Subject: Points to ten favoured albums
Date Posted: November 24 2006 at 14:21

Hi, I did this 'survey' a few years ago at a sci-fi shows forum http://www.sadgeezer.com/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3914&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=5b9d0974195074c858ed01982f604818 - (in case you want to see how it worked, but people weren't doing it in a standardised enough way) and thought I might try it at this site.

Please list ten of your favourite Prog albums, but only one album per band from favourite to least favourite of ten of your favourites (ten of the 'best' of your 'best'), and please limit it to studio albums. Your first choice will be given a value of ten points, your second choice a value of nine points, your third a value of 8 points, and so on down to one point. I will periodically tally up the points from the various lists. Actually, better yet, if each subsequent person would make his/ her own list, and then after that make a compiled and point (rank) ordered list of all albums mentioned (including his or her own choices) with the points, that would help (simple with utilising copy and paste from the former post or by quoting and then editing to include one's own new choices and, if applicable, add one's own points to existent choices).

So here's my list (please stick to this format so that it's easier to tally and so others can see clearly from your list how it works):

Focus - Hamburger Concerto (10 points)

Gentle Giant - Acquiring the Taste (9 points)

Gryphon - Midnight Mushrumps (8 points)

PFM - Per un Amico (7 points)

Bacamarte - Depois do Fim (6 points)
Camel - The Snow Goose (5 points)

Le Orme - Contrappunti (4 points)

Carpe Diem - Ceuille le Jour (3 points)

The Enid - In the Region of the Summer Stars (2 points)

Renaissance - Sheherazade and Other Stories (1 point)

Now this little exercise is primarily just for fun, of course. In fact, most of these albums are pretty much equal for me despite the discrepancy in points. They are all favourites, after all. I've been rather arbitrary in the way I've ordered it. I could have easily chosen other albums by some of these bands, and I've left many of my favoured bands and albums off the list like Magma, Maneige, Genesis, Banco, Locanda delle Fate, Happy the Man, Anglagard, Kotebel, and many others though they could just as easily have gone here).

^ absolutely, thanks!

We have no duplicates, but just to be extra clear on this for all others... And when someone chooses a favourite album (or albums) for his or her 'personal' list that another has chosen already, he or she merely add his or her points to the already existing album in the (secondary) 'compilation' list.

Thanks for the responses, and for doing the compiled list. I really appreciate it. I think I made a mistake doing this experiment in just for fun since, well, it's not as 'fun' as other topics here, and it really wasn't just for fun, but I did it here just to be on the extra safe side (less likely my topic would have to be moved). I like the idea of forum compilation lists as a way of determining the popularity of albums and bands with board contributors, for discovering new bands as recommendations, but mostly as an easy means to review all of the selections -- rather than reading every post that might go on for several pages, having an updated list as a supplement tends to help me in certain cases.

I've already found two completely new to me bands thanks to your contributions here (had heard something of all of the others, and have liked what I've heard). I was not familiar with Index, despite my particular inclination towards Brazilian Prog. Heard their samples at their site, good stuff. And Fulano I just have to hear -- Chilean Jazz/ Rock Fusion -- perfect! And when will I get around to buying that brilliant Comus album? Been meaning to for ages.

Anyway, the next step I was hoping to do if I the compilation lists didn't get too, too long too fast was to add up the points from each band's albums for an extra compilation list. I hope I got them all. As you can see, Genesis is on top with 61 points when all of their album points are added up. Really, the top bands are no surprise, and is pretty much in conformance with what one has come to expect from other lists (like the top 100 albums at this site). Rush is a bit low at this stage, but considering that so few people contributed, this microcosm's faves reflect a wider opinion. What a great list of albums this is which includes widely recognised greats, as well as lesser-known gems. Very nice indeed! A ton of my favourites here, and so many I've heard songs off, but wish to buy.

Band albums points compilation list:

Genesis: Selling England By The Pound (28 points) + Foxtrot (26 points) + A Trick of the Tale (7 Points) = 61 points altogether
Yes: Relayer (25 points) + Close to the Edge (16 points) + Fragile (5 points) = 46
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here (17 points) + Dark Side Of The Moon (14 points) + Animals (8 points) = 39
King Crimson: Red (25 points) + In the Court of the Crimson King (10 points) + Lark's Tongues In Aspic (2 points) = 37
Jethro Tull: Thick as a Brick (19 points) + Aqualung (8 points) + A Passion Play (7 points) = 34
Gentle Giant: Acquiring the Taste (9 points) + Octopus (8 points) + Three Friends (7 points) + Free Hand (2 Points) = 26
Van Der Graaf Generator: Pawn Hearts (14 points) + Godbluff (5 points) + H to He, Who Am The Only One (3 points) = 22
Camel: Camel (8 Points) + The Snow Goose (5 points) + A Live Record (4 points) + Mirage (3 points) = 20
Radiohead: Amnesiac (10 points) + Kid A (9 Points) = 19
Porcupine Tree: Recordings (8 points) + Deadwing (4 points) + In absentia (4 points) = 16
