If this is a genuine proposal then you need to say why you think he fits in prog-related.

Also, a quick search will reveal at least 4 previous proposals. If you have a look at these threads you will find out the status of these proposals and what the general opinion was.

The general opinion in most cases seems to be a resounding NO.

As much as they may be progrelated, those other four threads do sum it up.

How did Meat Loaf influence Prog, and what makes him "exceptional"?

He didn't influence it, but he was influenced by it.

That's what I thought, but the PR expectations were changed some time ago to must be influenced by and must be an influence on Prog (before that it was or rather than and).  But now the definition (guidelines) has changed again, and it doesn't  look like like they must meet the influence on criterion anymore to be considered (though it's still mentioned, in fact in the number one place). Meat Loaf did not meet former standards for entry, as I see it, so maybe things will be different now.

Prog-Related? By the current PA standards he could have a place in Crossover!

to me Alice Cooper fits better then Meat Loaf in Progarchives, he was one of the first to bring theatrics on stage and they were influenced and did also influence prog bands (Genesis hinihint, stage show, costumes)

I've supported Alice Cooper, and continue to for Prog Related.

Regarding Abba, though I would not support the addition for Prog Related, it is not altogether without merits, I think.  To me, this is a proggy song:



And, incidentally, not to make a case for Abba, I find some similarities with Abba to Mellow Candle which is in Prog Folk (two female singers of course).

My basic position is that (at least almost) everything suggested has a degree of merit (the degree can depend upon the listeners' expectations and associations, knowledge of the music and familiarity with other similar acts etc.)

ABBA is one of the best pop bands, cleverly made pop, by skilled musicians (especially the keyboardist) and the girls did amazing vocals. 

A lot of 70s musicians had great, complex arrangements but that don't make them prog. Even French artist Joe Dassin (Le jardin de Luxembourg is quite an epic LOL).

Look it is really simple..... Should Mr. Steinman's band fit any revised definitions of prog related, then please someone get your proposal justification " act" together and submit to Easy Livin to take it to the admin team. But to just say the band should be here is as good as saying " There will be weather tomorrow"Disapprove
