Music from The Elder

^^But dude needs to re-think his wardrobe. Seeing him on VH1's Rock Honors in that open chested costume with his now sagging man boobs bouncing around was quite unseemly.

As a baseball hater, I ask for tolerance for all sports. And, as a prog metal expert, I demand Kiss addition. Arguments? Many.

Be told.  I deny this false implications and demand Kiss' addition. The reasoning behind it? That I think they should be here.

Live is just a facade for their real musical experiments. Prog is their second name and they have to be here. One reason: because I, a prog metal expert, demand it. However...  we see hope... Not to be recommended for inclusion here.  The world is an unfair place when Magma can be here and not Kiss. They have a brand, we have standards.  Standards which suffer when we don't add the BRAND  ()...usually... Not.. alwaysBut no! Yes! No!  Yes!!NO!YES! ADD KISS! I TELL YOU! THEY ARE PROG! A FAIRY TOLD ME IN MY SLEEP! ADD THEM!!!!!!

T - I bow to your brilliance

Is it right by the way that John Petrucci's bedroom wall is covered in Paul Stanley posters? It would explain a lot

I think this was the best post I have ever read. Ever. No one can ever top this post. I can only imagine.  I suggested Boston (for prog related) and nearly got my balls handed to me in a Dixie cup.  You would have thought I suggested T-Pain.

Best post ever!

This is hilarious. 

Despite Jim's arguments I think that they should be added because of their progressive nature towards live performances and their influence on the rock, power rock, power metal and disco scenes in the mid and late 70s. If not for them we would not have a lot of music. Plus, the cover for Destroyer is a helluva lot better than Love Beach. Kiss may never have made a side long epic but a lot of their songs show progressive tenancies, just listen to the speed change in "Shout It Out Loud" or the troubadouristic qualities of "Detroit Rock City".

Be more open minded Jim. This is a progressive rock archive, not nazi Germany.

I'm not famillar enough with Kiss to make a judgement but to me they seem more like Zepplin and Sabbath than Yes or Genesis, but anyone can make one, rogue prog album... I'm tempted to listen to it, but I also don't want to pay for it if its just a kiss album with some keyboards and one track thats longer than five minutes.

Boston has two prog related moments. Foreplay/Longtime, the 8-minute song from the debut with extended soloing and instrumental sections and the 4-part, 12-minute Walk On Suite from Walk On. Other than that, they don't have a prog bone in them. But this isn't the Boston discussion, so Ill shut my trap
