You're telling me

Two of my favorite bands seem to be shafted so far, Radiohead and The Decemberists (granted this was before I spread the fanboyism throughout the site like a virus). RPI fans seemed mostly absent, as well as post fans and there is one huge prog band that really got deserted by its fans this year, you'll all see which later on in the list.

Some more big drops paired with impressive debuts in this one

I wonder what the top album not on this site is going to be. Last year I believe it was AJFA or MOP by Metallica, though they're in the archives now.

It was And Justice for All and yes there are many more non-prog albums coming. I might do another 50 if people are up for it.

Sure. Go ahead
