Just be aware that if Boston gets added... the injustice done with Metallica is more evident each day.......

I agree. Not that I'm opposed to Boston being added, but I think Metallica should be here on the strength of their first 5 albums, particularly Master of Puppets and And Justice for All. If those aren't prog metal, I don't know what is.  Nothing they do now could be confused with prog, much less metal  , but those first five definitely are both to my ears.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

yes... but God did speak 
and delivered hellfire onto the idea of adding them as PR... maybe he
wanted them in PM. Who knows what God's plan for us is...

no no no no, not the old Metalica campaign. We fought that war, there was much bloodshed and tears; Teddys were being chucked from prams with little regard for the ensuing mayhem such that the collatoral damage was at unprecidented levels never before seen in the field of human endevour. The air was blue with fontage and a whole squadron of brave Prog-metallists were lost in the final battle in a last ditched attempt to turn the tide, but to no avail. Least we forget...

Bad idea, I'm afraid... I suppose you remember what happened on a previous occasion, when a genre team added a 'controversial' band. Let's face it, until people stop taking every addition they don't agree with as a personal issue, it's much better to let the proverbial sleeping dogs lie.

I do believe that prog has grown larger than any one person's taste can encompass, although people seem to continuously to strive to do so, either by sampling everything or restricting their horizons (and sometimes those of others.) If a part of prog isn't your cup of tea, well, there's no reason to limit another person's horizons by trying to claim it isn't prog.
A much more healthy reaction would be just to ignore it. I must admit that's what I do with just about all prog metal except for Queensryche.

I think we'll bring this discussion to a close now. If anyone wishes to seek the Admin teams approval to add Boston, just contact a member of the team.
