One of the main reasons to support an addition of Random Deeds and Combination Head on Prog Archives is that lots of progrock friends who listen to their music at my home are very pleased and sometimes delighted about these bands. In my opinion both bands match with the new category Crossover Prog, perhaps the team will trust my judgement and let me work on an addition, it's just a proposal because I have the idea that the categorizing of the bands take so much time that it harms the addition policy. One more example: last month I started to contact fellow collabroators and team members about an addition of Cozy Powell, in the end I was waiting and waiting ... no final reactions so I have stopped to put energy in adding Cozy Powell.

If I remember correctly, Random Deeds was a band we couldn't find any samples off, so we decided, even with your good review guiding us consistently, to not accept the band until we get to musical sources.

Combination Head has two votes of rejection for Art Rock (you can see here: http://ratingfreak.com/home/progarchives/ar_chart.xhtml), it's pretty much a sealed case for AR. I know Symphonic Team also doesn't appreciate that it's style would fit the Symphonic genre, so it's a very edgy thing...Confused

Hansson & Karlsson will be added by Micky when he gets a new Internet connection, which should be very soon. He was about to add them when I was still in the USA with him, but then he got sidetracked by more serious matters. I'll remind him to go ahead with the addition when his connection is operative.

OK, perhaps it's not the right place but I would like to support Ozzy Tom his post by saying: "a big hand for the Hammond B3 drenched sound of  Hansson & Karlsson, Odyssey and Brian Auger & The Trinity Clap !

The Rock: Golden Earring from Holland? Well, as a Dutchman I grew up with this awesome four piece band and I can say that the progrock aficionados will be pleased with their album Swith featuring Robert-Jan Stips (Supersister), highly recommended!

David Bowie was never part of the Progressive Rock movement and his music never resembled anything associated with prog.

Even If he WAS influenced, however much, by progressive rock, influence of a music does not qualify another music to be put in the same category.

David Bowie should not be included, his music may be great whatever your opinion is, but he is not and never was a progressive rock musician.

I'd like to add something: if you are really keen to see a band or artist added to our DB, the best way to go about it is to contact a Special Collaborator, preferably someone who is part of a specialist genre team, and submit some samples to them, as well as all the relevant information you have about the act in question. Since only SCs can add bands, this is generally the fastest option available. Of course, in order to do so, you should have an idea of which subgenre the band belongs to, though this is not mandatory. Just remember that genre teams have often large backlogs of bands to add, and everyone here is working on a strictly voluntary basis.

Patto have been discussed in the past, but I don't know how the whole thing ended - I remember some people entertaining doubts about how really prog they were.

However, you should remember that using capitals is usually considered bad form on the Web, since it is akin to shouting.

4.Sixty Nine (Germany)
5.Attila (USA)
6.Hardin & York (USA)
7.Twogether (Germany)
8.Bodkin (England)
9.Food Brain (Japan)
10.Odyssey (USA)
11.Pesky Gee (England)
12.Weed (England-Germany)
13.Tyburn Tall (Germany)
14.8 Days in April (also known as solo Kravetz's project)(Germany)
15.Spectrum (Australia)
16.Spooky Tooth (England)
17.Freedom's Children (Republic of South Africa)
18.Brian Auger & The Trinity (England)
19.Harsh Reality (England)
