Sorry,

From the top one hundred, I pretty much show my true colors:

  1)  A Trick of the Tail - Genesis
  2)  Selling England by the Pound - Genesis
  3)  The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis
  4)  Awake - Dream Theater
  5)  Wind and Wuthering - (yep, them again)
  6)  Operation:  Mindcrime - Queensryche
  7)  Be - Pain of Salvation
  8)  Doomsday Afternoon - Phideaux
  9)  Fear of a Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree
10)  Foxtrot - Genesis

It's not that I enjoy Genesis to the exclusion of all else, it's just that my other favorites aren't everyone else's favorites.  I don't really like Yes, King Crimson or Jethro Tull.  Pink Floyd and ELP did get some consideration but nothing better than my choices (in my mind).  If there was more Neo-Prog or modern symphonic on the top 100 then there would have been a greater variety on my list but that's what I have out of the available choices.

Camel -- Mirage
Steve Hackett -- Spectral Mornings
Captain Beyond -- Captain Beyond
UK -- UK
Bruford -- One of a Kind

1. Close to the Edge
2. Aqualung
3. Wish You Were Here
4. The Yes Album
5. Crime of the Century
6. Selling England by the Pound
7. Fragile
8. Thick as a Brick
9. Dark Side of the Moon
10. In the Court of the Crimson King

Order sort of matters, but they're all so close.
That's really just at the moment too.
