What's up with you guys? We're meant to argue endlessly about this sort of stuff.

exactly!!  I do think it was a nice first attempt. But agree, there were 3 glaring omissions. Hawkwind, Marillion, and Opeth. 3 bands to add, 2 bands that could easily come off. Camel and Colosseum. It is meant to be fun, not an intellectual exercise, so we will expand it past 32 and add some more that IMO fell just outside the top 32 and likely only seed the very top and give some byes to them to keep the voting interesting early on. Keep the suggestions coming. Remember. There is lots of great music, great bands. Who in your opinoions were the historically important ones that is the way I am leaning now.

So that's it settled (f**king) Camel gone already. Someone will have you over the coals but not me as I'm a Camel Free Zone.

Camel is not gone. Are you kidding!!!? I mean to beat them fair and square, with arm twisting, threats, sex, lies, and videotape if necessary hahah My point was if I kept it to 32, I would have had to take them off to make the more obvious omissions fit. I am expanding it, and of course Camel will find a place, and likely in ELP's quarter of the draw

previous (unacknowledged) comment forgiven make that 4 glaring omissions, and you were the only one to catch it. Well done sir!!! as far as Miles Davis. See my conversation with David. He is on the site. I don't think he fits the poll, he dwarfs mere prog rock. He is a jazz artist, whose brilliance extended to progressive rock.

This is gearing up to be a fun contest.
I'd add Death, Atheist, and maybe Voivod to a group of 64. Certainly Death was very popular and influential. In the end, we wouldn't want too much prog metal to miss out on a chance at the bracket.

I think it's just done in fun, but I have been wrong on occasions.

the one we had years ago was a real hoot! I might keep some slots open for prog metal groups over and above the few I have in. It is an area I know very little about, I'll shoot you over the list, if interested, and have you fill out some bands since you get the gist of the list.

 good thing I don't take anything seriously. Not the lists, nor opinions of them. It is supposed to be fun. Something you still have never learned the meaning of apparantly
