The funny thing is that despite is that despite Prog Archives has no new genres being added, no extra tags, no further experiments, we have grown enough to be the N° 1 Prog Resource in the net.
Just type Progressive Rock in Google or Yahoo and guess which site appears in the top?

Ok, the most popular website is always the best ... Pardon me, but the archives seem more and more like this guy to me:

I agree with some forum members that we don't need descriptive flags such are "dark", "melodic", "atmospheric" or whatever, but what about gothic/industrial genre? I'm not big fan of that genre, but some bands are melting this genre with prog. For example Einsturzende Neubauten and Nurse With Wound (both not included on PA) are very prog but they don't fit into RIO or psychedelic subgenre...

It would hardly make any sense as genre.

Well, for me it's the best site and will continue being tha best as long as some of us work hard to try to make it the best instead of complaining against everything and finding defects where there are not.

I have nothing but the deepest respect for the hard working members of Progarchives.com ... it is indeed the #1 prog resource on the internet - thanks to the members and collabs. But that doesn't mean that I have to agree with everything that happens here. And the collabs don't need to take my complaints personally ... whenever I'm talking about "the archives", I'm talking about the *owners* ... they're making the big decisions. Some of them are offensive to me - two obvious examples would be the advertising and the illegitimate audio samples. But neither of these problems are related to the collabs in any way. BTW: I greatly reduced my complaining in the last few months ... I am only joining discussions about tagging because I'm interested in the subject, I'm not aggressively starting such debates anymore.
