I don't have a number 8 because JamisonParker and Hundred Reasons are tied, so my favourite JamisonParker songs and Best Mistake and Your Song, and my favourite Hundred Reasons songs are Falter and Sick Little Masquerade

31. How many times have you seen 17 live?
Taking Back Sunday: None

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy?
Boys Like Girls: Five Minutes to Midnight

The Academy Is...: Almost Here, but I like more songs off Santi

34. What is the worst song by 34?
Adema: Immortal

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 46?
Athlete: Chances

36. What is your favourite album by 42?

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28?
+44: Lycanthrope

40. What is you favourite album by 7?
Again with the tied thing, so for JamisonParker it would be Sleepwalker and Hundred Reasons would be Quick the Word Sharp the Action

When rating prog albums I try to do so in a historical context, that is how an album compares against the entire body of prog. This means that the best album for any given year, which most people would rate with top marks may not receive the same rating in my charts as only the best albums of all time should get the highest ratings... This chart does not include compilations or live albums.

My Ratings:
Note: I vote on a bell curve, anything above 5 is really good, anything much below 5 really isn't :D
9-10 - Masterpiece
8 - Essential - must buy
7 - Superb - buy
6 - Excellent - recommended
5 - Average
4 - Mediocre
3 - Poor (or not my thing) - fans only
2 - Rubbish (or really not my thing) - completists only
1 - Run screaming from the room!

When rating albums I try to do so in a historical context, that is how an album compares against the entire body of similar music. This means that the best album for any given year, which most people would rate with top marks may not receive the same rating in my charts as only the best albums of all time should get the highest ratings... This chart does not include compilations or live albums.

My Ratings:
Note: I vote on a bell curve, anything above 5 is really good, anything much below 5 really isn't :D
9-10 - Masterpiece
8 - Essential - must buy
7 - Superb - buy
6 - Excellent - recommended
5 - Average
4 - Mediocre
3 - Poor (or not my thing) - fans only
2 - Rubbish (or really not my thing) - completists only
1 - Run screaming from the room!
