As far as I'm concerned, there's no connection between that grammy and the fact that Barlow joined Rising Force.... he only was asked to join Yngwie's band, who, as you can see, creates a kinda "dream team" xD...... Jeff Scott Soto is also a very good vocalist (and I don't like metal-related singers!)

^ That's why I consider only his first album worth enough to debate.

This is a thread that I didn't dare to put on the "Suggest new bands" section...... because this thread is meant to value Yngwie's progressiveness.

First of all, I know I created a very similar thread; that one was an attempt to appreciate Malmsteen bashed stuff. But this thread is different; we're gonna discuss if Y. M. really deserves to be, at least, more mentioned on the archives. 'Cause I know there's a rule I did read somewhere: one prog album from a band/artist is enough for it to be added. I think that means no matter how prolific the artist could be. Please tell if I'm not mistaken about that statement.

Now, Malmsteen is certainly a very prolific musician. So, I think this debate will be (and so I'd like too) focused just on his first release: Rising Force. It's a hell of an album, prog or not....... Wait........ prog? Or not? Progressive metal? Prog related? Instead of making a simple poll, I decided to bring it to a free discuss to share the diversity of opinions. Personally I find quite prog metal hints on it....... Dunno what about you.
