Nightwish are nothing more than a heavy metal band with keyboards.

REMOVE THEM!

People who are writing crappy reviews like "This band is not prog" do it in the wrong manner, but I think they are right.

"Sucking" doesn't equal non-prog.

I rate their first album quite high, after that it became a keyboard show.
The rest of the albums just have a few long-lived songs each. Not prog
though.

Indeed listen to ELP for example

Blind Guardian should be on the archives long before anyone like Nightwish gets on.  BG have genuine progressive elements in their music.  Nightwish are merely symphonic metal with operatic vocals.  Big difference.

The most prog thing Nightwish have ever done is cover Pink Floyd.

From my point of view, Nightwish is a power metal band with some progressive elements. I don't think that Nightwish should be is this site.

No seriously.

Please don't consider Nightwish to be Finnish, they are Scandinavian...

No-one in Finland seems to know Nightwish.

i just wish we could remove all the progressive metal bands on this site, save for maybe a few bands that arent always considered metal, like dream theater

honestly, i am listening to the two Devin Townsend tracks available on this site, this is prog? um no

I still can't believe Iced Earth was being considered, I dont give a sh*t that that Gettysburgh song is wicked long.  Manowar has a thirty minute long song
(or is it 20), are they prog?  Manowar experiments with sound all the time, many of their earlier songs were told like stories.  Honestly, why not consider Dark Avenger a prog track, or why not Battle Hymn, or Revelations or March for Revenge or Gates of Valhalla, I could keep going.  Why not make them a prog band?  sh*t loads more progessive than Nightwish.  Oh wait, I know how to make Manowar a prog band, give them a gimmick like a female operatic vocalist.

No, I don't think Manowar is prog, but they are a hell of a lot more prog than f**king Nightwish.  I still say you might as well throw Black Sabbath in the Prog Metal section, although not a prog band, they are a tons more prog than f**king Nightwish.

ok, on a serious note, despite the fact I think we should yank the entire Prog Metal section off this site, if it stays I do believe Blind Guardian should be added.  I would say their last three albums were prog metal and each release is becoming more and more progressive.  Their whole career has progressed to a more sophisticated form.  Listen to their first album and their last, you wouldnt believe it was the same band.  Just listen to And then their was silence...

edit: on top of that Blind Guardian have played a bunch of forms of metal; speed, thrash, power, folk, and symphonic

oh f**king f**k

I respect  your right to opposition, but I recently got the 80's rock band AUTOGRAPH emitted from the site and they had been featured on the site.

So it is possible for bands to be removed.

For those who think I completely dislike NIGHTWISH, well, I don't. I even went to see them live, but I accept them for what they are.

Peace & take care

I'm not sure what the aim of this poll is. We know that once bands are added to the site, they are not removed.

If you don't like them, just ignore them. If you don't think they're prog, say so if you like. By why the poll?

Personally, I think there is enough pomp and adventure to their music to make them a marginal case for inclusion.

I prefer listen to Nightwish than listen to Styx...

I prefer listen to my mother in low screaming at me than listen to Styx, in the other hand.
