BTW: Helloween has not only been discussed twice, since 2005 it has been mentioned repeatedly and never added.

I know not all of this links are suggestions, but I believe the issue has been discussed vastly.

I have a more pressing question.

Is it "HELL-o-ween," like a 12-year-old making "Halloween" slightly more profane by changing a vowel?  Or is it "Hello-ween," like someone is wishing his schlong a good day?

Oh...well then we can therefore disregard anything they have to say about Prog Metal.


Yep, though Heavy Metal was a pretty progressive animated film and they did have a track in that: "Queen Bee".  I preferred the magazine.

But was it reviewed as a prog metal album?  Like I said, they don't only cover Prog, nor does PA for that matter.  From the description I gave it's said to be a "Web zine with news and reviews of heavy metal, progressive metal, and progressive rock."

Anyway, as you say, it's up to the admins to decide if they think it fits the Prog Related parameters sufficiently (I never did get a handle on the Prog Related category). Incidentally, I've wondered if Prog Related is a strictly non-prog category, as some people say, if anything having any Prog merits should be allowed there. ;)

^^^^ Was it ever evaluated by the admin team? Did the admin respond in those threads? I haven't read them.  As we know, there is a formal, and commonly very laborious, process when it comes to that which is not the same as with other teams.  Suggesting and discussing is not usually enough.  It usually entails a formal proposal and full support by a "staff" member usually, for instance, before it would even be considered for evaluation down the road.  Even with collab support and good arguments it's commonly a very lengthy process before a decision might be reached.

Well, just to end, we must go to the Prog Related parameters:
 
 
Prog Related is the category that groups bands and artists that:

- Without being 100% Prog, received clear MUSICAL influence of this genre, AND

- Are widely accepted as MUSICALLY influential to the development of Progressive Rock by the community, AND

- Blend characteristics of Progressive Rock with mainstream elements creating a final product that despite not being part of the genre is evident that are close to Prog.
 
1.- Received Prog influences?: I believe proobably, many bands received Prog influence
 
2.- Are widely accepted as influencial to the development oif Pr9og?: No way, that's more than evident.
 
3.- Are close to Prog Rock?: I don't believe, I liked Walls of Jericho and Keeper of the Seven Keys, but never found any Prog relation..
 
But the Adms will decide.

Anyone who says that The Legacy is not a progressive metal album is purely insane.


Purely.
