Plans on PA for becoming an all-music site?

My opinion is that it's okay or I don't care if it works in the context of the thread. For example, discussion is on favorite prog albums from a particular year or location, and someone mentions a non-prog album as a favorite, I am okay with it because it could be saying as much as I like prog, there was this. Or I have no problem with people making a case for an artist or album being prog even if I disagree because there is a lot of personal opinion about prog. The only time it does bother me if it had nothing to do with the thread. I don't have an example but, for example, mentioning Abba in a Porcupine Tree appreciation thread might seem like someone is trolling or has some other agenda. On the other hand, threads go off topic from time to time and that's just the nature of these things.

So, long rambling aside, I'm generally okay with listing non-prog in prog threads.

Remember Deacon Blue & Prefab Sprout?  But sorry for not really appreciating that you were talking about the past.  That's probably why YouTube deleted my prog channel, because I was violating the Prog Descriptions Act, or something like that.

Some might argue that that ship had already sailed long ago with some of the additions to PA. :P That said, this seemed to be moving in a just for fun direction after Kee's post.
