Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road, Hallogallo, Djed, The Ikon, wasn't expecting any of these to actually make it. Very nice. I think I forgot to vote for Chord Change. I'll forgive The Colony of Slippermen being above Cassandra Gemini. I like House With No Door but that immediately strikes me as being a bit too high.

For the record, I actually did vote for that one.

Uh oh, The Battle of Epping Forest is higher than Animale Senza Respiro. Everybody take cover...

Whiter Shade of Pale above Scorched Earth? 
Stagnation above Islands?
Fallen Angel above On Reflection?

These rankings are starting to get a bit questionable LOL

coffee this morning...

after 11 years on this site... it doesn't surprise me... I've given up trying to figure out what kind of sh*t most people here have stuffed into their ears to explain things like that.

Do a blind listening test... one dull and flaccid.. the other powerful and passionate.  ZERO contest. 

No.. not surprised... but still enough to see my blood pressure spiked upward LOL

Anyway, no immediate objections to the latest update, mostly understandable if not agreeable choices. I'm quite surprised at how high Prelude: Song of the Gulls is. Fine song I suppose, but not even one of KC's best, much less deserving to be just outside the top 100. Ah well, it's all random votes compiled together anyway. I'm pretty sure Herbie Hancock's Sleeping Giant has to have made the top 100, so that's good.

Song Within a Song was pretty high on my list, and I forgot Chord Change, but Slow Yourself Down is great. The vocals at the beginning are a bit... quiet, but the song overall is intense, complex, and rocks harder than prog has any right to. I've listened to it a disturbing amount of times (still not as much as Song Within a Song, probably the one song I've heard the most).

Sorry I missed participating in this.  Somehow the thread regarding submitting song lists eluded me this time around.

Actually I admit it takes off quite nicely in the second half, although I find the songwriting and singing in the first half rather lame... anyway at the end of the day it of course boils down to taste but still I'm curious what motivates such to me totally counterintuitive ranking decisions.

i'm noticing a LOT of PFM listed...I've never even heard of them before this site (but i'll be checking them out). 
Are they that loved here, or is just happenstance that a lot of PFM fans found this poll?

i don't think i've ever gotten around to trying camel either. just too much music!

Man, if you have any sort of appreciation for feeling human emotions, PFM will rock your world. You have much to learn, grasshopper. RPI... that is your homework, my apprentice. LOL

Check out any of their three albums in the PA top 100. Storia Di Un Minuto is the most romantic, Per Un Amico is the most refined and L'isola Di Niente is oddly Yes-like. All three are excellent, though!
