As the other commenter noted, the 80s was as down time for prog. But you managed to make the most of it, so I appreciate the chart very much on that level.

I don´t think the 80`s were a good decade for progressive-rock-bands.
Most of the great prog bands of the 70`s did their weakest albums in the 80`s.
That`s why I don`t appreciate your Chart that much - Too many 70`s bands in the 80`s Chart.
