It's hard to guage what exactly would be surprising, since it probably depends on the audience.
The three highest rated Gnosis2000.net albums I haven't heard are:
Present - Barbaro (ma non troppo)
My excuse: Well, it's not that old, and it's pretty damn expensive. It's on my list of things to eventually get, though.
Mia - Cornonstipicum
My excuse: I *tried* to buy it on a couple of occasions from Doug Larson, but he was out of stock both times I inquired. I'll keep at it, though.
Circus - Movin' On
My excuse: Another that's been on my radar, but it's usually out of stock or too expensive for me to bite on.
The three highest rated Progarchives albums that I've never heard:
Bacamarte - Depois Do Fim
My excuse: I had never heard of this band or album until just now.
Big Big Train - English Electric
My excuse: It's a new album and I'm not interested enough in the other music of theirs that I've heard to actively seek this out.
Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
My excuse: Not my thing.
The top three on rateyourmusic.com that I haven't heard:
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
My excuse: I don't know. I like the album that came before it, but I never picked up this one.
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
My excuse: Because I'd rather be stabbed.
Judas Priest - Painkiller
My excuse: Not the hugest fan of these guys, but I do kind of like a few of their mid and late '70s tunes, in a nostalgia/guilty-pleasure kind of way. I didn't know that anybody but the hard-core fans were into their post-Screaming for Vengeance albums, though. Yet this is the highest rated priest album on the site. Hmmm. It almost makes me curious. Almost
