Any band that released a concept album or made a song longer than 10 minutes was inspired by The Who. How many prog bands have made concept albums or songs longer than 10 minutes? Exactly. The Who in a influenced the genre itself, meaning every prog band. It may sound radical, but you in a way have to admit its true.

oh please the who was not the first to release something above 10 minutes nor was they the first to release a concept album...i would only belivied that the who had an influence on some bands if they said that the who was influencal to their music becoming prog...the only ones that i have seen that have been influenced by the who  have been rock bands and punk bands

Name one rock group before The Who that made a 10 minute long suite. I challenge you. If you can I will be suprised. Sure, there were other genres that made long songs, but a rock band? As far as concept albums, the first concept album was Pet Sounds (The Beach Boys). What the Who did was bring the concept albums to new levels with storytelling and form. Before The Who concept albums just albums with ideas like linking songs (Pet Sounds) and posing as a fake band (Seargent Peppers). The Who changed this.

But I think these proto-prog/prog related artists should not have an open feature to add albums. First the admis / collaboratots should get a consensus, that which albums of them are prog related, add those and block the others. This would keep the site more on focus, and the non-prog items of those bands wouldn't take the resources of the site upkeepers.

I agree with you on that. The Who's first album is certainly not progressive. Neither is Live at Leeds (excellent album by the way) or the Who By Numbers (underrated gem). But Tommy, Quadrophenia, Who's Next, and Who Are You are certainly progressive. A Quick One also has the tiltle track, which qualifies that album as progressive.

Shouldn't we classify a band by its music, not where it is in a store? They made progressive music. Just face it. They may not be classifyed as a progressive band, but they could be. There records are popular and they wouldn't sell as well if they were in the progressive section. Seriously, you need to be more liberal in what you define as progressive.

They would be categorized under Prog Related if they even get on here.

Hard to say....'Quadrophenia' is without doubt a masterpiece concept album, so THAT album alone should be in here.
