I definately think they should be represented on the site. Even some of their albums before Unia have prgoressive elemens.

Ah, well I wasn't referring to artists we legitimately missed. What confuses me is why someone would really want to sneak Tori Amos in.

Although I do have to admit that I was surprised to see that there are legitimate artists we have missed even after all this time.

The only reason someone would say they are not progressive is if they haven't heard Unia. There is no other way to classify Unia. It certainly isn't power metal. The Days of Grays also has some progressive elements, but is nowhere near as progressive as Unia. There are plenty of bands on here that are far less progressive than Sonata Arctica.

http://progfreak.com/go/home/progarchives?path=pm/rejected&block=10. Three no votes from current members of the team means that Sonata Arctica is rejected.

I guess I should feel offended, but IŽm in a good mood today so IŽll take it as a compliment insteadBig smile. WeŽve all listened to Unia to re-evaluate if Sonata Arctica would fit into the progressive metal catagory on PA ( Sonata Arctica was originally evaluated before Unia was released), but three out of five didnŽt feel they would fit the site, so a rejection it is.

OK. Well, thanks for taking your time on this anyway.


...and to me they're still progressive.

No problem. There are also plenty of artists that I feel would fit the site which have been rejected, so I know the feeling. Thanks for taking it nicely.
