I can see Queen as a borderline case, but certainly not Deep Purple,
the Doors, Led Zeppelin, and whatever next someone will come up with.
Now, Kate Bush, however....

I'm thinking of a phrase that rhymes with clucking bell....
The Who - one of the all time great rock bands - yes. Talented writers, performers and at least one top class musician (Entwistle) - indubitably. Prog?
NAY, NAY AND THRICE NAY!
NEIN!
NON!
IE!
ROGER DALTREY IS ONE OF THE FEW GENUINE HARD NUTS IN ROCK AND ROLL AND IF YOU WENT UP TO HIM AND CALLED HIM A PROG SINGER YOU'D BE WAKING UP WITH A CROWD OF CONCERNED ONLOOKERS AROUND YOU.
SUBJECT CLOSED!

Yeah, I'd never really consider them full on prog.

I love the Who. Possible my favorite non-prog band. They definetely influenced the genre with A quick one while he's away, Tommy, and Quadrophenia. The Album Who are You is almost solid Prog. But they aren't solid prog, they just dabbled in the genre, like led zeppelin.

Ok..let me explain...EVERYBODY KNOWS that The Who are NOT prog.I'm
aware of that since they are one of my favourite bands..OK.Well, you
see, listed in this site are zillions of little one-shot
bands..ok?Well, they have surely the right to be in this site since
this is progARCHIVES..Ok well what I'm asking is:should the Who be
listed here ONLY REFERRING TO THEIR MORE PROGGISH ALBUMS since those
albums are perhaps more "great" than some from obscure one shot
bands?I'm NOT talking about "The who sings my generation" or "Live at
Leeds", I DON'T WANT THIS ALBUMS TO BE LISTED, but I'm talking about
"Tommy", "Quadrophenia"...
Listen to me..at the main page search for g-bands..you'll find an
Italian Symphonic Band called "I GIGANTI".I know them a little since
they're from Italy like me..Well they are in the same situation than
THE WHO.The were by NO MEAN a prog group..The made pop throughout the
years...around the early '70s they jumped on the prog-wagon, made 1(!)
album and jumped off right away.Well they're listed...I hope to have
been a little clearer..
So when I ask "The Who:prog or not"..i mean "The Who:PROGARCHIVES or not?"
Everybody is free to say what he thinks, but now the question is clearer..
Thanks

Some bands are beyond category. The Who is a ROCK band.

why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door?
