I think it is fair to say that Iron Maiden are the best heavy metal band in the world, bar none. Trying to get them into prog archives is understandable but was always doomed to failure. But considering other bands/solo artists that have been included here, Maiden were unlucky. As for Metallica, they are just thrash metal, and from what i've heard of them, nowhere near prog.
But hey that's just me.

Why are they "unlucky"? I bet Maiden's happy. Like I said earlier, they don't want to be rubbing shoulders with Phil Collins and members of Ambrosia and Styx. They're happy in their own neighborhood. They want to rock their own neighborhood.
Why do some people need the prog archives to "beknight" these metal bands with the prog archives seal of approval? Why are you trying to suck up to the effete elitists who spend the day listening to Soft Machine and Gentle Giant?
Don't burden Maiden with this stuff. They don't want to go to school.

I was using unlucky, because, compared to some of the stuff on here, not only are Iron Maiden more prog, but so are the New Seekers.

There it came! A truth at last.
It's OK to propose bands to be added here, but how can the value of having any band added (or not added) here be so great, that one shoul lose his/her temper for that issue?

The main reason why maiden shoudl be included is because other prog-metal fans would perhaps be inclined to hear the music and hear where their favorite prog metal fans got the inspiration from

IM and Metallica are possible PA canadidates.
It like X Factor, Simon Cowell chooses who stay and who goes.

I am sure there are plenty of heavy metal sites out there, so why on earth are you sticking to the progarchives with these nonsense suggestions?

Why on earth are you sticking to the progarchives if you are just here to be a bitch about other opinions
