One only need listen to "Aural Sculpture" to feel the prog... This was a very clever band.

Absolutely great new wave/punk band....great musicians...great songwriting but not prog...they may have been influenced by prog or classical music but not a prog band. Still one of my favorite new wave/punk bands of all time though.

Before Ultravox, Magazine, This Mortal Coil  or John Foxx , among a few others? Let us not confuse keyboardist Dave Greenfield with Dave Greenslade, OK? Burnel had a rumbling bass, the drumming okay but Cornwell was not exactly a masterful guitarist IMHO. Love them though,  Feline and Aural Sculpture were great albums.  
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I'm not familiar with The Stranglers but I did a search and see that they have been suggested numerous times for inclusion.   If this link works right http://www.progarchives.com/forum/search_results_posts.asp?SearchID=20080915161844&KW=stranglers  you might want to check out some of these threads and for those that haven't been closed add your 2 cents.
