Not prog.

Neither is Coldplay.

System of a Down deserves the next slot on this site before ANY of those bands, and SOAD has already been rejected twice.

Hello,
 
I'd like to second Don Quito's suggestion of adding KTU to the archives. I don't own any of their material myself, but I have heard an excerpt from their latest -and I think only- album, 8 Armed Monkeys, on the radio, and the music that this band plays certainly sounds challenging and innovative. As I looked them up on the web, I also came across a review of the album, which I feel is greatly enlightning.
 
 
Whether it be added to the site or not, I hope I'll be taking some of my time to investigate more of this intriguing band. Clap

10cc will be included in the Archives, as they passed a collaborators vote. As you should know.
 
Honestly didn't knew, even when I voted, because was busy in other things from the team a long time, but itdoesn't affect my opinion, accept it but don't share it.
 
BTW: It was accepted by two votes, but when I left it the no option was winning.
 
What was incredible was that after a page of answers nobody knew that Greenslade was already in Prog Archives and kept talking about other things, but until now I didn't even mentioned it. LOL
 
Iván
Yes it was a narrow victory thats true, and until someone adds them, they won't be here for a while yet!Tongue
 
I also noticed thar someone mentioned Greenslade were here already, so thats why I said nothing.Wink

Not talking about you Dragon Phoenix, your answer came after two others. And sincerely didn't saw it when I chacked the replies.

I feel the complete opposite....I think Rhapsody is an Extremely Progressive Band...But thats just me.
Then again I find alot of Power Metal bands to be Progressive.



If any metal band needs to be on this site that isn't, it would be Iron Maiden way before Rhapsody.  They pretty much define melodic metal where bands such as Rhapsody and Helloween would probably not exist.
 
I am in complete agreement, but I think Iron Maiden were rejected by the Admissions Team. BTW, I loathe Rhapsody - they're one of the cheesiest acts I've ever heard in my life. Maiden, on the other hand, are pure class, and I'm looking forward to seeing them again in December.

About David Bowie: His most prog albums are "Low", "Heroes" and most of all "Lodger". His excursion with the band Tin Machine was prog too, in my opinion.

I have been looking through the PA Artist List and I am wondering why the following artist aren't considered Progressive?
 
 
Wouldn't the following artist have the sub genre: Some of them hardly IMHO, and others maybe Prog Related at the most.
 
  • David Bowie - Art Rock Maybe Prog related, forcing a bit the situation he could reach Proto Prog, but I doubt it.
  • Planet P - Art Rock: Probably Prog Related because of their Space Rock remote relation, but nothing more
  • 7th Wave - Prog Related: Not even Prog related, they were a techno Pop band a la OMD
  • Greenslade - symphonic:There we agree at last, but for your info THEY ARE ALREADY IN PROG ARCHIVES AND IN SYMPHONIC. 
  • Jefferson Airplane - Psychedelic: Maybe, even when very rarely USA Psyche bands reach PA.
  • Magna Carta - Symphonic: I see Magna Carta as a watered version of The Strawbs without Wakeman, maybe Prog Related.
  • Angelzoom - Neo: Oh please man Angelzopom???? Despite their cellos and operatic voice of Claudia Uhle, is closer to New Age than to Prog, lets wait and see if she releases more material. But now????  For God's sake, they play Depeche Mode and Linkin Park covers!!!!!
  • Armeggedon - Proto Prog: Are you talking abour Armageddon? In this case, you have two choices the German underground band more linked with hard Rock and the UK version formed by an ex-Renaissance member that will be Prog Related at the most.
  • 10cc - prog related: There's an open Poll in http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21891&KW=10cc and honestly they aren't doing well there, IMO weird pop
 
Poll Question: 10cc are Prog?
Poll Choice Votes Poll Statistics
4 [33.33%]
8 [66.67%]
 
Sorry but that's my honest opinion
 
Iván

And prog & good aren't the same, many bands can be excellent but not prog, Queen is an example of that IMO

PA should include KTU on the list, which includes Trey Gunn, Pat Mastelotto, Kosminen and Pohjonen, from King Crimson and Kluster.
 
Search and listen to the album 8 Armed Monkey (Live), which combines a mix of avant-garde, world beat, and jazz, and it can fit perfectly under the category RIO/Avant-Prog or Prog Related if neccesary.

COLDPLAY
 
They sort of sound proggy to me, especaially after listening to their latest CD, X&Y. The song "Clocks" from their last album, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, hinted progressive to me with it's piano riff.
I've seen them in concert and they were great. Drummer Will Champion ( who also sings and plays keyboard) reminds me of a younger Phil Collins. Whether you like them or not, their style seems to be heading (or already is) in the Art or Prog direction. Agree? Disagree?
