Are there any albums you personally would want to see in the top 50 of Prog Archives, but currently aren't even in the TOP 250? Please don't post just any albums you'd place higher, but ones that you think should be at the very top, true and rare masterpieces. The rules: - Post only albums you would place in the top 50, but aren't currently in PA's list (with the filter on 250) - If the album you have in mind isn't listed in PA, but you think it deserves to be in our Top 50, go right ahead and post it. - This is NOT the place to argue which albums should definitely be taken down from the top. Kayo Dot - Coyote Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue Miles Davis - A Tribute to Jack Johnson Herbie Hancock - Crossings Radiohead - Kid A King Crimson - The Power to Believe ------------- "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent" - Victor Hugo |

So we have to think of an album we love, check that it isn't in the top 250 and then post that. Sounds like a lot of effort. I'm game......will need a bit of thinking. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

True.  But when you guys have the time for it, I think doing this could be rewarding for everyone concerned. ------------- "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent" - Victor Hugo |

^ Many of the "love and hate" albums are actually charted very low, because of the "hate" part, despite their significance. TFTO is a great example of this. |

Somebody's been listening to some pretty obscure stuff...  I think Koenjihyakkei and Henry Cow are the only bands here that I've even heard of. ------------- "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent" - Victor Hugo |

^ I was surprised too so I went back to check it and noticed I hadn't flagged the 'live' category with the filter. But hey ho, the album doesn't appear even after that?

If you only filter live albums, it is on place 101. In general, all albums below a rating of about 4 are not in the top 250. |

Date Posted: October 16 2010 at 12:33
I get around. It's mostly Avant-Prog/Rock in Opposition stuff though, with a few exceptions. |

Islands and a Passion Play not in the 250? I'm getting some shocks here. ( Maybe thats because I'm sticking my fingers into the lightbulb socket though) ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I am absolutely shocked and offended that this isn't in the top 250. I'm no fan of later Floyd, but Piper!! Thats one of the ones that kicked this all off! And c'mon!

I agree on TFTO, Islands and The Piper. Not that I would place them in the top 50, but they are very surprisingly low!

No it certainly ain't fushion (sic) but when an artist is added to PA in whatever category ALL their albums are added regardless. This practice has been debated at some length on the forums in the past but I think that the site owner MAX has stipulated he wishes it to continue. -------------
