Black Sabbath inclusion

Hmmm, I wonder if other "prog" guitarists might plead guilty to referencing blues riffs in their playing. Oh my God ! Steve Howe has at times played country based guitar lines ! Out with Yes, that non-pure entity !

You pulled my qoute out of context and changed its meaning. I would never deride the blues nor diss someone for having a blues influence. I play blues gigs all the time. I was adding my two cents to an ongoing discussion in the previous posts.

Well, we of the Heavy Prog team have added at least two obscure Seventies bands - Bodkin and Freedom's Children, both excellent examples of our subgenre. Then we have added two Romanian bands, Celelalte Cuvinte and Pro Musica, and will be adding a third, Progresiv TM.

As to bands missing, I have been checking our DB against other prog sites to see what can be found. Heavy Prog was a very popular variety of prog in the Seventies, and there were bands from every corner of the world - I've ever found trace of a Korean band somewhere!

Well then we are in agreement. By the way, Chet Atkins is a big influence on Howe. Listen to a Atkins record, the similarities are amazing.
Yeah, I like all kind of music, its all good.
