You pose a very interesting topic:
How did the rest of us rate the members of the Hallowed Top 100?
I gave these 32 five star ratings:
Close to the Edge In the Court of the Crimson King Dark Side of the Moon Fragile Per un amico Relayer Io sono nato libero Si on avait besoin d’une cinquième saison Kind of Blue Crime of the Century The Raven that Refused to Sing (and Other Stories) H to He, Who Am the Only One The Grand Wazoo MDK The Lamb Banco del Mutuo Soccorso Free Hand Arbeit Macht Frei Viljans Öga ELP K.A. Space Shanty Hamburger Concerto Lateralus L’isola di niente If I Could Do It All Over Again, I’d Do It All Over You Time Control Part the Second Caravanserai Uzed Memento Z Banalnym Tryptykiem Choirs of the Eye
But I also gave 16 of the Top 100 “masterpieces” three stars!

Foxtrot > Thick As a Brick > The Yes Album > You > Rock Bottom These are the albums from this list that I would give a 5 star rating (in the entire top 100 there are about 27). Coming close: Anabelas and Rubycon.

Relayer. All day, every day. (And someone please explain Bubu to me. I just don't get it. Maybe I should give it another listen but damn. Never saw what others see in it.)

I can easily say that Anabelas is my favourite album period so maybe I can shed a little light on why I love it. The biggest reason is that it's simply so eclectic. The music never stays too similar for too long, whether it's a change of tempo, key, time, instrumentation, dynamics, variations on a melody, mood, genre, etc, it never wears out its welcome or gets dull. Similarly, there's always something new to pick up on every time you hear it since there's simply such a highly compacted volume of music offered.
Basically I love it (and I'm sure most of its fans love it) for all of the same reasons that King Crimson is loved for. Complex, challenging, engaging instrumentals that vary between soft whispers and chaotic cacophonies. So if you like music that's unrelenting in sporadic inspiration and all over the map as opposed to holding your hand and walking you through while patting you on the head for 40 minutes, Bubu's Anabelas is about as good as it gets.

There are lot's of albums I would give 5 stars from the top 100, but mostly none of this would be among them (though there are a few I don't know yet). Perhaps the album I like the most as a whole would be "Aquiring the Taste"... but still I rather give my vote to "Ommadawn", for the first part is one of my very favourite songs of all.

Really? You'd give five stars to Foxtrot but not Selling England by the Pound? The Yes Album but not Fragile? Larks' Tongues in Aspic but not Red? Acquiring the Taste but not Octopus? MADNESS!!

Madness you say? Well Selling England features 'wardrobe' and 'epping forest' neither of which are very good. Same story with Red. Great album....maybe except for Providence. Fragile? Those little individual dities aren't exactly 5 star material in my book. Then again I can't really say how Darryl justifies this, but I do understand where he's coming from. I don't consider these albums as masterpieces either - even if they contain some wonderful music.

I voted for Rubycon.
