I know what i said was ignorant but i would be willing to give them another try. From what i have heard (2-3 song) I didnt like it at all, infact it gave me a strange feeling in my stomach like i was going to vomit.

Im sorry flame me all you want but this is just my opinion

I guess you've never had the pleasure of hearing their many 8+ minute songs, with extended solos, and much wonderful music theory applied far beyond powerchords?

Ignorance is only bliss for the ignorant, it's an annoyance for the rest.

That is the thing that I do not like about this particular website...a moderator can come in and delete stuff they don't consider prog, regardless of what another member might think. I have not tried looking specifically for Coheed & Cambria here, but if their presence was deleted due to the "personal taste of someone in charge" that is a shame, and does a disservice to the members (customers) of this site that may want info. You may dislike the band, but don't deny others the pleasure of reading about them.

And yes, I have a C & C disk. I have heard bad reviews on several prog sites, so I knew I had to check them out for myself. Is it prog? About as much as Porcupine Tree is, perhaps moreso. It will continue to sit proudly on my shelf between my Clearlight and Colosseum discs.

I'm totally with you on this one, Man Overboard. I recently listened to both their albums again and the more you disect them, the more prog they are. I'm sure the new album will help push them over the edge into the full-on world of prog.

also, coheed being prog or not should be based on the music they play and not whether you like them or not. disliking them is no reason to exclude them.

NEWS FLASH: Taste is subjective. Claudio's vocals are amazing, and the music is full of depth.

Someone could as easily say Frank Zappa sounds bad, but does that make him not prog?

Ah, I understand what you meant now.

I still believe they're prog... interesting time changes, complex intervals, a concept that spans multiple albums, innovative playing, crazy structures... what's not to love?

I didn't say he should have asked, I said he could have, because he's complaining about how much work it was... for nothing. I think most people knew that Coheed and Cambria were controversial (they have been discussed before, many people AGAINST adding). So if you ask first, you save yourself the trouble when they are not acceoted, that's all.

(By the way: Max said Neutral Milk Hotel will be deleted soon)

In fact, I was listenin' to a Co&Ca live EP, and during an extended instrumental improv, Claudio said "This is what the British would call prog-rock w**kery!" to cheers.
