Another collateral damage of looking for the Classic Rock concept albums list. Apparently a somewhat major profile Serbian-based (but written in English) website in prog rock, it's been very active since 2010. Anyway, I'm posting all the lists I've found potentially eligible, except for a shitload of "every albums ranked by dude/band". There were many of these in the Team Rock archives too, by the way.
My honesty forces me to say that although many of these lists use the mighty "we", I have a gut feeling they're largely the œuvre of the webmaster, Nikola Savić. It was some work transcribing all of this so I can't say I'd be happy if the lists weren't eligible, but I respect the rules. At the very least, it'll make an interesting resource for post-1970s prog fans.

Re: Prog Sphere lists
Only one that might be a harder sell is the prog metal one, since that's a subgenre. Otherwise, great sleuthing, Pierre!
Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand - Sir Duke (1976)

Most of this data, I somewhat ran into by accident yesterdayStevieFan13 wrote:Only one that might be a harder sell is the prog metal one, since that's a subgenre. Otherwise, great sleuthing, Pierre!
But I'm always interested in finding resources for post-1975 prog rock, as data is extremely scarce for this although the scene exists. The actual quality is another matter, I've not listened to much of it to have an opinion, it's just excessive curiosity.
