Floyd where originally called the Abdabs ... damn that's almost an anagram of Abba. And they've never been seen in the same room at the same time .... I think we could be on to something.

A quadruple face palm from Pink Floyd! = Priceless

the 4 persons who entered the lines of the great RPP please step forward , i need to know to include you in the list

ABBA?

Okay, done with Medula. It's not 100% quintessential prog, but definitely prog enough for crossover, which includes bands/artists like Supertramp, APP, Tori Amos and used to include Steely Dan (who are still in a prog genre anyway - JR/F).   If this is obvious to me after listening to it just once, then I am sorry,  but I don't see the basis for so much expression of dismay, other than that maybe these people remember Bjork as the Icelandic pop queen (and having taken a stand would not now like to admit they got it wrong).  Since I have never heard any of her other albums, I can't say if she has any rock in her material, but if she doesn't or if Medula was the most important reason to add her, I do have a minor quibble that an artist who has nothing to do with rock has been added. Not that I personally disagree with that because I have never considered the rock part of it as all that important but artists have been rejected in the past for, among other reasons, not being rock enough. So is it because, as Exitthelemming suggested, prog is now considered synonymous with experimental and innovative (the problem in that case being that something that doesn't 'sound' out there but is so in substance may get an unfair evaluation)?
