I want to congratulate all of the bands and artists featured, as your music was featured on the Gagliarchives, on Programs 772 through 774 (11/30/02 to 12/14/02). Although this is the 'Top 100' of the year, there were over 700 releases in the course of the year, which made deciding this interesting. This list was compiled through a year's worth of research from myself and all those in the Global Progressive Rock Network.I want to personally thank the over 1,000 listeners in the Delaware Valley, all the subscribers to the E groups at Yahoo!, the subscribers to Rec.Music.Progressive, Alt.Music.Progressive, Fusenet, and many other wonderful prog 'passerbys'. Also a thanks to our friends at Expose, Ghostland, Progradio.net, Gnosis, George Piatkowski, Jack Webster, and anyone else we may have forgotten. The site design was produced by Chad Hutchinson of Ghostland. Contributions were made by the following:  Keith "The Man" Myers, George Piatkowski, Jack Webster, Keith Rowe, Jon Yarger, Jerry Laneir, and Matthew Murdock.
