OK, archivers you are doing a fine job. Recently you added Deep Purple, Mercury Rev, Vangelis & Traffic to name but a few.....so with this level of flexibility of what bands go on progarchives, it is now time to add: Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin Grand Funk I mean you even have Radiohead
Keep up the good work. |

STOP IT OR I WILL
Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk are great bands but they will NEVER be in the archives.

.....but obscure bands from the remote corners of Siberia get added just because they are deemed progressive. I don't believe Deep Purple are progressive but I do believe they should be added to this site. Progressive Archives as a site has grown in stature, it also has proven to be flexible including bands from Kraftwerk to Paatos. So let's ,just because we frequently visit this site and have great input, not become too judgemental on bands like say Sabbath or Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin in particular deserve inclusion if only for the ' Rune ' album. Prog archives IMHO is the best site because it has such a wide variety of taste that dictate inclusion by merit. I mean I mostly dislike Radiohead intensley but respect the decision to have them included. Good call on Zep and Black Sabbath, hey we have Uriah Heep and Deep Purple. Keep up the good work and open minds. ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

So when do we include Jean Luc Ponty and Jan Hammer, Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck? Their prog elements are just as strong as Black Sabbath or some other rock bands. Doesnt a line need to be drawn somewhere? ------------- dead things don't talk too well, they've got a shaky sense of diction. |

Queen/Deep Purple ----I say they are here...so wake up and move on.....enjoy the site. BTW, do you guys own it??? If it pisses you off move on...or shrug it off. Queen on the site....another good move only for their first four albums, can't deny the progressive element. Sorry but it is a damning fact.

I didn't really think Styx and Supertramp were prog before I got here, now I can see why, but I think Why not Blue Oyster Cult? They are as prog as Styx and Supertramp right? But I hope BOC will never be added to this site because they are clearly not prog. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I would argue that JLP deserves inclusion and maybe Brubeck but not Miles Davis or Jan Hammer c'mon! JLP contribution is a definite. I would say that Jazz Fusion is more Prog orientated than pure Jazz like Miles Davis...although equally respectable ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

why not? they are definitely precursors of prog metal. I had in fact wondered why there is such a huge section of prog metal bands and no Deep Purple when I first came to this side -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

Hang on, some of us don't even think Rush are prog!! Deep Purple, Radiohead and Queen are definitely not prog IMO, but I suspect they're here to stay. What about: Golden Earring Wishbone Ash Runrig All those are at least as prog as the recent additions but for God's sake don't add them!!!

Peter Chaps PLEASE don't turn this site into a general rock site.Led Zep and Sabbath are geat bands but there is absolutely no good reason in the world to include them. JUST SAY NO..YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE |

How can you say ' Ballad of the Beacon' is not prog or anything from the debut to Pilgrimage. ' Front Page News' is commercial but a darn site better than Invisible touch and noone questions Genesis because of their highly important early work. Let's not deny the early 70's created prog in bands that did not perhaps even have a leaning towards prog at the time but still went along for the ride. Therefore excluding them reduces the credibility of this fine site. ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

I don't agree with the last line at all.Why? I grew up in the seventies (like many here) and Sabbath and Led Zep (not to mention Queen) were never considered prog.It will distort and dilute the importnace of this site to include them.They are great ROCK icons.Leave them be.Deep Purple did produce the concerto for group and orchesta album so they have some reason for being here although I would have kept them out as the lines are now getting too blurry and inevitably we are getting the calls to include Sabbath and Led Zep as well.Slippery slope... btw I still think there was a justification for including Radiohead who have produced at least 2 full prog albums.

As so-called "prog" fans, many think that everything they like must somehow now be prog. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |
Many are too young to have lived through the classic prog era -- they see metal bands (with keyboards) here, so they think that classic hard rock bands must now somhow be "prog" by default. (They're trying to get them "in through the out door."

Black Sabbath? Grand Funk ? Led Zep? Blue Oyster Cult? We tiptoe around the edges of etiquette far too much on this forum. Anyone who suggested any of those bands or agrees that they are Prog is mentally-retarded. This is not an opinion.It is the only conclusion one can draw from this lunacy! Go away quickly please. |
