It seems as if there is a fair amount of support. Prog Related would suit him well. He even had some proto moments in his early stuff.

If it has to be PR, then the Admin team will have their say on the matter. Personally, I am in favour of his addition, even if I only know his seminal albums "Blow by Blow" and "Wired".

I think it would make very much sense to add him as prog related.

I was in on the 2005 discussions and we did not have Prog Related at the time if we had JB would have gone in.
I can't see why now after so many other inclusions that produced far less prog related moments than Jeff Beck (Jimmy Page comes to mind) that we can't just put him in now as prog related.

I think he's ventured far enough into prog territory to be considered as belonging to this fraternity. He definitely pushed the envelope and there's hardly a progressive guitarist that hasn't been influenced by his nonconformity.

He is very good, but for me he fits in the cathegory of "great music not prog", in spite of their fusion efforts.

I remember suggesting Jeff Beck back in 2005, and he got refused. Then again, it's nearly two years later so maybe he'll get accepted this time.

So, has the discussion taken place already? And what's the result? I see he hasn't been added yet. Has he been refused?

I think he is on the list of groups that have accepted.
but there arethe non-prog albums that scares us a bit.

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Has he been considered by the Band Admissions Team in terms of inclusion? If so then what's the verdict?
I've got two of his albums - "Blow by Blow" and "Wired" - and there's really nice fusion on them IMO.
