I just noticed that Captain Beefheart is now filed under Space/Experimental. This is WRONG.  Of course his music was experimental, but isn't most prog? He has absolutely nothing in common woth the other bands of the subgenre (Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Eloy, Porcupine Tree) and I think he should be moved back to Fusion (or maybe RIO). In fact, his music is hard to describe (I would call it avant-garde blues-rock, I think), but it's definitely NOT Space/Experimental. Could this be changed please?

Thanks.
