If we can choose individual artists as well as bands, then my favourite male singer is Chris Rea, and my favourite female singer is Sarah Brightman. Heart
The Doors & Jefferson Airplane are also in progarchives as proto-prog Smile. But some reason that I donīt understand Grateful Dead not. But that is just so dead subject to discuss. Have to say Chris Rea and Sarah Brightman leaves me totally cold.

Crikey! You mean to say The Doors & Jefferson Airplane have both been here on ProgArchives all the time without me even knowing!? In  that case, maybe it's time for me to put together a tribute thread to the music of The Doors. I like the Grateful Dead too, but I guess you already knew that. Smile
 
It looks like I'll have to pick a fourth favourite "non-prog" band now, seeing as my first three choices are already included in ProgArchives. I would have chosen Tangerine Dream, but I have a feeling that they're already here on PA too. Maybe I have more "prog" in my CD collection than I realised, if The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Santana & Tangerine Dream are all here on ProgArchives. Smile

^ As Mortte said at the top of this page, the Doors are in progarchives in the Proto-Prog category.

Like w/Paul, my first four choices are already here on PA as prog related or jazz rock (Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Journey, and Chicago) so I will go with an old favorite that pre-dates my prog fandom, and the headliner band at the first concert I ever went to see: Van Halen.  OY!  Who am I kidding?  I love Van Halen, but my real answer is Judas Priest!!!

I'll go with Fleetwood Mac as my fifth choice of favourite non-prog band, unless they're on ProgArchives too. Smile

They might be prog related, you never know. They're UK no.1 was an instrumental. I'll look into it - if they're not on PA I think they have a right to be, despite the 80s pop years.

That's fair enough. It would require a stretch of the imagination to consider Fleetwood Mac as even being remotely prog-related. Smile

Well, you never know, even with prog being such a niche genre.

Really love Peter Greenīs Fleetwood Mac, Kiln House & Future Games are also ok albums, but after that I think they become really boring band. FM really is one of those sixties started bands I understand theyīre not in PA. Of course there are some prog Then Play On and also those two albums I mentioned, but still...

Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac was a gravedigger, and the band Janus (included in Crossover) debut album is called Gravedigger, but that would not be considered sufficient Prog Relation. ;) Nor would Santana being in PA -- Santana, of course, famously covered Peter Green's "Black Magic Woman".

^ Purely by coincidence, the last album I reviewed was "Gravedigger" by Janus. Smile

You know it's pretty easy to search for bands on here, right?

Liars are a really good experimental band. Always change things up on every album
