Top 5 Prog Rock Albums

[Rick and Roll]

some thoughts:

Pelo, I didn't think of adding the music that way, good idea Spaz. But Jim has your email to me also.

Spaz, I don't access Progressive Ears because of the sheer voluminosity (fake word, Webster is choking on a adjective there) of the posts. I don't think new members need to search the boards. This forum isn't the easiest to find stuff. I can't even find my old shows if I didn't have them written down. Got a Kx record in there

What I would like to see is some basic info on the new members. Pelo has some background but a lot of new members just out their name in.

And mail you cheated and did a top 10 I have to do a top 100 thread...

Faith Hope Love is a fine album but it's NOT prog

Glass House and Octopus (picked by a lot of you) I'm always torn between. They're both in my top 10.

To R'n'R and artboy:

I've got no particular problem with this thread or these polls in general. It is just that with over 2500 threads and close to 20000 posts, it might be beneficial to offer a little guidance, other than just the keyword-based search mechanism, for those who're trying to find something specific from the archives.

Not that this is awfully important to me. Whatever eventually keeps the Moon best on its orbit... that's the way to go, I suppose.

Here's a suggestion...eliminate "Rick" from the search, and you'll be down to 17,000 posts

Don't worry, in the coming months my posting should decrease (promises promises)...

Ok, will consider that...
