Top 100 progressive rock (studio albums) of all time - Genesis wins it!

Genesis = 5 albums
Rush = Van der Graaf Generator = 4 albums
Beatles = Camel = Gentle Giant = King Crimson = Pink Floyd = Yes = 3
albums (major shock that Yes and Floyd have only 3 IMO)

Even the Who, Santana, Frank Zappa, Doors and Queen have an album
each. But no albums for Led Zeppelin! Prognerds must hate them.

If you consider only the Top 50 though, all those bands except
Beatles, Camel and Gentle Giant have 3 in the top 50.

So looking at top 50, Genesis/Rush/VDGG/King Crimson/Pink Floyd/Yes
are in the same league as prog bands?

I know I'm going to hate myself in the morning for even asking, but
which particular Frank Zappa album are you including?

Tony

P.S. I removed the tennis group from my reply.

OR, they don't classify Led Zeppelin as a Prog Rock band...

How seriously are we supposed to take a list of supposedly prog albums
that includes Quadrophenia, Crime of the century, and Billy Cobham?
