I think I attempted to add these very auspicious recording artists a couple of years back but I was shot down in flames. So this is my second try. What is more prog than their collosal hit Stonehenge? There's complexity, deep lyrics and the incredible stage performance and props.

I'll even take the time to write the bio which will occupy 10 pages in odrer to document there prolific career. I will even try to get an exclusive PA interview with Nigel Tufnel and David St, Hubbins providing they are on speaking terms with one another.

Cast your votes and I will get the ball rolling on this mammoth project.

I actually do believe that Spinal Tap could fit Prog Related.  I'm biased though as a big Tapper.

I wanted to post a youtube vid of Clam Caravan off Break Like the Wind, but it seems unavailable.

And maybe Dream theater was infleunced by Spinal Tap (note the intros in particular)

Stonehenge is a really good song though. No, seriously !!

But I think I have to shoot you out of the skies for this suggestion, Vibrationbaby. Stick to blueberries and porridge.

MY OBJECTIONS HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stick to whatever you are eating and get this ten page bio over to us. That would be the read of the year.    Nigel and David was last spotted in a TV studio together, sitting on a sofa on a morning breakast evening meal TV programme.

Did they not have a Jazz-Rock period which might just get them in?  The Bio would need a huge section just for the number of Drummers and the various ways they departed.  I would vote for them. 
Help me I'm falling!

I saw them live in 91 and the Stonehenge portion was very proggy.  Good concert.

Not if you are eating corn flakes in a bowl of vodka. Then the inclusion of Spinal Tap in PA becomes far more important than life itselves.

Aw c'mon Bob. I have already started writing the bio I'm on page 7 already Big smile. I mean there are some band inclusions  here that are ridiculously  out of place. For example, when Split Enz were added I couldn't even believe it. I kow Tap are  a parody band but they parody prog  a lot and Stone Henge and Rock and Roll Creationn aren't really  bad songs and they do have  a few actual albums. Some guys are even for it. I got 16 why nots on the poll on the original thread plus
I would have liked to hear that prog epic they were going to write about Jack the Ripper.

Bad choice. I mean Corn ... what ... fakes or flakes. You need a better company to vodka - potatoes, meat, fish, mushrooms (not the ones which extend your boundaries though) etc. And a friend to talk with.

Please let us have a read before the evaluation team, if still alive after the read (place your bets now), proceed with the matter.

Why do I think that I've been shot down again. Cry  I'll send it when it's done. But so far it's pretty silly I'm warning you. I have even gone through just about every interview I could find. Best one was with Nigel when he complains that most of the time they could find the stage but Marty DeBergi had to use footage shot on one of the rare occasion when they couldn't find the stage.
I remember an interview with Ozzy commenting on Spinal Tap. He didn't find it funny because most of the things in This Is Spinal Tap really happened to him including not being able to find the stage on more than on occasion!

you mean Saucy Jack

..and BTW;  if you couldn't believe Split Enz were added then you either have not heard Mental Notes or you have an incredibly narrow view of Prog (which doesn't seem to be the case)
