Polkadot Cadaver is here, so DFD seems like shoe in for sure. RIO/Avant maybe? Pretty dern similar to some of the Bungle stuff IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACo4OdmIogc" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACo4OdmIogc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_rDPMt-E5U" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_rDPMt-E5U -------------

| I'd say so, yeah! They are reminiscent of Mr. Bungle, and their phoenix project Polkadot Cadaver is here under prog metal. |

Hmm, well it really seems like they should be here, somewhere. It'd be a shame not have them on here just because we can't figure out what box to shove them in. -------------

Maybe there needs to be an additional genre "Stuff that we don't know what the crap it is"

Hmm, ever considered that the fact that a band doesn't fit any of our boxes is the reason why we reject them?  I admit there are cases where decisions are pending because bands fit multiple boxes, but I don't know if DFD is such a case, unless we add Faith No More first and then have all Patton clones to join the party. Ask Rune2000, he's our DFD/Polkadot specialist |

We are, after all, talking about one of my eight all time favorite bands here!
- A.C.T - Cardiacs - Dog Fashion Disco - Genesis - Gentle Giant - King Crimson - The Residents - Univers Zero -------------

Well it would be a remarkable non-prog band in a list of proggies, but it's just circumstantial evidence that will not be withheld.  Hej wait, there's not one metal band there  |

Meshuggah was a clear candidate for one of my top favorites until they re-released "Nothing"... it's been downhill from there and on.  -------------

^ I don't agree with this notion considering that DFD have been wrongly rejected by the previous PMT.
According to them the band sounded like alternative metal! That's a comment from someone who clearly haven't heard DFD (or alternative metal?). -------------

I rather meant that there's no way around the rules (unless new material and such...) Listening to these samples here and I'm a bit surprised admitted, there is alt metal in there but lots of other stuff as well, prog amongst it. Clearly avant-metal. |

I support DFD for PA, and suggested it myself at one time (been suggested once before that and twice after that including this one), though I think I should have put it to the art rockers (Crossover or Eclectic) rather than having it go through the PMT (was rejected by avant before that). Sometimes bands have been rejected when they probably should have given a move vote (after all, one team is usually not an expert on another team's category). Adultery is PA relevant to me. I think it at least PR worthy, but would rather not make a case for it to admin and let fashionable sleeping disco dogs lie. For reference purposes, here are past discussions:

Posted By: Bonnek

You're right, at least if you rephrase it like "bands should be considered if they take in considerable influences from an established Prog band". By means of comparison, PA list anything that sounds remotely like Genesis or Yes. So the "if X then Y" is perfectly logical reasoning. I can't see what's wrong with that. Not being a specialist on either bands I know them enough to see how mr Bungle is regarded as full-blown avant-prog and DFD is not. DFD would be a good match for 'art metal' in exp/post though (they are at least 50% mr Bungle) so I can't understand them being rejected frankly. |

@Bonnek-I agree wholeheartedly. The really funny thing is that Polkadot Cadaver is already here and they are basically a less prog version of the same band. Sex Offender was almost radio-viable. Edit: Oi, Rune, did you see this? From wiki: "On June 25, 2011, at the second of two consecutive reunion shows, Dog Fashion Disco announced it will be releasing an acoustic album. This album will be released on their new record label, Razor To Wrist. Attendees of the reunion shows with VIP passes were provided with a code that allowed them to download an acoustic version of their song "Sweet Insanity." That concert series will also be released via DVD at a later date." -------------

So a band that's basically the exact same is here and they aren't? That's...odd.
I just came to look at their ratings on the site and maybe rate 100% positive they'd be here and they aren't. Huh. Think that should be rethought for sure. |

I know I'm late. I just came here to post in the suggest bands and saw someone else did first. Then I saw they were rejected which shocked me greatly. I just can't fathom them being rejected. They are the textbook definition of proggy avant-garde metal. |

I completely agree with the fact that DFD are an experimental metal band that is worthy of their prog recognition. If you'll look at my profile then you'll note that I'm a huge DFD fan and know all of their albums inside out. Unfortunately this doesn't help the cause since a rejected band will remain this way unless they release new material (which is unlikely) or move them for evaluation to another sub-genre team (which hasn't worked out so far). -------------

| I think it's time Admin had another look at this rule whereby a rejected band can only be re-evaluated if they release new material or get taken up by another sub genre team. There are obviously several cases where bands have been rejected by previous incarnations of the evaluation teams, and the vast majority of members expressing an opinion believe these rejections to have been in error. Dog Fashion Disco is one example, Coroner is another that cropped up only yesterday. I believe that if a completely new evaluation team is in place from the one that rejected the band initially, and the resolve of the members of that team is sufficiently strong to vote unanimously for the band to be added - then they should be allowed to do so. This is after all an archive site, and if the archives have gaps in the database due to 'errors' on the part of previous evaluation teams, then it isn't entirely fulfilling its role as an archive site. A procedure needs to be made available to us so that we can correct cases such as these without having to wait for new material to be released by the band/artist concerned, material which indeed may never be forthcoming. |
