List of Rejected Artists

I assume that there is a list of artists that have been officially rejected by M@x or the admins on the special collaborator site.  Is there any chance of that being a part of the main archives?  Kind of a "we have deemed these bands to not be prog enough for our site and if they would like to be on here then their next album should be prog or else!!!"

We don't have a list of rejected artists in the Collaborators Lounge (we have, instead, a master list of artists to be added), plus it is normal to announce the rejection of an artist in the thread where it was suggested (since most artists are suggested); nevertheless, I think it's a nice idea to make such a thread somewhere in the forum - it would the opposite of Avestin's Latest Additions To PA, still neatly informative.

I don't believe in suggestions of a wrong or rejected artists not repeating, in case of a rejected artists list. If a guy wakes up in the morning and believe Toto and Green Day have progressive stuff, he will make a post here, "suggesting" them to be added.

Further more, I myself would very much wish such a list would hold a rational element in it, cause creation it only for discussions and dialogues like "X was rejected by PA"-"What?! How is that possible?"-"Yeah, man, that's just plain wrong" wouldn't be of any use.

Here's the brief list for proto prog and prog related. The teams for the prog genres will have their own lists.

^ I'll install some nice updates this weekend ... you'll be able to narrow down the list to rejected bands. Maybe I'll also manage to add a search facility where you simply enter the name of the band in a text field, and the website shows you the matching bands and their status.

Absolutely right RF4, who knows what the future holds!

How can I know if they were accepted but not added yet, still under consideration or definitly rejected? I also noticed they are not on any of lists on Mike's site.

If they were taken into consideration by those teams who don't have a chart on Mike's site, of course they won't be there. Could you be so kind as to tell us which bands they were, and where you would suggest placing them, so that we can see what we can do?

OMG! There are some hilarious bands on that list. All hail the gatekeepers!

thanks God, Stratovarius are not in PA...
