For me it's because a lot of people are only familiar with the more song-oriented stuff or just dismiss them as stupid hippies. But the prog elements were what hooked me - even Uncle John's Band, arguably one of their best known songs, has the 7/4 breakdown at the end. There are live versions where they spin off from there into other songs, and then conclude the mini-suite back at that 7/4 section and then finish up the song. In the end, it doesn't matter how people categorize them - "If you get confused, just listen to the music play"
Wait, you were listening to Yngwie J. Malmsteen?

Maybe it's time for a mash-up. Does Yngwie count as prog-metal?

Thanks for that, too. =============== The weird thing about TGD, is that Phish, the band who was some kind of Dead clone and owes everything to them, they've been in PA for at least a half-decade or so This is almost as laughable as Tori Amos as a full-prog entry, when her mentor and artistic tissue-donor (for cloning purposes ) Kate Bush is only in prog-related ... But at least Kate is in. |

I seldom get bent out of shape over vagaries of additions here, especially where Prog Related is concerned. My view is if they are in then they are in, if they aren't then they aren't. I will occasionally voice my objections to a suggestion but more often will simply point out the flaws in peoples reasoning for wanting a band listed here. Not that I can ever block an addition but if anyone desperately wants a band adding then they should be prepared to run the gauntlet of close examination. Random thoughts: Jam bands are not a genre of music but a method of playing, therefore they tend to wear two or more hats simultaneously, for example Humphrey's Magee and Ohm lean more towards JR/F than GD whereas Phish lean more towards Prog-Psych than GD; Phish covered DSotM in its entirety whereas GD don't even acknowledge Prog's existence; I suspect that Amos is in Xover for exactly the same reason DCD is in Prog Folk; Amos has more proggy concept albums than Bush; Subjectively Amos is the better musician to boot, not that that counts for anything other than wag the "naughty-naughty" finger at the clone taggers. ps: fu*king Captchas

It's more of a directive than a question as presented. I actually got a bit confused with "Vote if you like or don't like Grateful Dead", "Yes" or "No." Asking "Do you like Grateful Dead?" would have been so much simpler for my addled brain to figure out. Even then the answer would not be obvious to me because I like some Grateful Dead music and don't like other GD music. I never got into the band in a big way. |

^Perhaps. Unlike your brethren, however, we Americans never thought that Zeuhl was a French dialect.
