This is how the top 25 would look like with if the biggest user generated music site: Rate Your Music would have a top 25 Progressve Rock list including the same artists as PA does (leaving out related & proto). Rather interesting I think as it probably mirrors which bands has the greatest influence on music outside the Prog Rock circle. The poll shows the albums in the correct order OK Computer at no. 1 and and Dark Side at 2 etc...

*Another Green World is really no. 26 but I couldn't bring myself to include Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. It just looked completely out of place.

While only the 15th most popular prog on RYM (while Thick as a Brick isn't even among the 25 first with three Can-albums ahead of it!) its just natural that it might get the votes among these at PA.

It's kind of amazing how relevant and esteemed those two Talk Talk albums have become so long after they were released. I didn't even know of their existence until I discovered this site actually.
 
Anyways, I'm in the mood for some Syd so I'll give Piper the nod this time.

Pink Floyd - TPatGoD, Meddle, TDSotM, WYWH, Animals, The Wall
King Crimson - In the Court... (i need to listen to Red in its entirety again one of these days)
Genesis - SEbtP

I like this list so much more than ours..

Voted Sigur Ros because the album is gorgeous, innovative, and represents the modern progressive scene.

Both lists are pretty great imo (considering they're based on user's ratings) but I do like the RYM-users less classicminded and more modern approach to progressive rock. Both represented by all the newer albums there as well as the forwardthinking/innovative older fusion & kraut-classics included. Personally I'd prefer one of PA's VdGG and PFM entries over of a couple of the Pink Floyd's (six in total) though.

True. I'd rather have VdGG thrown in there rather than The Wall. 

(among other replacements :3)

Despite my rampant Yes fanboyism, I'm going to select something it took me a long time to get, but has ultimately reaped massive rewards.

From that list I voted Red but Future Days and Animals were considerations. Although I don't enjoy them as much as those three, I'm a big fan of the first two listed Radioheads, DSOTM, ...Skinny Fists..., CTTE, Meddle and Another Green World.

It's really disappointing to see that the only modern bands on that list are Radiohead, Godspeed... and Sigur Ros, all of which I absolutely loath.

I love those two last Talk Talk albums and think its natural to include them among the modern bands. They are pretty much the lone forerunners of the "newish" approach to progressive rock that have no obvious links to metal. There's only a few years up to Godspeed and Tortoise's debuts and over fifteeen back to the classic era (which they sound nothing like).

... quite a big fan of selected offerings by Godspeed and Radiohead btw

This certainly wouldn't be my top 25, but I do like Selling England.

My dad used to play it all the time in the car when I was a kid and I grew to love it.
