What I find interesting, is taht when I conducted an official poll last year, the idea of Split Enz being included was condemned by a good majority.
 
Speaking only for myself here, but one year ago, I had voted for the SE albums I knew 5i thought that 1980's True Colours was their first album, and thought they were a new wave act and had voted accordingly, No.
 
But I dicovered that they had some five or six albums prior to that and that obviouisly these couldn't have been electro-pop new wave , so I searched and found most of their early albums and realized something most of us progheads not from Down Under didn't! Those albums were never realeased in the Northern Hemisphere (at least not widely) at the time. Another thing that intrigued me was that Prog Gnosis, GEPR and Prog Ears all listed SE as prog.
 
So I found the albums in some deserted library file/shelf and gave them a listen.

I presume that these guys are voted in.

I guess the line is long for putting the bands up after the votes,on another thread I heard it was something like 700, so I suppose it'll be a while b4 they're up.
I found out another kiwi band that may be prog but I think I'll put it on hold until the list gets smaller.

Yes I'm pretty sure they've been cleared.

Agreed, they received the green light more than half month ago... I think they'll be added soon. Star

Woohoo, our ever expanding tastes now include another overlooked treasure. I still like to think of "Time & Tide" as an Art Rock classic due to its' subject matter & its' Pop Prog compositons, especially the final 3 songs (Haul Away, Log Cabin, Make Sense of It).
Mind you, do we have XTC in yet ?

I think T&T does have some prog elements like the pioneer/Leaky Boat composition is pop prog especially with pioneers ambient beginning.

Time and Tide is one of their very best albums. Clap
 
I think they're prog related, because indeed some of their stuff has prog tendencies, especially Mental Notes / Second Thoughts.
 
I think they should be added, because a lot of proggers like them and they do have a distinct relation to art rock in the early years, and they're still hinting at art rock for most of their career, because they'd always go for the odd tune, arrangements and indeed, the last triple songs of Time And Tide as well as Eddie Rayner's instrumental song Pioneer have a prog edge, even when they weren't making 'extended' songs anymore.
