Yeah, the number of albums taking a big hit in the rankings is surprising. I don't remember the like sof Close to the Edge popping up too often high up on lists either so it could be an interresting top 10. |

It would be interesting (although probably a lot of work) to do this annually. I wouldn't get too excited about the results. Given the limited data, results are going to be unstable/statistically unreliable. that doesn't stop them from being interesting however.

I don't think the previosuly unlisted albums need an indicator of how far they've risen, for instance I know that surprisingly Depois do Fim received zero votes in the previous incarnation of this poll (they were the only top 20 album to not get any votes last time around so I'm very happy to see them do well here now) so it really was completely unlisted last time.

I mean, even if Depois du Fim was completely unlisted last time, ie not making anyone's top 200, that just means it was effectively ranked below 3000 or how ever many albums were included, along with every other unmentioned album. But point taken. I'll leave it in for now, because I like the context, but I'll pull it if you or anyone else argues for it again. Actually, there were a lot of surprising omissions from the 2009 top 400 in comparison to now- no Rolling Stones, no Eno, no Cardiacs, a lot of individual albums that didn't make it.

I'm really surprised I had the highest vote (#44) for Per Un Amico. Where are the rest of the RPI folks around here?

I'm spotting some of my high votes as well, such as Yes' Going for the One at 8 and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks at 3. This makes the whole process more fun.

Here we go... maybe an unexpected start to the top 100?
100. Supertramp – Breakfast in America 447 pts 5 votes (#37 - RoeDent) ▲ Unlisted (300+) “On this album we are presented, finally, with the perfect marriage: gloriously vibrant pop songs with thoughtful lyrics and stunning arrangements. Here, for a brief moment, SUPERTRAMP became the memories of a generation.” – russellk
99. Iron Maiden - Powerslave 455 pts 4 votes (#24 – floflo79) ▲ Unlisted (301+) “… it
took all which came to be on the previous albums and refined them into amazing creations…
This is simply one of those beyond belief albums in music history much less
metal that demands to be heard and more than holds up the test of time.” – silly
puPPy
98. Dream Theater – Images and Words 457 pts 4 votes (#5 – DarkLizzard/RoeDent) ▼ 78 “Although
Images is DT’s second album, it was the first time when you could really feel
the emotion and true capabilities of this band… Images and Words to me is the
quintessential Dream Theater album and the best one to get into them.” – Marc Baum
97. Emerson, Lake and Palmer – Emerson, Lake and
Palmer 465 pts 7 votes (#14 – ten years after) ▲ 47 “That
keyboards could be that expressive, and that dominant was totally revelatory to
me… this eponymous debut album is one of the most important, foundational
albums of all of progressive rock music.” – BrufordFreak (#185)
96. Bob Dylan – Blood on the Tracks 469 pts 4 votes (#17 – Guldbamsen) ▲ Unlisted (304+) “it's an
affecting, unbearably poignant record, not because it's a glimpse into his
soul, but because the songs are remarkably clear-eyed and sentimental, lovely
and melancholy at once… Dylan made
albums more influential than this, but he never made one better.” – Stephen
Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic
95. Khan – Space Shanty 470 pts 5 votes (#18 – BaldFriede) ▲ Unlisted (305+) “For some
reason this album haunts me, and I return to it again and again. Is it the
excellent interplay of Hillage and Stewart? Is it the huge variety of meters on
the album (about every meter up to 13/8 is present on it)? It is an eerie
quality I can't quite grasp..” - BaldFriede (#18)
94. Stevie Wonder – Innervisions 473 pts 5 votes (#22 – Guldbamsen) ▲ Unlisted (306+) “It is
the album that best celebrates his musical maturity and completes the
transition from Little Stevie Wonder to the grown-up artist with an active
imagination and burning social conscience... It is the best long-form capturing
of Wonder’s talent, and remains a work of constant, evolving surprise.” – Daryl Easlea, BBC
93. Emerson, Lake and Palmer – Brain Salad Surgery 475 pts 7 votes (#36 – micky) ▼ 51 “"Brain
Salad Surgery" is a compendium of everything progressive rock is all
about, the good, the bad and the ugly… one of the absolute highpoints of its
genre, and no one can say to know prog rock without having ever listened to it
at least once.” - Raff
92. Mike Oldfield – Ommadawn 479 pts 5 votes (#2 – Nogbad the Bad) ▲ 119 “You
could spend all day listening out for the little snippets of texture that
emerge, re-merge and spin around inside this captivating piece… The range of
moods and atmospheres that the listener is taken through is quite stunning… an
original and very influential piece of work.” – Certif1ed
91. Premiata Forneria Marconi – Storia di un Minuto 481 pts 4 votes (#10 – andreol263) ▲ 21 “It's
hard to believe that music can get any better than the first two songs on this
record… This really should be in the collection of every person who loves
beautiful music.” – Mellotron Storm Edited by Kazza3 - January 30 2016 at 16:41 |

