bands by country?

^ That thread is almost 6 years old and the link given in it does not work anymore. Try here.
