A question about site policy

I sometimes truly wonder about the site politics regarding artist additions. While a band like "Atlantis", (the German band which featuring Inga Rumpf of Frumpy (who are in he archives as fully prog) as singer who made at least twoo albums that border prog (thee first self-titled one and "It's Getting Better") the band "Jeronimo" is added under "Kraurock" though the only thing "Kraut" about them is that they are a German band. The music of Jeromimo however can best be compared to the music of Credence Clearwater Revival, and I am certain no-one would dream of having them added to the archives.

The reason I especially mention Credence Clearwater Revival in comparison with them is that the two bands actually did an album together, on which Jeronimo played on one side and Credence Clearwater Revival on the other.. The cover of that album is somewhat infamous; have a look for yourself.



While the two singles of Jeronimo (cover versions of songs by J. J. Light and Steam) had some success in Europe Atlantis certainly were the more successful band;.Their first album sold well in the USA due to the blues-oriented vocals of Inga Rumpf, and a 1973 poll of the at that time important German music magazine in 1973 placed them among the top three in the category "most liked artist".

You can listen to the three albums Jeronimo made by themselves here; unfortunately I don't have a link to their co-production with CCR.





And here for comparison a link to another post of me in which I put links to the first two albums of Atlantis.

I honestly think that the site politics are highly questionable when you compare these two bands.
