Ah, but if we start calculating how many degrees of separation between Prog rock, prog related and prog related related are acceptable for a band to be included in the PA database...

C'mon Dean lighten up.  I'll do it. Believe me I'll do it. Then I'll try and get an exclusive interview. I've done interviews for the site before when time permitted.

You can't. Believe me you can't. When wings are clipped the bird does not fly.

OK I'll make a deal with you I'll PM the bio to you and tell me what you think and then you can mull it over with the rest of the brass. If it doesn't fly then my wings are clipped............ for now.

Ah no. Your wings have actually been clipped - you cannot add them even if you wanted to.
As to your proposal - nope, don't waste your time on something that isn't going to happen. We don't work like that. If Spinal Tap were to be evaluated for Prog Related then they would have to be proposed to the Admin team by a Special Collaborator, we would then decide yay or nay and our decision would be final. [And to save time and energy I can state now the answer will be "nay"]

Dean is playing GOD. Mr Stickler for the rule books. I made another noble attempt to cut through the PA red tape and rub the fur of the cat the wrong way. It's as if I was trying to get Celine or Justin Beiber included.
Well I'm grounded. Flying a desk. For now. Spinal Tap are too "contervershial" for PA. Here they are at the Royal Albert Hall with amps turned to ELEVEN. The Majesty of Rock, The Mystery of Roll...........

If this inclusion was voted by a poll opened to the forumites, I'm kinda sure a huge majority would vote "No", even if gifted with the sense of humor.
After all, Spinal Tap is just a comedy act, nothing serious. Otherwise, we should also think about including the cantina band from Star Wars...

Well, I've always felt the cantina band from Star Wars were progressive. Impeccable space rock!

Hum, I always thought they were doing some kind of Jazz Fusion, but I haven't listened to them in a while. What album would you recommend?

There is no fusion in the pop jazz Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes play in the Star Wars cantina, it's just had some electronic treatments, nothing special.
