I think there is somewhere guidelines as to what could be considered as prog for the site, when not already here...and I think I remember that new artists were exempt from some of the qualifiers of existing bands/artists? Not sure if those are still being followed, either.....Maybe one of the kind admins can provide a link here.

I guess she's a similar case as Sandy Denny - much loved indeed (and not only for her work with Strawbs, FC, Fotheringay) but not sufficiently under our scope.
I've been criticised for not adding any artists to Prog Archives - even though I'd barely been here one month at the time - but every artist I've suggested for inclusion so far has been rejected.
To be honest, I can't see how Annie Haslam could possibly NOT be included in ProgArchives. To call a versatile classically-trained singer such as Annie Haslam an MOR artist, or middle-of-the-road Pop artist, is a bit of an insult to her.

I'm afraid you're singing to the choir Paul. If I posted all the MOR songs from Blessing In Disguise, Dawn Of Ananda, Woman Transcending and the covers of Nature Boy and Going Home from Annie In Wonderland, those songs would paint Annie as quite the MOR artist.

I included Annie's concert from Philadelphia to show that her roots lie in Progressive Rock. Her first solo album "Annie in Wonderland" was quite progressive too.
I was surprised when I discovered she wasn't already included in ProgArchives. I suppose if Annie was to be included then she'd be listed as either Prog-Related, Crossover Prog or Symphonic Prog. A couple of her albums are classical Symphonic Rock and some are regular Pop/Rock. Here's a solo Annie Haslam concert from Philadelphia (where she now lives) back in 1997.

why should she be here? Just because she is in Renaissance? What genre? Give us some links to prove she does some sort of progressive rock (I for one have not heard her solo stuff).
I noticed that Annie Haslam of Renaissance doesn't have a separate entry in ProgArchives, even though she's had a long and illustrious solo career. Is there any chance of her being included?
