why don't we start with something "less", and more familiar??? Jon Lord, for instance! ------------- Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret: Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!) |

Iona are already here, and I want to point out that the 5 bands in your
first "group" also appear in the long list you have there. Also,
a suggestion: instead of just giving a long list of names, give reasons
why you think those bands should be regarded for conclusion. This
will probably spark more comments, and also gives people unfamiliar
with the bands an idea of what they sound like. |

Have a close look at our website fist, a lot of bands you mentioned are already here (Guapo, Maudlin Of The Well, Ruins... from the top of my head, maybe more).

Only DEAD CAN DANCE was familiar to me of your list. You should ask collaborators, what they think of them. Then just start adding... typing errors... |

Guapo's prog, all right, and you should all have Five Suns in your
collection...unless you hate Magma. And how could you? |

Most of the bands on Kohllapse's list I haven't even heard the names
of, except for 4 or 5. But I'll counter that with two suggestions of my
own: Invisible Opera Company of Tibet University of Errors -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Slint are Math-Rock. Cocteau Twins are more pop than anything. Butthole Surfers, they're not prog!! ------------- "...misty halos made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine." |

Cocteau Twins are great, but definitely not prog. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste. It is a process of expression." -Merleau-Ponty |

Good effort but some are defo not prog - e.g Cocteau Twins.... Also maybe check your list first as some are defo already here Plus it's so big it's virtually a website in itself Great effort though, all in the name of discovering more bands - plus you stumped BaldFriede which is tantamount to impossible
------------- I can't remember what I said I lost my head. __________________________ |
....................then again that might be because it's not all prog !?Posted By: Pseud0

True but one of the greatest black metal bands. They had a hard time at the start of their career because after the release of their debut 3 out of 4 band members were in jail. |

Kerry Livgren belongs here. He is on of two main songwriters for Kansas and is the main songwriter for Proto-Kaw both of whom are already in the Archives. Most of his solo stuff and AD stuff should qualify him. Steve Walsh the other songwriter from Kansas belongs here for his last two works Glossolia and Shawdowman. -------------

Nightingale-The band themselves label their music as prog. I personally think their music is a bit AOR-ish Edge of Sanity-They were one of the death bands to introduce prog element to their music. Peronally I think there are more progressive death metal bands Alchemist-Just because the band has a lot of psyche elements doesn't mean they're prog Failure-Not Prog in the least. Great band though Postman Syndrome-This band needs to be put on Prog Archives immediately. Probably some of the most inventive and creative music I've ever heard |

The problem with your statement here (and with the list you've given) is that you've quoted someone else's review. Just because someone labels a band prog doesn't necessarily mean that they're prog - you have to justify that statement by giving specific reasons why they should be considered prog. Having said that, here are some comments on the bands I'm familiar with: AD/Kerry Livgren - Definitely worth considering, due to the Kansas connection, but I have only heard a few tracks, so I can't make an informed decision. America Gomorrah - Heard a few mp3s, which I liked, and are possibly a candidate for being included here. Nightingale, King's X, Galactic Cowboys, Tourniquet - All of these have prog elements in their music, which for some people might be enough to warrant their inclusion, however I don't think they're proggy enough to be here. Balance Of Power - Never understood why these guys get labelled prog. They're a good band, I just don't hear any prog. Sacred Warrior, Deliverance, Jacobs Dream - Good metal bands, but not prog |

"Prometheus" is a very proggy Black metal album though, so this band has more prog elements than other bands listed there. ------------- I'm a Man-Owl-Fish. Creator-Observer-Muse. |
