Many things are progressive - although they're not prog. We have to find a balance between progressiveness and "prog" as a genre. I'd be more than happy to add Metallica, Megadeth, Diamond Head - and maybe even Black Sabbath, if "prog" was all about innovation and pioneering new genres.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I was referring to the whole Band Submissions Team.
Black Sabbath should fit at least in Prog Related subgenre IMO (especially the albums listed by Abstrakt). I agree with what Abstrakt said:

What's more they created a completely new genre - metal. Isn't it progressive?

i know, i know...
but listen to thease albums and you'll understand:
The years 74-78 is actually a bit proggy. Expacially the Songs "The Writ", "Megalomania", "Spiral Architect", "Air Dance" and "Johnny Blade" Clap
