Absolutely not.
 
If I may be frank, it is one of the worst additions to the site.

Sure. His albums definitely got something. Crossover seems fine.

Led Zep are here as Prog Related, so not Prog anyway. I was against their inclusion but I understand why they are here.

I voted Prog-Related.
 
But I have to say that working in a somewhat beleaguered sub-genre myself (though nowhere near Crossover), I would not second guess a team that has worked very hard to evaluate and add artists to the site.  I don't agree with every decision, but a team's decision is theirs and I support them.

I'll second this rant.   I used to argue that ALL rock & roll was "progressive" by definition, since it evolved from blues, jazz and other forms, incorporated increasingly modern/complex instrumentation, and continued to change. 

However, in the way that "prog" is defined on this site, I don't see anything that Plant has done as meeting the strict definition of the term.   He's played with a few progressive instrumentalists like John Paul Jones, and done some interesting rock music, but I believe he's still firmly planted in the blues.  

Wot the hell, throw the gates open!!  Humble Pie?  Why not, Clem Clemson recorded with Jon Anderson!

Cheap Trick?  Yeah, they used synth once or twice!  Sheesh!

We should start petition to evict Plant.

Edit: it's also pretty telling that not one member of the crossover team is even attempting to defend their goof up.

Ermm   Goof up?   It was well-debated, both in the Team and among Collabs in general, and I have little doubt a Crossover team member would be happy to discuss it.

Seriously, they don't need to. However, since this thread has only been in existence for 4½ hours it isn't really that surprising and certainly isn't "telling" of anything in particular, well... nothing relating to Xover or Percy that for sure.

Why should they? He's been here for two years or thereabouts.

I do expect that you'll climb down from your judgemental pedestal and listen through, and write about, all of Plant's solo albums in the coming weeks. So that we'll know that your opinion is based on concrete knowledge and not just someone contributing with knee jerk reactions and hot steam based on loose knowledge.

Incidentally, I didn't partake in this particular inclusion nor do I have an agenda. But I really dislike judgemental people with aggressive tendencies. I'm outta this debate, and I'll be awaiting a flurry of Plant reviews in the coming days and weeks.

I've heard a bunch of his solo stuff, so my moral outrage is totally justified Tongue Also, I really dont care that much, but I think it does show that bands are evaluated based on who proposed them as well as the music. And that attitude is what bugs me.If I'd suggested Plant, I woulda been trolled into non-existence.

Justin Bieber has a new haircut. If you look at it from an angle, it somewhat resembles Elvis' hair up to a 2%. Elvis is very important in rock history. Prog-rock is a part of rock. 

Justin Bieber belongs here.
