Whats that?...you´d like Hank Marvin for superior leadguitarist?!!Yeah ...will do....and you say your grand ma´ are superior on vocal?? Why sure we´ll...let her in her..anything for you..as you obviosly know you progmusic!!

The same arguments can be made about a band like Kraftwerk. If Kraftwerk is included, why are not artists like the Human League, Japan, Gary Numan and Ultravox included?

you obviously don't know the early Kraftwerk albums (I, II and Ralf and Florian), else you wouldn't say that

I heard 'Autobahn' and I found that to be quite progressive too, especially some of the eerie shorter tunes on the album- I have no problem with Kraftwerk being here.

Well..guys..there you have it..again.....we never seem to agree as

to what is prog and what is not!!! Maybe....the earlier intro...

cant remember his name...was right: This fabulous site eventually

could be named: Rock Archives!!??

Mr Larz has it, I know I am new here but already reading a lot of posts it appears that if all views were adhered to, this indeed would be Rock Archives. For goodness sake, Japan? Talk Talk? I must be missing something here, coz they appear to have as much to do with prog (to my ears) as Mariah Caery does to singing. But, ahh, there's the rub 'to my ears'

If I had all the money I've spent on drink, I'd spend it on drink.

I must say that this is the best organized and most complete prog rock site but I have noticed that some bands listed have nothing to do with prog. I am not talking about bands like Queen or Styx tha t are a little "lighter" but still bands with some prog elements. I am talking about bands that are playing something completely diferent than prog. I am going to give some examples becouse it will make no good to speak about any band I think it falls to it.

Nightwish: A great band that I enjoy to listen but it is totaly power metal. Just becouse they have keyboards doesn't mean they are prog. If we have nightwish here we sould also have Stratovarious, Thunderstone, Sonata Arctica and a hundred such bands. Well guys I thing this is just europower metal and of course most music magazines say the same.

Rhapsody: For God's sake. Look at them ... All their albums are the same. All of them are power metal the Helloween way plus some orchestrecal parts. They don't even make a progress from an album to another. If this is prog then Metallica live with michael Kammen are prog to and so are Rage of XIII and Lingua Mortis albums.

Whaat do you think. I am sure that some of you will agree and you may have noticed such bands yourselves.

the site has been infested with plain ordinary rock bands.Nothing wrong with that but in their own place and certainly not on here.Names like Fantomas to name but one spring to mind.

sorry bad grammar

still, no prog.

Sorry,but saying "Pink Floyd ARE prog" is not bad grammar.It was a statement of fact.As in THEY (the band) are the essence of prog.Thanks for the input though.
