How can you in any way equate that album with Green Day, the Chemical Brothers, "techno-crap" (congratulations on the generalisation, by the way!), Bowie, Oasis or Nirvana? I know it's not your comment but you seem to agree with it somewhat wholeheartedly. Oh and, progressive rock is more than a genre. To my ears progressiveness is something music can have, regardless of what style it is, like loudness, or slowness, or aggressiveness, etc. etc (although, obviously, to be progressive rock, it must be rock!). Thus I have no qualms about an alternative rock band being in the archives. If anybody thinks there is a single unified sound to prog, try and equate Yes, ELP, Rush, Jethro Tull and Tangerine Dream! |

Philippe - I think I read you incorrectly before, so I take back my original comments... That was brilliant sarcasm and biting wit - well said!!! Eliot Mangybitch or whatever his/her name is should be shot for never having spent the time to listen to those bands before making such a STUPID comparison... Green Day and the Chemmys... Oh yeah, they sound the same... Bleedin' techno bands Edited by Certif1ed |

This is not a review, and thoughts like this should be expressed on the forum and not added as a review, of course that's merely my opinion. Having said this, shouldn't there be a possibility on the site to review the artist, so besides the summary provided by the progarchives, a submit review part added to that, so these kinds of reviews make more sense and it is easy to see how good a band is or how they are looked upon by the reviewers.(star-ratings added aswel) just a thought of course. |

Proof that nobody here takes the question of 'what is prog' too seriously. And if Voivod isn't prog, neither is Rush. Edited by Useful_Idiot |

Just a thought, but it's interesting that only "OK computer" has been added, and it appears in bold in the discography on the band page. Will the rest follow....or not?

I believe Max has the last word and he should decide if a band is added or not, but in this specific case of Radiohead there was a poll, and 55 members gave their opinion:
72.73% of the people here doesn't believe Radiohead should be in the Archives (almost 3 of each 4), I believe this result deserves some attention. The only other page I consider in the level of ProgArchives is GEPR and they don't include it, so I believe there was no hurry in including them. Iván Edited by ivan_2068 |

You DO know that the poll system on here is flawed, and it's easy for people to vote multiple times, right? All you have to do is log out and then log back in. Edited by Useful_Idiot |

Useful, to be honest I didn't knew it, but even if it's true, this works for the two sides. Iván |

Really? I was just able to do it with the Dream Theater thread (although it only worked once). I'm also pretty sure that if you vote from a different computer it will let you vote again. Edited by Useful_Idiot |

Just because you don't consider them prog doesn't mean they aren't... |

Ok, Why the f**k is Radiohead on here and not Fantomas? this is just not right. We need to kick Radiohead and Styx out of the archives and bring Fantomas in here. Who's with me!?!?!?!

No Useful, just because 72% of the people here and all the serious prog' pages or enciclopedias (GEPR, Progressor, etc) don't consider them progressive, that's the reason. Iván |

Do you mean phillipe's post on this thread was sarcasm? If so, I apologise to him; it's difficult for my monolingual mind to comprehend how people can use sarcasm in a language that isn't their first. I know I find it nigh on impossible to talk even normally in any other languages! (perhaps English included, but that's by the way) |

What I don't get is how we gladly accept The Mars Volta and Porcupine Tree into here (both bands with just as much alt-rock influence as Radiohead), yet we try to add RH and apparently it's the apocalypse.

Give it up people - there are hundreds of bands on the archive - a lot I don't agree with but I'm not screaming about it like a bunch of schoolgirls. It's one band for heaven's sake! and they are progressive |
