It was a hard decision indeed for us.... Personally, I think they would've deserved inclusion, but on the other hand I understand why the Admins decided not to give them the green light. Anyway, we'd be very happy if you kept on bringing your suggestions to our attention - I know there are still lots of obscure Seventies bands that haven't been included in our database yet, and we appreciate all the help we can get. Especially from a fellow citizen of Northern Virginia!

Believe me, it was a very hard decision... the hardest one I've had to help make in my time within the HP team, so I'd just like to thank you AP, for the magnanimous manner with which you've accepted the decision... 
we wish a few more were like you...
and anyway look on the bright side, at least you have had GoodThunder added within the past week...

After due consideration, Angel have been Rejected for Prog Related.
Sorry for the disappointment AP, the sincerity and eloquence of your proposal are appreciated.

In response to a direct request, Angel will be considered for addition as Prog Related by the admin team.

Sorry, Dean, I always get things mixed up  ... Anyway, I think there might be someone interested in sponsoring Angel for inclusion in PR.

Approaching the Admin's directly is not the way. Only a Special Collaborator willing to make the addition can suggest a band for Prog Related... therefore non-SCs wishing to have a band suggested for that category must convince a SC to sponsor the addition on their behalf.

It may be that some other Collab will bring the issue to the Admin Team (who are in charge of Prog-Related), or you can try contacting them directly by PM. As Jared already stated in much better words, we of the Heavy Prog team thought it was best not to add them in our sub. However, we would be happy if they were eventually accepted for Prog-Related.

Well thanks for the interest Micky, I'm surprised Angel got this far. I still believe they should be on PA but at the same time I understand why Angel is easy to turn away, they did after all release 4 glam rock/AOR albums (last 3 albums,77-79, and their reunion album) and only have 2 albums (plus 2 songs from their 3 album) to defend the prog they DID play.
But again thanks for the interest and defense I got from other members.
So how would I go about suggesting Angel for the Prog-Related people?

Micky, with your marriage a prog woman (Raff) i tell you this that happen to me very years ago:
"One day i was with a friend (padawan for Jedi terms ) and i remember to teach prog music, that was in the early 90's, then on a saturday we went to El Tianguis de El Chopo, a famous street market that sell, and trade cd's albums and everything being related to rock and to prog rock, we were walking through the market and my friend told me that behind of us there was a little lady that was asking for Uriah Heep albums or cd's, even cassettes, then i turn around to see who is she and when i see she looks like a princess, wow... i can believe it... a very beautiful girl asking for f+++ng Uriah Heep records!!!!!!
I try to reach at her but like the Golden Earring song: She was Shallowed by the road... and i never see again"
She looks like (more or less):
Alberto

Hi American Progster and welcome.
Sorry but I have to be honest in this case, even if it sounds harsh.
Angel is a Glam - Hard Rock band with IMHO absolutely no connection with Prog or even Prog Related, sounds like The Sweet meets Europe.
They don't have a chance in Symphonic and if I'm not wrong, not even in Prog Related.
Had to be absolutely honest.
