As much as I've been a negative ninny through these discussions, I wouldn't mind breaking out those albums again to review them

^ of course, take any time you need. But instead of taking a lot of time to rate and tag all your albums, you could also try a different approach and whenever you listened to an album and you have a minute (literally a minute - doesn't take longer) you can submit some info for it. I think I'll mention that on the FAQ page of PF ... I have a feeling that many people greatly overestimate the time needed for submitting the basic info.

Hard to say if Stratovarius is a Prog Metal band, for me. I believe that 90% of Classic Metal Revival bands are Prog Metal, in one way or another.
You see dream Child, Syslesia or Heavenly... There are not Prog Mtal bands?
For me... These bands are Prog Metal at the same level of Stratovarius!

So your saying, if they are prog metal at the same level of Stratovarious, then they're not actually prog metal then?

Totally Agre. Stratovarius deserves to enter although they play mostly melodic powermetal. But when you listen to some tracks of "Visions" or "Elements. Part I" you must admit that sometimes is more than just simple power metal.
And yes... If Nightwish deserves to be here I wonder why Stratovarius are not in this list

I'm on the Progressive Metal Team and feel that Nightwish don't deserve to be on the list. Stratovarius deserve a position just as much

I was referring to the movement in general. In fact too of the Revival of Classic Metal (at least here in Europe) inserted Prog arrangement into a 100% Power Metal structure.
But certainly I have given three examples (Dream Child and Dyslesia are 2 French band who are Prog Metal, in my opinion [and not just in my opinion]) by three bands of which I had the CD in hand at that time.
I also added a suggestion for the inclusion of Dream Child.
About Stratovarius: For me Stratovarius is a good band in the vein of Rainbow, Warlord, Alcatrazz, Dio, Deep Purple and similars but with more Speed Metal attitude and with great Power ballads. In my opinion Stratovarius is only one of the best Classic Metal revival bands.

No you're wrong. That is because I think if this site is coherent, it should do exactly what I said. Metallica, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, etc, are at the same level of many prog metal/prog related (included because they are either prog metal related or proto-prog metal) bands in the site.
