Nice idea, though I think some of those late 70's albums could have been left out but your going to have enough trouble with the 90's onwards as it is.


The 80s could have been extended I agree but once I got to the 90s and collated another 300 albums or so it was impossible to include more that what is on the list. 1001 albums seems like a lot until you end up with a list of over 2500. I had to cull that down and it was brutal leaving out a lot of Zappa and Jazz fusion in particular.

The late 70s albums certainly were considered as omissions but they were better I believe than the 80s which is always signified as the poorer decade of the progressive music genre.

Be sure to add Brian Ellis, Astra, and Acid Mothers Temple later on dude.
Great list so far! Smile  


I will take those albums into consideration but I could not include all the great Can albums or White Noise. Astra will get in especially The Weirding, and I am not sure about AMT or Ellis but will re check list.

Thanks!Clap

Okay I am happy with how its going so far and this is what we are looking at:

Update

60s Prog Beginnings – 32 albums

70s First Wave: Golden Era – 438 albums

80s Neo Prog – 90 albums

560 albums so far (441 left to add)

90s Next Wave – 200 albums

00’s Third Wave – 200 albums

Add best live albums – 41

Total - 1001


At least that is the theory....

Might as well stop, everything after -89 is garbage and just a rehash of old ideas. How tiresome. 
Crushed like a rose in the riverflow.

^LOL

I was waiting for that.

Still, it is what it is and the 90s was a decade of some excellent masterful prog.

Hey, nice idea. I like the original 1001 Albums book (and the 1001 Books, although I disagree with the list there). Good to make a prog version. You're already at 3/4, I see. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words!

So far it has been relatively easy but I just hit a major snag and have too many to add from the 2000-2011 selection - dang it! What a great problem to have. Now I am in the process of culling off so many great albums - oh well, it will still be a terrific list to work from I believe.




Actually I just realised it will work if I leave out 2011 totally.

I wonder if that's a good idea though....
