Topic: Bands on my iTunes but not in PA Posted: October 21 2008 at 17:17 |
Why did you take out Frusciante from the list? He's doomed to be here sooner or later.

^ I understand the reasons and purpose of your list Chris. However, this is in danger of diverting attention from the more deserving bands towards the more obviously contentious (and dare I say not-a-hope-in-hell)bands.

I didn't intend to sound as if I were suggesting all those bands should be considered for inclusion, as I stated some are clearly not prog. The list was just meant to stimulate some debate and bring some bands to the forefront of people's minds. Hopefully, we might get a couple more 'deserving' bands added, and some people will discover a new band or two.

Air is great, Iīve been thinking about suggesting them myself. Lots of vintage keyboards and retro soundscapes. Just listen to the first song on Moon Safari. And Donīt think there isnīt more to Air than Sexy Boy and the rest of the generally commercial songs that they have on their myspace. Listen to the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. Thatīs prog guys.

Side one is great - you can hear The Doors, a little bit of early Tangerine Dream at times, some of the better bits of Iron Butterfly........sounds good prog to me guys!

Good Album but Hard Psych to me

agree...i would not call them prog
Among others if you mean Nirvana from UK, the 70s band that released Local Anaesthetic, they are already here
About Leo Nero, i remember i personally voted no for his inclusion.

This should all be discussed in the Suggest New Bands section. Squeeze and The Scissor Sisters? I think not.

Maybe less of what they say makes you go blind?

The very same. Going blind now to match my senility. That's another one off the list. Sure I scanned through all the bands earlier?

Agree re Neil Young and U2. Assemblea should be here I think (I might propose). Wondered why I couldn't find Etna! Am giving it a spin now.

Whereas quite a lot (most) obviously don't, I think there are at least 10 bands there that might need to be added - anyone recognise any of the above that might merit consideration?

Now narrowed down to those I think might at least merit discussion (acknowledging the last e-mail that some already have).

OK, of those I know, Satriani has been discussed numerous times, but the jury is still out on him. My Dying Bride were added and removed some time ago. The likes of Dire Straits, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio and Portishead have also been suggested and discussed in the past. As for the Stranglers, they have been very recently evaluated and rejected by the Xover team.

Don't know a lot of them, but the green ones would definitly be a thumbs up from me. Blues would require some deep thinking.
