Apples and Airplanes - both respect gravity and neither can be used to milk a goat.

A sheep is not a creature of the air.  Beware of flying apples though.

So, on a tangent, if you like meatloaf, what do you like in your meatloaf?

So we've had MeatLoaf, Cooper, and Talking Heads brought up.  I personally don't mind the whole "if X is here Y should be" if defended further.  Of course, when it comes to these three artists, one I know quite well, the other two primarily by name.  I'd been advocating for TH inclusion for a while and am glad to see them here.

In the end, if you are going to open a thread about an addition, make your case when you do or don't open a thread.  Not directed at anyone in particular.  I see Lynx opened a thread and just buggered off so far.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

OK, I'm not going to insult whoever made the stuff you had, but if you go non-traditional, it can be really good.  Your standard cafeteria style is guaranteed to be horrid.  Unless you add the sweat of a big fat guy... LOL

Standard cafeteria stuff = disgusting Thumbs Down

However, the more progressive cooking styles should be in symphonic. Cool

In first place I must say I'm probably the biggest Meat Loaf fan here, so my opinion isn't tainted by prejudice and/or dislike, so being absolutely familiar with their music, will give my arguments against the inclusion with absolute confidence of impartiality:

1.- The Meat Loaf & Steinman collaboration must be credited as the pioneers of Wagnerian Rock, but not all Rock directly or indirectly related with Classical music is Prog.

2.- Meat Loaf & Steinman's music is much more elaborate and complex than most mainstream and even many Prog musicians, but in no way complexity is a synonym of Prog.

3.- Meat Loaf music is clearly related with Rock Opera, but again, Rock Opera or theatrics are not exclusive of Prog.

As a fact (well IMHO) Meatloaf is an excellent example of melodic Hard Rock with some Metal connections and an elaborate structure but in no way Prog, even when I would be glad to review the music of the band/artist, his inclusion would imply the addition of other artists as Yngwie Malmsteen and that would be misleading

That's interesting to hear that you are a Meat Loaf fan.  You clearly know your Meat Loaf.  It should probably be put in the oven now. Tongue

Good synthesys of what I think, too. Clap
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
