Styx and Primus both in the same genre

They have almost a space metal feel to the music if those samples are a fair representive of their overall sound.  Look through the gneres descriptions and let me know what you think.  I cannot move them myself but I can lobby for them.

the tracks on the website are there most progresive  there ussual stuff is alot funkier but still progresive so those songs arent really a great representation of primus

Nice point,Mike

Primus and Styx in Art prog/rock

No way

Progressive Pop was the original name of that genre.  In recent days it has also been Prog-Related and now it is Prog-influenced.  Tomorrow who know what it will be.  But since I helped write the definiton although I don't really agree with the category at all this is the best description i could find (I am not a big genre fan):

Prog-Influenced
Rock and Pop Bands and Artists after 1970 who were not truly “prog” (as that term is generally and broadly defined, even by the site), but who were clearly not “mainstream” or simply “rock” bands.

A wide subgenre that encompasses two kinds of bands/artist, that either consist of progressive artist that strayed away from their progressive roots into mainstream rock or were influenced by progressive rock.

Even though the music by these artists is sometimes unrelated it had things in common with prog music in that it was very structured and even adventurous, sometimes hard or heavy, sometimes mellow, strong melodies, good hooks are an integral part of most of the material. Sometimes these artists pioneered other rock genres.

Though most of these artist can't really be considered progressive themselves, their relation to progressive music is not to be underestimated.
