THE WHO is not prog band, though they have done great music. You can add it, but I'm quite sure it will be deleted.

One concept album could be produced by a normal non-prog group but two concept albums, especially Quadrophenia which is a brilliant rock opera on par with many of the prog concept albums we love so much is no accident, they're prog. Just listen to Won't Get Fooled Again and tell me it ain't prog.

I did, it isn't that proggish I think.

I don't think the Who should be included, though they are a good band. There are lots of non-progartist that released concept-albums and though they're songs developed from easy proto-punksongs to somewhat more complex songs, I don't think they're prog enough to be listed here. But well, I though the same with Queen and we all know what happened.

IMHO albums like "Tommy", "QUADROPHENIA", "Who's Next" have several progressive elements.Guess that it doesn't mean nothing if they never spawned 20-minute, side long epics, does it?Tell me what you think about it.
so...for me it's YES!(they should be listed on progarchives)
