Now that we have Queen in the prog archives, I think that Deep Purple is deserving enough to be on the Prog Archives.

What would be the one entirely progressive Deep Purple album? I can't think of any.

This logic has a fatal flaw. If we add B to the archives, which is slightly less prog than A, we then must add C, which is slightly less prog than B, ..., and before you can say "wait a minute", Z is in the archives.
IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.

Their first two album are prog, but please DO NOT BREAK THE RULES ANOTHER TIME.
As someone already said, why should we damage PROG ARCHIVES more and more?
Altough.. uhm..wait a minute.. Deep Purple are so good!

Deep Purple made a lot more prog rock music than Queen,so I agree.Add them.Their might as well be consistency (although I'd rather Queen were deleted from the archive)

I would agree that Deep Purple have made more prog music than Queen
(well, they made an album with an orchestra for a start). Also Purple
are on The Best Prog Rock Album In The World Ever and Queen aren't, so
there. 
Personally, I think they both have some prog elements but neither are
truly prog. This is a very difficult question. Perhaps they both fit
best in the "some prog influences" section.

Listen to Highway Star and Child in Time and tell me that they are less
proggy than Queen. Richie Blackmore along with Jimmy Page
metallized guitar playing and if that's not deserving of a little bit
of prog respect, than I don't see how Queen is given any respect at
all. Just because one suggests Deep Purple be added to the site
doesn't automatically mean that he is being opportunistic and is only
suggesting it because he sees progarchives weakened by accepting Queen
and sees it as a time to take advantage of that. It's just that
realizing a band like queen CAN get accepted to progarchives makes us
Deep Purp fans realize that the Purp does deserve being included in the
archives because they are more prog than Queen. I don't believe
we can approach the acceptance of prog bands by only considering
whether an entire album is prog. I believe a more reasonable
approach is whether their output or influence progressed rock in any
way and if they created a new sound at that time. Whether they
had a few proggy tracks on each album or whether they had one album
that was entirely prog is of no consequence. What matters is the
band's outlook on music and how they progressed rock by their entire
output of work.

In Rock is a very progressive album, and Deep Purple did produce some proggy tracks. I don't have a problem with them being included - although "Book..." is more psychedelic than prog rock. "In Rock" is probably DP's most progressive album, IMO.
However, to say that they were more proggy than Queen is nonsense. Queen II is a pure prog masterpiece.
