Yeah, that era is lovely, though not sure if I would consider it Jazz Rock "with Prog credentials"

OK for Tim Buckley ('starsailor' is a psychedelic folk album (or should I say acid-folk ?), and psychedlic is considered prog here).

But John Martyn ?

Just because you like a band, it doesn't mean it has to be prog...


I believe people here are not so shallow to believe an artist is prog just because they like it.
I love Neil Young, he certainly influenced a number of prog artists (Yes included) but I don't believe he should be here.
I don't like Nick Drake and I think he perhaps deserves a place here.

Oh, and John Martyn is already here.Tongue

steely dan, jazz-pop is here. So having Joni Mitchell, playing stuff in the same league, would not be a surprise.

Joni Mitchell's live album Shadows and Light, recorded with Jaco and Metheny among others, has often being discussed for addition, and would be here if a 'prog one-shot' category had been implemented.

her most expeimental album has to be : 'the hissing of summer lawns'. 



Oh yeah, forgot about Hissing!  That is an amazing album. 

Well, I won't start this thread on Joni, but she wouldn't have to be JF, I think you could make a case for PR.

about experimental albums by non-prog female vocalists, we should cite Dalbello's 'whomanfoursays' and also her last which is darker 'whore'.

Inside out is a very experimental album by John Martyn and on his live albums he would stretch some songs to 20 minutes.

^ Thanks for being sensible, here. I can't stand it when somebody accuses me of pushing an artist for no good reason. I specifically DON"T do that. If I honestly didn't think Drake had a chance in hell of being added, here, I wouldn't have suggested him.

Jeez, you'd think with some of the things being said in this thread that I had done something really crazy, like suggest post-punk as a sub-genre, or something. Wacko

Yes but John would improvise greatly during those 20 minutes and be as inventive and experimental as any of the accepted artists here.

I think Nick Drake paved the way for dark folk/gothic country and has disciples in Nick Cave, Sol Invictus, Death in june, Jay Munly...but never thought of him as a prog artist. 

post-punk (and its US equivalent : no wave, as opposed to new wave) is experimental, just like post-rock and post-metal, which are not prog subgenres as well but are considered as such here...I meant to add it as a subgenre just because it's another of those "post-"something" that, through its experimental side, has something to do with "prog". Most of the bands of the post-punk bands will probably find their way in prog-related or crossover-prog, I don't know, but it doesn't really reflect the musical genre they belong to, and it adds even more confusion as to what is prog-related or crossover-prog.

Welcome to the clubWink! It seems some people can't disagree with a suggestion or addition without questioning other people's motivations.

No, I know, man. Smile I was honestly just trying to make a point. In your situation with the post-punk thing, you felt that it deserved a place here. The majority (at least for now) disagrees. Similarly, I felt that Drake had some merits to at least consider for inclusion, but the majority disagrees with me, also.

So we both have been in the same situation, and I guess I felt it was a little rash for you to accuse me of something I would never do in a million years (suggest an artist simply because I like them), when in fact you had been in a similar, out-ruled boat not even two weeks ago. 

But no harm meant.

Nick Drake has been proposed and considered several times over the past 4-5 years, for both Prog Folk and Prog-related.  He is currently on the 'not likely' list for Prog Folk, simply because there is little merit to the argument his music is progressive in any way.  That said, I believe all the Prog Folk collabs are fans.

I'm not sure if any other genre teams have considered him; frankly IMHO it would be hard to picture him anywhere but Prog Folk if he were to be included here at all.
