^ I chose that particular Top 5 numbering system because all of the points divide neatly into 12. The same goes for my Top 7 lists where all of the points divide into 24, and for a Top 10 list, all of the points divide into the number 60.
Not surprisingly, it gives me a bit of a headache adding up the points for my Top 10 lists. Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 13 2020 at 13:36 |

Ever considered trying out alternative grading for the tracks in the top 5? The first song gets 6 points while the fifth one gets 1, but for both to be in somebody's top 5, they must both be of comparable levels of noteworthiness, and one isn't six times as good as the other. That'd be a lot of numbers to add up, though... Keep it up, love lists!

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.
