Being of the inclusive nature, I vote yes on the strength of Bitches Brew alone.
...but I won't bully anyone about it...

If we are to include Miles and other Pre Prog music then their should be a Pre Prog or Prog roots section or catagory. Not so those albums are reviewed but maybe just a list of those artists that influenced those who did start Prog. I also think the time line for these groups or artists should stop at 1969. That should satisfy that urge to include this or that artist.
Just food for thought.

A couple of people have suggested this, perhaps it needs serious
consideration: What about an "Of Interest" section? Just a list of
artists that though not really prog display high levels of
musicianship/creativity within their chosen genres. Thoughts?

Yes or no? I think the dilemma in terms of submitting davis as an
applicant to the archives is this: although he released such a diverse
amount of fusion rock albums in the late 60s and 70s (not to mention
basically inventing the genre), its such a small part of his repotoire
because of the sheer amount of albums he released. Realistically, the
entire fusion category in the archives as we know it, with groups like
Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and groups that would be
influenced by his music, such as Soft Machine and later Brand X,
wouldn't even be here. I feel that some of his fusion releases are
absolutely essential in the library of a true prog rocker that his not
being in the archives is really a shame. Here are some of those albums
that i think make his need to be in here essential.
  Agharta and Panagea 1975
 On the Corner 1972
 Live-Evil 1970
 Bitches Brew 1969
 In a Silent Way 1969
An interesting solution would be to include all of Davis' works post-1967, as nothing he did before had any relation to rock.
