Charly García for prog-related

Good luck. From what I've heard, for an act to be considered for Prog Related, it has to be evaluated for and rejected from a "true prog" sub-genre first.

BIO

Charly García, born Carlos Alberto García Moreno on October 23, 1951, started playing piano as a precocious kid, and in 1972 he made his first profesional recording contributing to the debut album of Raúl Porchetto, entitled Cristo Rock.
Along with Nito Mestre, Carlos Piegari, Beto Rodríguez and the Belia brothers, he founded Sui Generis, which became later a duo that released three albums: Vida (1972), Confesiones de Invierno (1973) and Pequeñas Anécdotas Sobre las Instituciones.
After the break-up of Sui generis in 1975, and the PorSuiGieco album in 1976, he initiated La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros, and they released two albums, selftitled the first, and another one called Películas in 1977. Between 1978 and 1982, Charly stayed with Serú Girán, releasing four studio albums: Serú Girán (1978), La Grasa de las Capitales (1979), Bicicleta (1980), and Peperina (1981).
In 1982 he launched his solo career with Yendo de la Cama al Living, followed by Clics Modernos (1983). Their third probably remains as his best-loved recording, Piano Bar (1984).
As a duo with Pedro Aznar, they released Tango in 1986, and in 1987 Charly released his fourth solo studio álbum, Parte de la Religión, closing his classic initial run.
In 1989 he released his own personal favorite, Cómo Conseguir Chicas. This and the next one, Filosofía Barata y Zapatos de Goma (1990), are usually considered as transitional albums, conducting to a more avant-garde inflected production, initiated after a second instalment with the García-Aznar duo, Tango 4 (1991), and a second run with Serú Girán, which produced a new studio album in 1992.
On July 1994 he releases a rock opera, La Hija de la Lágrima.
In 1996 he released Say no More, usually considered as his most experimental work.
In 1998, El aguante.
In 2000, Charly y Nito Mestre reunited as Sui Géneris, and they put out a new studio album, Sinfonías para adolescentes.
After that came:
• 1999: Demasiado ego
• 2002: Influencia
• 2003: Rock and Roll YO
• 2010: Kill gil
• 2017: Rándom
• 2024: La lógica del escorpión
