I've never heard the band, so can't comment on whether they should be on the site or not, but looking at ProgFreak they don't appear to have been voted on by a sub group who uses it

I think this thread has come to a consensus

i think keep cog, ditch CoF

Ahh, makes sense now, I thot u's were all going mental their for a second

what is xover?

Really?

As the Crossover team doesn't agree with you on that one, would you care to explain in further detail how the compositional structure, the crafting of arrangements and the instrumental provess by the band makes them suitable for the genre?

Or if there are other factors in terms of instrumentation or experimental attitudes the core members of the xover team have failed to notice?

Please elaborate, in as much detail as possible. We're anxiously awaiting your extended knowledge and detailed analysis of this particular case.

genesis is a classic prog band, while Cog isn't there are many (MANY) bands that have prog influence, but aren't on the site. Cog (in my opinion) is more alternative than prog. alternative in some ways had prog influence, but often not enough to get on here

How come some prog related bands like Muse & Metallica are one here, and aren't actually prog, but a genuine prog band like Cog are rejected. This website has some very corrupt politics

you shouldn't say that - unfortunately you're misinformed and don't know how we are working
when a band is rejected by a team it's the result of a democratic process based on votes.

I didn't agree that Cog were rejected, but I have to accept this decision .. and I would be a fool to claim that this is corrupt ... and nobody can prevent me from listening to Cog whenever I want ... simple as that
