Except I'm sure another 16 (and probably many more) of mine didn't even make 100 points. I'd imagine that, in reality, close to half my list is gone. |
I've listed some Yougoslavian artists in the bottom of my Top 100. I'm the only one who included them (Drago Mlinarec, Indexi...) I guess at least 10 of mine didn't make 50 points

Actually surprised to see some of those back there get up so high. I guess every list really does count.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

As we enter the top 100, we have some true classics (Voyage of the Acolyte, Spectrum, Roxy and Elsewhere, Mindcrime, Kind of Blue).
Clearly Roine Stolt and Neal Morse did well overall in this poll. Riverside's ADHD surprised me with it's good showing, and I was a little relieved that Kind of Blue (an astounding but non-prog album) didn't butt its nose higher in the chart.

'A Kind of Blue' by Miles Davis comes it at 78.
I've listened to this classic modal jazz album many times over the last 20 years or so (along with many other landmark jazz albums such as 'A Love Supreme' by John Coltrane 'Night Train' by Oscar Peterson and many others). But, try as I might....I cannot understand how this album can appear in a Prog Rock poll, because it is definitely not prog rock.
Miles Davis is obviously a listed artist in Prog Archives for his jazz rock/fusion albums of the late 60s and early to mid 70s. I would understand entirely the inclusion of Bitches Brew in the poll, but A Kind of Blue was released in 1959 - long before Davis' excursions into rock music.
Here's the rub. How can a Prog Rock poll be of any value whatsoever if it includes non-prog albums?
I suppose it could set a quirky and entertaining precedent for future polls.
How about this one:
Top 100 poems of all time -
coming in at number 6...Moby Dick by Herman Melville
OR
Your favourite 100 chocolate bars -
and at number 3 we have...cornflakes
Or
The 100 best high performance motorcycles -
Unsurprisingly, the clear winner is.....the Mini Metro!!!
The nation has spoken...the best movie of all time is not 'Citizen Kane' or 'Titanic' . It is not 'The Battleship Potemkin', or 'It's a Wonderfrul Life' - No, because this year we used the Prog Archives method of polling so .........the winner is.......wait for it............wait for it.......the winner is.....the w**kel rotary engine, with chicken chasseur a very close runner up!
I cannot believe that people criticised the 'Classic Rock presents Prog' top 50 albums poll, saying it was unrepresentative!!!
HHmmmn...how many non prog albums were in that poll?
Did I ever tell you that my favourite country and western album is 'The Ace of Spades' by Motorhead?

Well that topic is well discussed, once an artist gets in based on one album, the whole discography gets in, and that's been determined by the admins as the way it's going to be. It is inevitable, then, than monumental albums like "Kind of Blue" will make an appearance despite being distant from the subject at hand. I was actually glad it fell this low.
And now that we've regained some interest....

Well there goes my #1 and wherever in my top 10 You was. Still, good placing for each of them, I'm glad they made it that high.

I personally think the top 100 of this list is a great shopping list for any prog fan. I'm filling in my collection from it. I've only recently gotten You and Tago Mago as my first albums from the respective groups. There are still some pleasant surprises to come.

Interestingly, there were no Kansas albums at all in the whole poll until the last set of people submitted, and several did remarkably well.

Tago Mago only appeared on 5 polls but was #1 on two of those.
You was on only 5 polls as well, but obviously did well for those who rated it.

Where did you go, Negoba? I want to know how Choirs of the Eye did. It looks really interesting so far! Bitches Brew in top 60  and I didn't even vote!
