Ekseption do jazz up the classics. I personally do not what category they are placed under, I just enjoy the music-->the most important thing.

Sky should not be moved though. That's like saying they're the Prog equivelant (sp?) of Iron Maiden. I have every Sky album and am a huge fan (who else would own all the albums?), so I think I know where they should goTongue.

That last statement may seem a bit contradictory, BUT I feel that you can't place a Prog band (and Sky are a classical rock jazz pop hybrid Prog supergroup-a bit like Ekseption, although totally different, if that makes any sense) in a non-Prog category.

Because they have long sampled the classical music repertoire, doesn't make them 'symphonic prog'- a term which has been long  used for a band's use of the symphonic structure in arrangement. The point I made with 'brass rock' was that Ekseption were jazzing up the classics.


Well said - a mistake I often see people make.

I know; I had a big azrgument with Ivān who kicked them out of symphonic, claiming there was too much jazz.
 
I cannot think of Trace or Ekseption being anywhere elsethan symphonic since 85% of their stuff was either re-working or stealing the cklassical remaster. Focus was sometimes also awfully close to reworking the classics.
 
Same with Sky, but I believe Sky should be in prog-related.

rather than un-sheath our sword
