Yikes, you have quite the number of suggestions! Tongue
You will need to gain the support of a Special Collaborator before you go anywhere with Prog Related. A SC will then need to present the band to the admin team.

If I understand the Prog Related section right it is for artists who had some really Prog albums, and then have gotten away from them/had a big impact on Prog. A ton of his stuff is no where near Prog.

The thing is, I don't believe he fits the definition of prog related, so his adition is unlikely there. On crossover, however, I believe he has a chance if he has at least one full-fledged progressive rock album. Just point out which album (or albums) and I believe there won't be much trouble getting he in out database.

Thanks Caio, I trust your decision (even tho I'm somehow pretty sure it'll get straight NOs from the X-O team Tongue ). I'll skip listening to this band and that's what counts right now. Wink

The crossover team is notoriously inclusive - because the genre definition is so wide, if they weren't, we would have half the music world in the subgenre!

^ That's how it looks, yes, but in my business history with the team I discovered it's more of a myth.

I'm tempted to say yes just for the dietary implications. Smile
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

For sure Children of the Sun is a progressive composition, lots of synthesizers, space/fantasy lyrics.......but when I think about Billy Thorpe as compared to Supertramp.....that would be my struggle.

His myspace does not have any music or anything like that because he died in 2007, here is his discography and official website if this helps.

 
I still think his music is too poppy and not enough albums that were Prog.
I will post a video of me eating my socks if he gets through. Tongue
