Yeah, that really doesn't work. What was VH1's reasoning for them being on the list?

It's VH1. My 3 year old daughter knows more about progressive music than VH1. :-)

There are some heavy moments. Heart of the Sunrise and Gates of Delerium. But the people at VH1 probabley only know 90215, so that's out the question. -------------

Well the mainstream media uses that term for most things in the 70's. ELP, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson...
Its easier than saying Prog-rock I guess...

Of course, my favorite mislabeling of a prog band was when Jethro Tull got a Grammy for "Best Heavy Metal Album."

the reason yes are there is because the list supposedly culls bands from the hard rock, metal, punk, and classic rock (if that's even a genre) labels.
Yes are sometimes labeled as a Classic Rock band. hence the reason they are there.

| Of course YES is "hard rock". Hard for any rock band to be able to play much less duplicate. |

They wouldn't dare do something like that. Uttering such a phrase would bring certain terror upon their establishment.

A wild guess: VH1 is a video channel, I'd say they base this on the opening guitar riff on "Owner Of A Lonely Heart".
I see their point. If you think about it because...
OK, I'm joking, just another media outlet trying to make a list to please viewers/readers and just showing how out of touch they really are.

I guess they're using "hard rock" as a generic term to encompass everything that isn't pop. Shows that they know!

Any one was expecting Metallica wins it, hehehe. Next time as they've won the Grammy, Lars Ulrich said: "Thanks to Jethro Tull not releasing an album this year". One of the greatest moments in music-television.

If I recall, the opening riff to Owner of a Lonely Heart is about the only think on that album that IS Hard Rock. ------------- David - Never doubt in the dark that which you believe to be true in the light. http://www.myspace.com/aardvarktxusa - Instrumental rock http://www.soundclick.com/aardvarktxusa |

Speaking of Yes, They are not mentioned on a promo for the Midnight Special shows done in the 70's, early 80's.
Eddie Money is, Olivia Newton John is, AC/Dc is, Ted Nugent is, Jim Croce is etc.
Heck, if Floyd or Tull had played (maybe they did) they would have been ignored as well.
