Deep Purple is Proto-Prog not Prog Related- I would happily argue that the first three albums and the Concerto for Group and Orchestra are full Prog and that they are not in a Prog subgenre because of their later, more successful, albums.
 
Whether you count the vote or not is completely irrelevant and I couldn't give a damn either way. As I am the only person who has picked him it will count for nothing anyway.
 
 
On a lighter note - I'm a bloody Admin, not some "guy" and you do not tell me what to do. Tongue

I kind of shuffle "proto prog" into "prog related" in my brain-they're both not TECHNICALLY strictly prog and it just makes things easier for me, personally if I don't have to go through and decide which pr/pp drummer is "real prog"and which aren't. And also I mean that the ENTIRE vote won't be counted, all ten, since once again it just makes things harder for me if I have to reshuffle my brain for math purposes. 

The rules are the rules, by God! Angry
Fair enough - scratch my votes.

...You could just change that one drummer and I'd be able to count all your votes.

Ah, Zack Hill is a great choice, he'd have been in my list for sure if my brain had registered him as a prog drummer Dead

And Nathan, as long as the band/guy you mentioned appears on PA under something that isn't Prog Related it's valid.

Also, could somebody post some Gavin Harrison performance videos? I've heard some Porcupine Tree but the drumming struck me as unspectacular.

So you want me to give 1 point to Carl Palmer and 10 to Jon Theodore, just so we're clear?

Also, to the guy above him, Ian Paice is prog-related. Switch him out for somebody else and I'll count the vote.
