Of course, my favorite mislabeling of a prog band was when Jethro Tull got a Grammy for "Best Heavy Metal Album."

Any one was expecting Metallica wins it, hehehe. Next time as they've won the Grammy, Lars Ulrich said: "Thanks to Jethro Tull not releasing an album this year". One of the greatest moments in music-television.

"Yes" to Hard Rock - "no" to Prog Rock. Or at least that's what VH1 says...

If I recall, the opening riff to Owner of a Lonely Heart is about the only think on that album that IS Hard Rock.

Yeah, that really doesn't work. What was VH1's reasoning for them being on the list?

There's little difference between hard rock and cheese rock. But it is clear where this album stands.......camenbert.
still.......good album.

Speaking of Yes, They are not mentioned on a promo for the Midnight Special shows done in the 70's, early 80's.
Eddie Money is, Olivia Newton John is, AC/Dc is, Ted Nugent is, Jim Croce is etc.
Heck, if Floyd or Tull had played (maybe they did) they would have been ignored as well.
