^ I was listening to the track "Destiny" and it reminded me of Europe ... mostly because of the chord progressions and vocal lines.

We're talking musically here!!!! They both come from Sweden and that means what???? Blondie and Pink Floyd vector from the same landmass - so do Black Sabbath!! Listen to Strat ... then comment.

Really? They're both Swedish, aren't they? So, I would say there must be barely some kilometers or miles between them.

Listening to Destiny now ... this is reminding of Europe a lot (think Final Countdown). Very, very basic harmonic structure. Sonata Arctica are another association ... neither of those are prog. Ok, the track is more than 10 minutes long ... big deal.

Korn - should be here as well - if only for their "Issues" album.

Oh yeah -Miles Davis deserves his spot.

As for Shakira - pretty - but pure pop.

Man , I also like Stratovarius and I agree that listeing to the them may clear your path to classic bands like Yes for instance. However , I think the site has to restrain additions a bit for example no matter how much I like Miles Davis his inclusion on the site was very controversial and left the door open to a lot of jazz mucisians to get here
Probably we'll see Stan Getz and Bill Evans here soon!!
What's the big deal in not having one of your fav bands listed here? You still can discuss about them in the General Music disscusions thread. I could go and open a Shakira appreciation thread right now.

I've just listened again to Korn and yes I'm brave enough to suggest that their music is prog.  Anyone prepared to call them run of the mill? That would be braver!! Anyone happy to suggest that they are mainstream boogie or whatever metal?
