3 stars are very good albums
ps - Dont forget that I grade stiffly using the full 1-5 star rating system.
5 being masterpiece, dont give this mark to many
4 being near masterpiece, or very good, classic sound, defining
3 being really good, some may consider classic, worthy listen
2 being good or collectors or those who really like the band, clone bands
1 being some good some fair songs, fair clone bands, not bad anything below this I dont consider worth rating  |

What a funny list! If you're talking about Roxy Music, where's STREET LIFE? I also assume you've limited yourself to performers included in Progarchives, otherwise where are the Who, the Stones, Led Zep, David Bowie and Lou Reed? (All of whom recorded far better stuff than Deep Purple, Queen or [yuk!] Rush...)
(Not to mention Graham Parker, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, Patti Smith and the Pretenders: first rate R&R, every single one of them!) No, don't worry, I AM a proghead!

The only rating that I could *never* agree with - is 2 stars for Queen II. Especially from a prog standpoint it is their masterpiece!

Not really. Realistic would be my description, although he is just as severe as I am
I am more shocked that Supertramp and Roxy's proggier moments are rated lower than their poppier albums: COTC is less than BIA anf Roxy's FYP less than Siren????  and Mike's remark about Queen too!------------- 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 |

Sorry Hugues, but nothing is realistic about Rush's best albums being two stars. Two stars for me = mediocrity that is just about fit for a listen. I admire Dallas Bryan for being excellent in his impartiality, except those medium-rated Schulze albums I had no major discontent (  ), but up to some albums it's just too low. Rush, overall, in its best years, is anything but a two stars. On the other hand, The Beatles being such jewels and models is also edgy in realistic impression. I admit that, up here, I personally dislike the Beatles; but it's the perspective of many albums being of high value. Disproportion or what? Exception from the impartiality or am I just mistaking?  -------------

Well his Beatles ratings seems flawless except for the Magical Mystery tour which I give three stars (and two according to Dallas's scale)
Rush: it really depends if you dig Geddy's Vocals doesn't it?
and if you read the scale Bryan gives under his list (this means forget the PA scale),  is still good.------------- 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 |

well I said two stars in my version. DallasB does not have other accent than good. Leaving, indeed, PA out of the bussines, can anything of 1 star sound like "some good and fair"? (this is nothing too serious meant, just discussing, if we caught the motion of discussion...) -------------

Why is Magical Mystery Tour rated higher than Sgt. Pepper's? Also, you've rated Rush too low all around. ------------- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"- Evelyn Beatrice Hall |
