Deerhoof: why aren't they in the prog arc

If anyone has ever heard a deerhoof album, they would recognize it immediately as prog. There are many obvious references to Crimson and Yes on every album. And what's better is everyone in they're band is just sick with it. Drummer is absolutely phenomenal. Listen to the "milk man" or "Revielle" albums and you will be sold on they're necessity to this site before the first thirty seconds are up.
-Just tryin to make sure everyones modern prog experience is complete.

P.S. Battles is on here. Saw them twice live, I wouldn't miss them if they come by... Same with the Fiery Furnaces.

If you want Deerhoof evaluated, could you post a thread in the Suggest New Artists section - with an indication of what subgenre they belong to from your point of view? The Genre Teams will take it from there (and I'll remind them if they don't).

The best suggestion - for both bands you've posted about!

Every band save Brittany Spears or Linkin Park will be included someday. If they even heard of Crimson they seem to be called prog and included.

When the site started raiding the Indie blogs (the Decemberists? Come on) all bets were off. Lets include Fiest or Belle and Sebastian who share Deerhoofs fan base.

This site is so all over the place I feel sorry for a newbe who wants to know what prog actually is!

Please do not clutter this site anymore, but that plea falls on deaf ears. Do not worry Dearhoof will eventually be included along with almost every other band on the planet.

Hey, I didn't quite catch the irony of your message, but it seems like a complaint to something.

If these two bands are not fit for inclusion, they won't be added!

Come on Broken Social Scene and Sufjan Stevens! Although to be fair, this site did get me into Woven Hand.

  Huh? Is that a good thing? What does "it" refer to here?

I think they may fit well in RIO / Avant-Prog or one of the Art Rock genres.

They are borderline for Xover, but I need more samples than just MySDpace to be sure.

Instead of putting down people's work, you could try an alternative - leaving the site altogether, if you have such a poor opinion of it. Personally, I'd recommend you look at other prog sites if you really want to see what 'all over the place' means. Sorry to sound confrontational, but I firmly believe our own opinions can be expressed without sounding so aggressive, even insulting, as you did in the above post.
