Well that's good to know. Because I feel that some of these bands are perfectly placed in PR.
I can't say I'm worried though. You guys know what you're doing.

Am I the only one that feels that everyone is just trying to get their favorite artists out of PR by compromising why they were put there in the first place?

I think we should clear out the issue whether "If a band has one 100% prog album, it goes to the respective prog subgenre" is a rule or is it just a myth, before we start.

What do the Admins say?

for what's it's worth.. I think there is general agreeement on that...

I am afraid the Genre Teams would refuse most of those suggestions. Personally, I don't think Fairport Convention are more prog than Iron Maiden, but of course this is just my opinion - and as far as I know there is opposition to their being moved to PF.
 As to Vangelis and Jarre, forget about that - there is no way they'll get into Electronic.

Blue Oyster Cult are one of my favourite bands, but they are OK where they are. I wouldn't hold my breath about moving Jeff Beck either - if he had been considered suitable for JR/F, he would have been added there. As regards Wishbone Ash, please check my earlier post.

I'm mad? don't be mad.... it's a rickin music website... you know.... fun?   I speak for me and my mother (also for Mandrakeroot): It's always the same story:  to open the boundaries for certain bands or to put barbed wire and electricity and the police?   In my opinion (forged by my convinction with added by Andrea and Sara) 10CC are melodic Crossover.

and we'll take a look at them... let me remind you... this thread is for suggestions.. you don't need to be frustrated... we all have personal lives ..and the time here... we give freely..but it is limited

Re Wishbone Ash: I only own Argus (fantastic album BTW), and know a handful of other tracks by them - not enough to judge if they belong in HP. Their output is quite extensive, but they could qualify for being moved if they had another two or three albums more or less in the same vein. Thoughts?
