PA the only site to recognize J-R Fusion as Prog? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I like that PA doesn't have a multi-tag system since this is now something unique, because now all other music websites have a multi-tag system, and many of those tags people put are meaningless.

That makes two of us. I also much prefer PA's unique system of assigning one singular genre tag per artist. Thumbs Up

When I go to the PA database, however, to the entry of a band that is categorised as "symphonic prog," I know that it is prog-rock.

Sure, but which of the 30+ Genesis releases are actually symphonic prog? Only a tiny fraction. As a newbie that still leaves you clueless. Same with Miles Davis in JRF, as others have pointed out. The nice, simple one-dimensional label only makes sense to those who are already very familiar with the artist.

^ The policy has always been to include entire discographies.

Progarchives is like an old museum located in an old building, and as such is quite unique these days. Should a historic museum be relocated to a new building just because it's "more functional"? Nope. All that's needed is upkeep.

What we're discussing would be a natural part of mentioned upkeep. A dysfunctional old museum that never upgrade their services (etc), located in a old, worn down building that isn't properly maintained, will experience a steady decrease in its visiting numbers. Much like PA.

-All that said, I don't personally need all these tags and genres. I'm just pointing out the obvious dysfunctionalities in the model you two - or three, for some absurd reason prefer.

Hi,

I guess we're gonna wait for The Louvre to start falling apart and lose a lot of art ... because it is not functional, or meaningful? Or a bomb will take it down, just like London lost a lot of art in the big wars in the 20th Century.

Old museums are an interest look at a lot of time in the history of the arts ... but then, I think that Jensen's History of Art is far more important, as it actually discusses the various periods and this makes them be a lot more interesting ... the only upkeep, is yours and mine abilities to process all that stuff ... and then try to make sense of a lot of history in the past 500/600 years, that has tendency to show a lot of the "progressive" ideas, within the sense that things are changing and possibly improving ... and a lot of this may have happened when the orchestras got bigger, and kinda dropped off in the 20th Century big time ... though our local symphonies are so out of time and place as to not be funny, or even enjoyable ... another museum that is going to die as well, I bet!

I went to the Louvre some years ago and the Venus de Milo was still missing an arm.

(just an absurd and 'armless attempt at a joke in case anyone thinks I went too far out on a limb, and missed the point)

Hi,

I'm sure it has ... but it is a war that scares me the most ... if the big church gets a makeover, I'm pretty sure a lot of those historical buildings, end up getting a makeover so they help the city maintain its status as as "history" ... at least in the arts.

(love it ... wonderful!)

And I'm sure that the Mona Lisa was still watching you ... and her bird brain was wondering what you were thinking?

Don't worry about it, just a flesh wound LOL

One can learn something from the scene with King Arthur vs. the Black Knight on how to not only disarm your adversary, but on how to disleg him too.

Firearms are preferable when dealing with people who attack you with bananas, of course.
