They didn't make the cut. I've heard all four and have the first two on CD. I like them all, but not as much as his work with SB. He's got a rather large discography and if I extended it out to top 20, probably at least two of them would make it (The Grand Experiment and The Great Adventure).

1. Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura
2. Spock's Beard - The Kindness Of Strangers
3. Spock's Beard - V
4. Neal Morse - One
5. Neal Morse - Testimony [SPO]
6. Spock's Beard - The Light
7. Neal Morse - No Hill For A Climber (with Resonance) [BC] [SPO]
8. Spock's Beard - Beware Of Darkness
9. Neal Morse - Lifeline
10. Neal Morse - Testimony 2
11. Neal Morse - The Grand Experiment
12. Neal Morse - Momentum
13. Spock's Beard - Snow
14. Neal Morse - The Restoration – Joseph: Part Two [SPO]
15. Neal Morse - ?

As usual, whenever I paste my results from AP, it never looks the way it should   

Edit: well at least it's more readable now that it was

He's got an overwhelming amount of albums (33 according to his PA page). If i was to give him another chance, i would not even know where to start.

Some of us also rate the releases in the lists, which can be helpful as a context (e.g. how far are the top and bottom entries apart in terms of how much the user likes them, on which level are they in general).

So as of now you can include your rating (as a tier letter) in the export:

1. [S] Neal Morse - One
2. [S] Neal Morse - The Similitude of a Dream
3. [S] Transatlantic - SMPT:e [BC] [SPO]
4. [S] Neal Morse - ?
5. [S] Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura
6. [S] Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever [BC] [SPO]
7. [S] Neal Morse - Testimony [SPO]
8. [S] Neal Morse - The Great Adventure
9. [A] Spock's Beard - V
10. [A] Spock's Beard - Snow

^ 12-15 are 'B' tier but that didn't quite come out when I copied the code.

^ always considered it a step down 'too many cooks spoil the broth'. It's okay though
