Top 55 Greatest Music Albums by tmbarnes8 Unknown

Dark Side of the Moon is what got me into music, and prog has become the music I really love ever since. I'm 18 and still have a lot of listening to do, so bear with me, this chart is a work in progress!

Gradually my views on music have changed, and I have began to realise the genius of the Beatles, but Prog is still where my heart is :) so I apologise for perhaps such a narrow chart, but this chart defines the music I listen to regularly and love, with very little attempt at being objective!

This is one of the most quintessentially English albums, in its singing, lyrical content and even the tunes themselves, with their flute and acoustic sound being so authentic and carefully done. The spine-chilling guitar solo by Steve Hackett in Firth Of Fifth is a standout moment, as is the 6-minute long keyboard solo outro to The Cinema Show, with Collins' exciting drumming being the background driving sound. Almost all the songs have moments where the listener drifts into another place and momentarily zones out, such as the ending of Dancing With The Moonlit Knight. Brilliantly constructed album, with More Fool Me being the only odd one out.

Another classic, an eclectic, but highly musical album, with all the ingredients for a perfect art/prog rock album. The imagery in the lyrics and the ideas the music conjures to match the lyrics are stunning.

Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)

This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 83.3/100, a mean average of 82.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.2.

So I'm not the only one to recieve a zero rating for my chart... You give me zero because I don't like prog rock or Pink bloody floyd. Get a life you cretin.

Jeff Wayne rather ruins your British whitewash; a technicality surely. Despite my own Anglophile choices I do think this chart is too narrow even though there are great albums here. And I do not share your enthusiasm for Marillion, shudder.

I love to see so much british prog rock (will I say for the first time in my life "too many"? :P) and the fact that you praise Marillion and Genesis so much. It's great to see so much Pink Floyd, though not in the order I would prefer (nice to see Animals so high though). Great comments too. I would include more Supertramp, and please check Porcupine Tree and Phideaux's "Doomsday Afternoon". I am sure that you will like them (if you do please tell me!).
