It's on PA's Psych/Space Rock definition: "They (Stoner Rock bands) can be considered as a borderline case between Psychedelic Progressive, Heavy Progressive, and Progressive Metal." I say it depends on how progressive/complex their music is.

A good example of an act combining stoner rock with prog is Colour Haze from Germany...but you're right: a good rule of thumb is that whenever the music leans towards a simpler blues based rock n roll, it probably won't make it into PA.
That does not mean the music isn't great or progressive - it merely means that it doesn't fit in on this site.
Progressive music exists in every corner of the musical map - progressive pop, hip hop, jazz, electronica, polka hell even post-punk gave way to some pretty interesting and rather experimental acts such as Wire, Pere Ubu and The Fall. Still, we tend to focus on Prog Rock as much as we can.

I'm almost certain that Allman Brothers have been suggested before, but I could be wrong.

There are a lot of interesting stoner rock AKA hard rock/stoner doom/aka heavy/doom bands but none of them prog though.

The best Blues/ Stoner Prog in OZ would be Chain Legendary Band here with Matt Taylor been around forever- their biggest hit here and signature tune  Black and Blue below:

From a historical point of view, it's true that some blues bands were called "progressive blues" back in the late-60's / early-70's (very, very early), but it didn't last a long time.

About stoner rock, I would be the first to dismiss most of these bands as "progressive": the fact that I saw this "genre" flourish just after the grunge era made me... suspicious about their influences.

It wasn't suggested.. seriously at least that I ever recall. Not to the genre teams.. perhaps someone made the mistake of trying a backdoor 'related' but that would have had no chance against the old admin team.

However it was next on my list to see added but I didn't get to it when genre team burnout finally got to me and I retired.. and after years away from the site.. it seemed pointless to come back to..retirement/trolling is fun. No desire to get back into that sh*t anymore.  Especially since my partner in crime who would have, along with me, made sure it happened also retired.

It would have two powerful voices in favor.. and both were genre team leaders.  It would have happened I suppose. Most see them as being under the sillly 'jam' band label and not for what they were...  America's best Jazz-Rock band. Their musical basis was jazz.. pure and simple.

At this point.. doesn't really matter if they are added or not.  It isn't like anyone will really learn of them here. They are one of those 1%r bands.  If you know anything about rock music.. you know of this group. The wasted chance was ..similar to what we did with Steely Dan. Educate and enlighten listeners that you don't judge a book by its cover.  Those SD reviews are some of the ones I am most proud of actually. Actually got PM thanking me for them... for sheding a different light on the group than they had previously thought of them.

it was an interesting site back then
