Blind Faith - proto/heavy/ or prog related

Listening to this album i cant dount this albums relation to prog as 2 members are full fledged members of bands that are in the archives, by looking at the song lengths on the album it is quite lengthy and my looking at release date this is fearly impressive for a rock (supergroup) at that time , the bands  music is sophistiated, streched out, mooves out of the standards of normal rock, pop and blues, this is progressive rock, and as progressive as th Moodis, Van der Graaf and many other at THIS time, this sole album and their only album is very progressive and streches out the bounderies of prog, and it is also have twin guitar lead solos, before Wishbone Ash

i agree, but they also have a chance for a prog-propper like heavy prog,the arangements are really progressivea and the escapisme of the structure of some songs are progressive, not only jamming but cousius stretchning of the format of rock/blues/pop

for this song alone thier should be no hesitation

^^^^Pure prog indeed. It has a proggy song structure and a 5/4 time signature.

Suggested twice in 2006. The second suggestion didn't amount to much, but this one by Mandrakeroot generated some discussion, as well as a poll (even though only 7 voted!): http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27607. Opinion then seemed pretty well split down the middle, as I'm sure it will be now.

bump

I like their album, especially 'Do What You Like' - they are close to Traffic in parts, the compositions show blues rock as well as prog fundament, so I personally would agree with prog related, but not a full-fledged prog subgenre

please consider, this is a controversial case and we are not focussed on adding prog related bands, you should convince a Special Collaborator to bump the evaluation procedure first ...

Neither prog, proto-prog nor prog-related.

No, no and no. 'Do What You Like' is the proggiest thing on it (and that vid didn't even have the whole thing), but it's closer to the jam-oriented mainstream rock of the time than 'prog'. Because some members are in bands listed on PA or some songs use time sigs other than 4/4 does not mean they belong here. I think we should stop adding anyone to Proto and Related; if they are not here already, they probably shouldn't be.
