Hi again! Just curious to know which albums are really the most popular among everyone from purchases alone. Multiple votes are obviously allowed for this and if you aren't going to take the time to vote for all of them, please don't just vote for a few so that we get a reliable answer. And also, just be honest please  Thanks!Also, if you have time, state how many you own. I own 20/25: missing Anglagard, Banco, Steve Wilson, Peter Hammill, and Moonmadness
Thanks for any feedback!  |

Good idea for a poll, it will be interesting to see how it turns out. I have 11/25 although 6 are recent purchases based on recommendations in another thread. The other 5 were the VDGG & KC albums. |

13/25 I don't own either Camel album on this list, though I do quite enjoy both. I'd say the one I am most embarassed about is "Selling England by the Pound". That's probably my favorite album that I don't actually own.  |

I've heard every one at some point but the only ones I have never owned a copy of were: Hybris, Per un Amico, Moonmadness, Si on avait..., The Raven... and Io sono nato libero.

17 out of the 25, including the top 9. I do not have anything by Van Der Graaf Generator, Peter Hammill, Harmonium, Anglagard, Wilson, or the RPI bands listed. I am not sure whether I only voted once for each - it was easy for me to lose count. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I have 18/25. Aside from Animals, I have all of the top 10. My brother has it and I've heard it, but that's not technically in my possession. I'm also missing the PFM, Harmonium, Steven Wilson, and Miles Davis album, along with both of the ones by Camel. It's a pity The Mountain fell off the top 25 today... I hope it gets put back soon. |

19, the only ones I'm missing are Dark Side of the Moon, Fragile, Moving Pictures, The Raven...., Mirage and Hemispheres. Of those, Dark Side's the only one I'm likely to get as I'm no fan of the other bands.

I went back and read the previous Miles Davis prog debate threads so there's no point in rehashing old arguments. It just seems bizarre to me that "Kind of Blue" is rated as "Essential: A Masterpiece of Progressive Rock Music" when even it's fans say it's not prog. Whatever

btw.....how is it decided what genre a band is placed in? is it a committee vote or does just one person who specializes in that genre make the call? ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Joined 3 years ago but didn't do any posting until March this year. And sad to say though I have read many threads I have not read one, nor an intro post, that explains in detail how they put a band into a specific genre.

The teams put a lot of effort checking and adding bands every day FOR FREE. Almost all the bands that the Symphonic Team has added in the last years have a thread about them in an open section of the forum. This year we approved (Among a couple suggested by PM):
If you haven't found the threads, is because you haven't searched for them...ALL THE TEAMS HAVE A SIMILAR WORKING SYSTEM We used to have a thread where we informed about every band added, but only 2 or 3 members outside the collaborators cared about, so we decided it was a waste of our free and family time to create a thread nobody cared about. Now each and every team has a thread in the collaborators section. Iván -------------

Only 11 out of 25. I don't buy music anymore, I just stream it. I bought those 11 when I was younger, before I heard of KC, GG, VDGG, Camel etc. I live in Kentucky in the United States, and in the 80s it was hard to discover anything like prog. I was the only one I knew who listened to music like this and that was because I would discover it by accident at the local record store. For instance, I picked up albums by Kate Bush, Marillion, and Yes because I liked the covers and they were cheap--they had a notch cut out of the covers to indicate they were discounted because nobody in America knew who they were. And I bought my first Pink Floyd purchase "A Nice Pair"--their first two albums in one package--because I was a teenager, and there was a fresh pair of tits on the cover. Needless to say, I was clueless as to the incredible explosion of creativity that lie inside of those humble discounted packages. It kind of made me ashamed of American musical tastes, at least for awhile. |
