.... it's mostly because during the initial artists/albums importation in the database (1 month ago) we tagged all albums with the main genre of the artists.

As time goes by and more collaborators re-tag, re-classify the albums , it should (i hope) create less confusions (and crazy forum discussions) about the genre of an albums or an artists.

And it will prove that this will be the next system also at PA.

Approve


Which is fine and I look forward to that.

But this is the #1 Prog Site on the internet, the #1 resource and I won't have anyone knock it just because they've now decided they're metal.

Metal-Archives is new but it is populated with PA members. Let them remember that we will still be here when the real Metal fans arrive and see them off....Wink





Let's also collaborate to make MMA as big a success as PA is... Metal, we have to agree, is a more popular genre, so eventually that site might (we hope so) become a big monster.. And it's better to start with the right foot from the beginning... Smile

And a few of those PA members there also qualify as "real Metal fans"... WinkTongue

almost Tony... the only time we have problems is when people let their views on the eternal prog/not prog question cloud their better judgments and they forget this site is archival... and about the many different views of prog out there.  What is non-prog to you...  is often prog to others.  What is this site about ... your views on prog... or giving everyone out there a means to express their views on prog.

I think that, if now you're a member of MMA, you can voice those opinions there...

let's just say it's a work in progress..

the site is a week old...  the priority is getting them added..  then moving everything around.   The site is album based... not group based like PA's.   Which removes a cancer of this site... people getting their panties in a twist over placements of groups and polluting the site and atmosphere with their pissing and moaning...

As I like to call it... the pounding of round bands into squre genres...

too late to do it at PA's... but glad to see it happen there


You do realise that the vast majority do not "piss and moan" as you call it and it is not a "cancer"  To be quite honest it looks like the same old genre based format there too, to me.

The only time we have real problems with genres is when non-Prog bands are shoe-horned into the system...

I agree.


Seconded.

yeah....  but look at the daggars  thrown at him simply by having a successful prog website....

M@X might a full time bodyguard if he starts stealing members and google hit shares from other metal sites. They are not the wussies and pussies like the typical prog fan/website owner/insider...  who have Jon Anderson posters not posters of Lemmy on the walls of their bedrooms.LOL

M@X - this is super cool. I know that a lot of the people here can agree with me when they say that PA has been a huge resource in keeping them informed with what's going on in a genre of music that they love, allowing them to find new music, determine what others think of music, and be part of a community. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has altered my shopping habits less from browsing and more towards targeted, informed searches since joining the site. And the community has been amazing - reviews, interviews, etc...

With a suite of such websites, you could easily become a major player in the music industry, helping create communities and influencing buying decisions across more than just prog. It's a pretty exciting thought.

I always knew I was the musical descendent of Uncle Frank and the Walrus. Now it all makes sense.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
