Coheed an Cambria

So, you're saying that people who listen to and enjoy prog-rock are all pretentious then?  Interesting conclusion.

It all depends on the criteria for defining prog.  Coheed appear to tick all the right boxes, IMO.  It just seems to be prejudice about a band which are also linked to the emo sound. What do you mean they didn't like Rush until recently, does that mean they didn't concider themselves prog or not? Does liking Rush automatically determine whether you are prog or not!?!  Claudio may sound like Geddy, but he wasn't influenced by him.  As for prog, they're always had various tags applied to them from prog-metal to prog-emo to prog-rock.  And, Claudio has always maintained that [quote], "Progressive Rock is the best definition he's been able to find for his group's music." Another quote from Claudio on their sound: "And that's what I think being a Progressive Rock band (means) -- the band doesn't stop with just one style."

Coheed and Cambria certainly do seem to have one prog element, pretentious fans.

That happened to me also ... he's quite busy right now, preparing the new version of the website. Also you don't know that in the collabs area there are many bands being discussed for inclusion, that also adds to his workload.

You should PM M@x ... you're a knowledgeable person, I think he'll listen.