90. The Rolling Stones – Let It Bleed 483 pts 4 votes (#22 – micky) ▲ Unlisted (310+) “So
in Let It Bleed we can find every role the Stones have ever
played for us — swaggering studs, evil demons, harem keepers and fast life
riders… [the final track] is one of the most outrageous productions ever staged
by a rock and roll band, and every note of it works to perfection.” – Greil
Marcus, Rolling Stone
89. Opeth – Blackwater Park 491 pts 4 votes (#9 – sleeper) ▼ 58 “I
consider this all-encompassing, bleak atmosphere to be the strength of
Blackwater Park because it is created so exquisitely and without ever become
overwhelming and depressing the listener… it exceeds expectations and dishes
out one of the best albums of the last 10 years.” - sleeper (#9)
88. Pink Floyd – Ummagumma 496 pts 5 votes (#23 – tamijo) ▲ 134 “This is
the band at their most avant-garde and experimental… Floyd have a few slightly
more consistent albums, and their best songs are found elsewhere. Nonetheless
this is a unique musical statement.” – zravkapt (#72)
87. Porcupine Tree – Fear of a Blank Planet 500 pts 5 votes (#3 – RoeDent) ▼ 38 “Wilson's
undeniable gift for melody is intact and his charismatic voice is more
versatile and mature than ever before… With "Fear of a Blank Planet"
this talented band has once again given the world a work of art that is
intricate, brilliantly stimulating and thought-provoking.” - Chicapah
86. Tangerine Dream – Phaedra 504 pts 6 votes (#34 – Nogbad the Bad) ▲ 150 “You can't even sum up how sublime this album
is in words… haunting and at the same time incredibly beautiful and exciting.
This is another excellent album by TD and it not only defines their next
approach to their sound in this era, I believe it redefines electronic music
altogether.” - Watcheroftheskies
85. Can – Ege Bamyasi 508 pts 6 votes (#22 – Lewian) ▲ 75 “It's all
here: the rhythmically busy, near paranormal jamming; the quieter, more
hypnotic ballads; a couple of typically skewed pop songs; and another classic
CAN freak-out… in retrospect it may well be the quintessential CAN recording” –
Neu!mann
84. maudlin of the Well – Part the Second 508.2 pts 6 votes (#23 – DarkLizzard) New release “That
music--NEW music, like this--can be conceptualized, played, and performed at
such a high level of mastery, is, for me, so uplifting and hopeful… breathtaking
in both beauty and virtuosity. One of the most important progressive rock
albums of the 21st Century.” – BrufordFreak (#83)
83. Van der Graaf Generator – H to He, Who Am The
Only One 508.4 pts 6 votes (#17 – addictedtoprog) ▼ 56 “…hearing
Hammill's searing depictions of inner pain, self-loathing and regret can be
cathartic… H TO HE, WHO AM THE ONLY ONE further expanded the boundaries of
progressive in the form of an oftimes dark, and sometimes disturbing masterpiece.”
- Peter
82. Emerson, Lake and Palmer – Trilogy 510 pts 6 votes (#4 – ten years after) ▲ 18 “"Trilogy"
is probably ELP's most progressive and complete album, and for
me their best. Unlike all other ELP albums, every track on Trilogy reaches
their highest standard.” – Easy Livin
81. Rush – Moving Pictures 511 pts 5 votes (#10 – rushfan4) ▼ 52 “This is
probably Rush's most consistent album with no really weak moments that stand
out. Lifeson's guitar tone and playing on this album is some of his best work…
They never made an album better than this” – zravkapt (#48) |
