I was going to say Miles Davis, but that would've been too obvious. Smile

Really? I don't think I've ever seen any of them mentiond as prog except on PA. I think a long time ago I saw Oingo Boingo mentioned as prog by one guy but that's it. Now Kate Bush on the other hand......

As for "where I'm gong with this" as I stated I wanted to see what other bands or artists people have noticed as being prog pretty much only on here. If you don't agree then that's fine. There are plenty of other threads to follow on here. Wink

I think it’s definitely the other way around. I know far more bands and artists that are considered prog EXCEPT in PA. All three names you mention are considered prog by many outside PA.

All three have featured in Prog magazine. I have seen videos from all three posted on various prog pages on FB.

Tori Amos for the longest time was described as “the Kate Bush of the US” which is pretty telling, as most people consider Kate Bush prog.

Not really sure where you’re going with this. As far as I’m aware one of the pre-requisites for being included on this site are being acknowledged/recognised as prog. But that’s not enough for inclusion here, which is why there are bands and artists widely acknowledged/recognised as prog, but who are not prog “enough” for PA.

(For example, Warmrain has been submitted for inclusion by someone recently, and I suspect they will be rejected as “not prog enough” - despite being featured a few times in Prog magazine, and playing the UK prog festival circuit.)

What are some bands or artists that you have noticed are considered to be some form of prog on here(for the purposes of this thread let's say anything other than post rock, fusion, psych and electronic) but are not typically considered prog on other sites such as all music, wikipedia etc. I have come across three in particular and they are:

1. Oingo Boingo

2. Tori Amos

3. Robert Plant

There's also Led Zeppelin, the Who and Black Sabbath and probably a few other classic kinds of bands but those are either proto prog or prog related so I won't count them.

Also, this is not meant to criticize Progarchives way of doing things or their categorization. I just find it interesting that some bands are labelled that way here but typically not in other places. If anything it means that PA are in some ways more open minded than standard music sites.
