Who would you remove ?

Indeed but I think Banks distanced himself from the 'prog thing' around the Wind & Wuthering time. Shape of things to come, I guess.

I would like to have Green Jelly removed. Their debut album was nothing but juvenile cartoonish humour that was augmented by reprocessed rock riffs that made one smile once you figured out that they weren't anti-meat activists when they sang  The Three Little Pigs.
That & I wold like removed all those who strt inane & barely disguised Phil Collins / 80s Genesis / Dream Theater / Classis Rock hate threds for no apparent gud reason. And I need a new speel checkr.

Very good advice, gentlemen.

In my opinion Iron Maiden is a perfect example of a "prog related" band. Iron Maiden's Steve Harris is influenced by such bands as Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, ELP, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Pink Floyd etc, and you can definitely hear that when you're listening to certain Iron Maiden songs. For example, Phantom of the Opera, Prodigal Son, To tame a land, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Alexander the Great, Seventh son of a Seventh Son, Sign of the Cross, Dance Of Death, The Legacy and many other songs are very progressive.

And I wouldn't remove any prog-related band from PA. Although I don't understand why there are so many jazz fusion bands in here... Some of them sound very progressive though.

I'd remove the entire Proto-Prog and Prog Related categories if I could. And divide Prog Metal into several subgenres.

I still insist that Green Jelly do not belong here. Their album Cereal Killer is an insult to all grain related food by products. 
P.S. Oh, & I'd get rid of all the subgenres & set up a more simple division - Prog , not-Prog. That way we could include non-prog bands in their own section without going through the trolling attacks as to why King Crimson are not prog, but Uriah Heep are.

Didn't we agree at some point that there would be a lot more rest if we just removed The T?

We do want people do take us somewhat seriously.

Actually, I don't care if I'm taken seriously. I would like to be taken out for supper though. La Cave A Pape on your tab, with just my family & 120 close friends. "Table D'Hote" SVP, & bring us your most bountiful wine oh tood sweet!
