Common prog misconceptions

Steve Howe had a small penis.  False, and was one of the most well-endowed people in prog.

When one's bank account is as well-endowed as Phil's, whatever else is an afterthought. 

Proto-prog misconception.

Ringo solo on The End (Abbey Road) was not a real solo.

Ringo didnt want to do a solo, so Paul and John and George, with George Martin, 

removed instruments from the arrangements during the mixing, 

so we can hear almost only the drums played by Ringo.

Anyway, Ringo was a good drummer (listen to I Feel Fine, Rain, A Day in The Life, Come Togehter)

I would add Ticket To Ride to that list.

 

Which brings me to another misconception that Lennon said Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles, apparently it was Jasper Carrott.

Jethro Tull albums are as much albums as are Ian ANderson solo albums. Let's put all Tull's albums on the ANderson page then. No, not the same. Zappa was the leader but the albums were released as The MOthers of Invention, NOT Zappa albums. I know why this happens but the Mothers albums were generally better than the Zappa solo albums because of the band IMHO

I didn't say that about Ian Anderson. Anyway, some of the albums were  credited to "Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention" and not just MOI. Frank was the leader and without him there really was no band or at the very least it would not be the same.  Since you mentioned Tull, no there is no Tull without Ian but I see that as being somewhat different anyway. Technically speaking I do agree that a band listing should be separate in some cases than a solo listing. For FZ and MOI though it doesn't make much difference(at least to me)and it would be silly imo to have a separate listing for FZ and Moi unless they did albums without Frank and I don't think they did. So the way they have it on progarchives(Zappa solo and MOI mixed together)is perfectly fine by me.
