You think the thought didn't enter my mind?   I am sure proggers will enjoy the first two Scorpions albums and then they were an influence on European power metal and in turn on the symphonic power-prog wave from the mid-90s onwards.  Maybe some other time.

I mean, with all these old farts riled up about Metallica being on a prog site...   Their loss.

Lol, my suggestion was purely in jest anyway .  My own view is that it is more important to add obscure bands to the website that are clearly prog than to add famous bands that have some relation to prog, who hasn't heard of Scorpions anyway.   I write reviews for metal-archives.com and we don't practise anything like metal-related there so no King Crimson, no Blue Oyster Cult, no Uriah Heep. This by no means puts an end to debate because way too many metalheads are not interested in its development through the 70s and don't consider even Black Sabbath's 70s material as metal, least of all Scorpions and Rainbow (who are on the metal-archives).  But at least then the line is drawn at the core of the genre, related becomes a broad concept. Ok ok this is well outside the topic, so I stop.

Lets see

1. Meat Loaf: Bat Out of Hell I and II
2. Cranberries: No Need to Argue
3. Jackson Browne: For America album
4. Fleetwood Mac: Not the Artsie Peter Green incarnation, the Pop Buckingham & Nicks era.
5. Mr Mister: Well one song Kyrie Eleyson
6. BTO: Most of their albums
7. Sweet: Love is like Oxygene and Balroom Blitz
8. Doobie Brothers; Toulouse Street.
9. Neil Diamoind: A Hot August Night
10. El Tri Sinfònico: The Mexican friends will get this and despise me

Um....only if you dress up and pretend to be Dorthy Gale while you do it.
