Be Grateful

I agree. Aalthough criticism is fine and should be said. Only there is a manner of doing so. Plus wining about something isn't criticism.

I'd like to post here what I posted in the thread about Iron Butterfly regarding this matter:

In light of all the PA dissapointed members I want to help them overcome their grief by showing them something. This is a very good prog rock website. Let me give some examples.

You can discover here all kinds of bands from different genres and countries. Take for example these threads:

A very good article on  Belgian Chamber Prog scene By: Sean Trane

There are more.

What more can you ask for?

You have wonderful collaborators and forum members that are willing to share their knowledge and experience with the rest, and some even send others song samples for others to listen to.

And you make a whole thread about Iron Butterfly being added, because you think they are not worthy? Relax, enjoy what this site has to offer you, take advantage of it. If you really wnat to change things and complain, write to the band admission team and explain to them you reasons for not including them, and don't make threads which I can assure you will arouse controversy, insults, bad feelings and eventually will be closed by Jody or Easy Livin'.

Have a good day!

We all should be happy we have a great site to come and research prog and have intelegent , discussions about it. I'm happy this site is here and whatever changes the collaborators decide to make, proto-prog or not, are fine with me. Atleast this site is progressing and not staying the same with all the same bands and never going the extra mile to make this site the best place for prog on the web. Be grateful this place is here, so what if it has a band or two that you don't think belong in the proto-prog section? Thanks Prog Archives, and collaborators, for this wonderful site.  Any changes you make are fine by me.

Me too, I love this site!

I must say the thread on Iron Butterfly was very entertaining reading - the volleys were fast and furious!!!
