Wise up numpty*, calling people deaf or chauvinistic just because they don't share your views makes you an unequivocal a.r.s.e. Yes, that's a personal attack so hit the report button and see how much I recant my sincerity. * Futile to Google this really

Way more so than 'The Tubes' I would argue that 'Alice Cooper' should be here. Music is a subjective thing and it plays differently to the ears of different individuals. My son was upset about his failure to get Stratovarius included here and I do agree with him fully in that regard in that to my ears 'Stratovarius' are in no uncertain terms a progressive act. The thing is that they are that to my ears and in my own collection they sit proudly in my Prog section - others may not see it that way and I personally accept that. There's no point in fighting about music - just love it for the reasons that you love it.

The only "problem" with that eventualy additon of The Tubes as Prog Related act aswell, is that proggy-British chauvinism.

Watt conceived for Mr. Graves a feeling little short of liking. In particular Mr. Graves’s way of speaking did not displease Watt. Mr. Graves pronounces th charmingly. Turd and fart, he said, for third and fourth. Watt liked these venerable saxon words. And when Mr. Graves, drinking on the sunny step his afternoon stout, looked up with a twinkle in his old blue eye, and said, in mock deprecation, Tis only me turd or fart, then Watt felt he was perhaps prostituting himself to some purpose. (Samuel Beckett - Watt)

A very talented, entertaining and innovative parody band who initially assimilated some Proggy references but like every borrowed ingredient in their oeuvre, it's purpose was principally ironic, It's illustrative that these references were immediately abandoned as soon as Prog fell off the radar of the popular consciousnesses circa '76. Telling a fart gag about Samuel Beckett doesn't make you 'influenced by' Samuel Beckett now does it? Not Prog and I couldn't even make an argument for Prog Related.

Another personal attack.
