Hmm, I'm not seeking to be part in any "pressure groups" (at least for The Byrds), but I'm not ashamed of my arguments given towards their inclusion. In addition, I think Sean also gave good arguments against their inclusion.
 

Should there be some kind of ban list formed of the bands which addition suggestions are not welcome?


I made sure I added "Personally speaking" in my post to ensure that people realised this was just my personal opinion and NOT site policy.

Fred: "I putting the Animals up for inclusion - well House Of The Rising Son was the longest single ever up to that point time, and therefore must be progressive"
 
Joe: "Nah, I'll go for the Shadows, first British group to have a bass guitar - now that's progressive"
 
Bryan: "Gobblers! Elvis man, he fused C&W and the blues, now that was progressive"

Younger than Yesterday and The Notorious Byrd Brothers are IMO excellent psychedelic albums.
Unfortunately they went back to the roots after these two, otherwise they could be leading the prog genre in USA. Based on these factors, no, though I like them very much.

The Animals have excellent albums: The Twain Shall Meet, Every One of Us  and Love Is. They are very psychedelic and experimental and maybe more proto-prog than Byrds.
