Bjork - Everything is prog Tori Amos - Everything is rock Metallica - Nothing else matters Hang on a second, here. It's not THIS SITE that has gone out of their wayt to include these artistes you cite. It is some fanboys using their colllabs status and abusing their prerogatives and privileges that incluuded these against 90% of the other collabs' better judgment (and dare I say the Admins' as well) to fit their own private agenda and include anything they like as prog,  thus making Xover a joke and become some kind of prog-related-related-related-related farce I don't know Bjork well nor Metallica, but any controversial addition has to get approval from the higher ups.  I will only advocate for or oppose additions if I know their music well and I'll defend the addition of Tori to the end.  I don't see this site as being spuriously inclusive.  I do however see some people being seriously narrow minded.  As long as you have people of varying opinions and tastes there isn't a line you draw, it's more of weird twisty curve.  There's a huge gray area and that is the nature of music.  Deal with it. No I wont have that! Whats wrong with Metallica!

As far as I'm concerned, . . . And Justice for All is a progressive metal album. Metallica is only on prog-related because, apart from that album, nothing else they put out os progressive, with the exception of some proggish-sounding parts in Death Magnetic.

no OF COURSE HE IS NOT PROG GUYS

Ahhh Happy New Year to you guys too  .

I don't see how Buckethead can't be added. He has eclectic discography with lots of prog, avant-garde, minimalism... it's completely ridiculous that we don't have him here.

^Oh wow, I didn't even notice that.

As soon as he is added we can end this controversy.  I may have stated this earlier, but judging from the nine self titled CDs I have, not to mention at least a couple of CD that aren't self titled, I'd really like to see him added to Eclectic.  But if he's on here only for being on Big Eyeball In The Sky and Octave Of The Holy Innocents that's OK.  All the same, I find his absence as a self titled artist a grave omission.

By the way, Marty my man, what are you acquainted with?  Just curious.

OK, I'll give it a shot. Need to word process first.  Will do it in the form of a bio.

If Brian is willing to officially propose the Buckethead to admin team, I'll do my best to back him up for prog-related inclusion.

That being said, I'm not fully comfortable with Buckethead in Eclectic, but I believe he deserves a spot on ProgArchives.

He definately should. I don't even like his music, but he definately should.
