I'll agree some of the stuff is more chambery experimental than folk, but most has some sort of lineage to folk, and they certainly seem to be attracting attention in prog circles and being compared to mostly prog acts. I'm not clear on why they should need to have been around since the 60s to be prog folk. We folkies are an old bunch but we can still get in board with new stuff. So I voted yes and am waiting for Clem's input.

No no Chris, I wasn't asnwering directly for you on a personal level really I was just speaking my mind about some bands that are on PA, and they have little or nothing Prog and some bands that are never added and they do have. Just that Well, if it's a no it's a no, but for me, and for my little Progshine Jack O' The Clock is a yes: http://www.progshine.net/2013/08/jack-o-clock.html |

well, i love revolution and democracy, so YES im not accepting a NO that simple. and i think thats a good thing.
Specially if there is a heavy talk about the categorization on PA and of what is prog in general. i dont try to decide or dictate sth, its just a discussion. And im always happy if someone does not ignore the whishes (even if they seem stupid in the eyes of others) of the people. So minimum thanks for talking ... So imho its hard to define classic prog and i would not say that you cant find any elemnts of it in Jack O. The other question is, how much classic prog rock must be in there? In case of PA i think too much. And another radical question would be, can PROG be classic?? i totally accept that this is a private and mostly undemocratic db, so in the end its the choice of the admins and co. Its just so sad that prog is limiting itself, or gets limited by some critics. Even if the bands calling themselves prog rock. their tags on reverbnations are clear Folk / Progressive Rock / Experimental they tag themselves on bandcamp with avant rock experimental avant-folk avant-prog chamber folk chamber pop experimental prog rock in opposition singer-songwriter Oakland Babyblaue sites categorize them as Folk; RetroProg; RIO / Avant; Worldmusic / Ethno its on here http://newprogreleases.blogspot.de/2013/03/jack-o-clock-all-my-friends.html and here http://progulator.com/reviews/jack-othe-clock-all-my-friends/ so i dont want to be rude too, but sometimes you just have to fight for your right, chances and new possibilitys! For progress!!! this (ALL MY FRIENDS) is so so prog! and if mostly everybody believes it, its a question worth why the system isnt able to integrate them at the moment!? of course you can argue that there is more X then rock. So maybe we could classify them as a progressive folk outfit. but then there is again symphonic elements, electronic elements and rock elements. So this is also not fitting. you can add them to RIO/avant without problems, but i think that is also not the whole thing of Jack O. Therefor they have to much folk, symphonic and rock structures in there. And sorry, what do i get when i take rock, folk, symphonic and experimental stuff together? i thought thats kind of classic rock? sorry for the sarcasm, but it seems so obvious for me. anyway, for the systems stability and for the fortune/misfortune of the band, we can wait until the next release. but i think we, the usual folks, should be more open, flexible and progressive, this really doesnt hurt. Except the rock maybe ;) |

How many times do I have to say that I think they belong in Prog Folk? That is not my decision of course, but Ken has already posted at the top of this page that he has voted ''yes'' and is just waiting for Bob's input.
Expressing an opinion is one thing, but appearing to use the suggestion lounge to tell someone what a piss-poor job they're doing is something else. You've been a member three years longer than I have but I guess you've missed a lot. These horses have all been flogged well beyond death, but there are better places you can discuss them.

im really not upset or criticize a personal act or statement ... im just trying to convince about a specific view of prog that is necessary to value a specific bands status to be prog or not.
im not sayin that anybody personal is doin a bad job in relation to the work that is expected by the rulers of the db. Seems you are doing just what is somehow needed and thats okay with me as it belongs to the range of the private db. But its kind of different when it comes to prog culture and perspectives in general as this is something that is open information and a room that interacts with all others and should be discussed freely. For me its massively equal which category they are in but they should be in here anywhere. So im just discussing the perspective on the band BUT this just correlates with a general view of prog and the subgenres. sorry as i really havent checked/understand Kens posting ... and my last stand was "already rejected from both". anyway the decision is not there and even if it would, i can still try to convince, cant i? of course not permanently as we also need room for others, i really dont want to continue this til the end of the year as i already stated to wait for the next release. So im really not upset or something, this is just normal discussion and campaigning for me. but some people are really not interested in doing or registering this. Sad me but in the end i guess i dont hang up on this. So dont worry ;) im maybe upset about the idea, that learning it by myself is the best way of learning it. Maybe because someone ask questions, why and where, gets no answers and in the end its his fault not to do it right. And because a theme is discussed many times but always imprecisely and without a new and better result is no reason to make the discussion obsolete. Well sarcasm and provocative thoughts result often in harsh comments ... this was also expected. Sorry for the not fitting and political incorrect input.
