Thanks Tony !  You've just given me more than enough ammo for The Police to be included in Prog Related !!! WinkLOL
 
As Zappa just said it was Bob that made the post not I....Wink
 
I am flabbergasted that anyone would expend effort getting The Police added to a Prog Rock site....seriously there are lots of real Prog bands out there who need your support. Try searching "Myspace" for bands with the tag "prog" and see if anything worthwhile comes up. All these bands have music posted on their Myspace, so why not go and discover something worthwhile and worth championing...Smile

This is just a quick reminder that the Prog Related and Proto Prog categories on the site have their own definitions.
 
There is a tendency among some members to suggest that bands which have been rejected for addition to one of the Prog sub-genres are instead added to Prog Related or Proto Prog. These two categories (which are specifically for bands who are not prog) are not intended as fall back options for rejected bands.
 
Before proposing that a band is added to Prog Related or Proto Prog, please check that they appear to fit in with the definition of one of those categories. Note that in the case of Prog Related, those bands which are approved are most likely to be well known ones.
 
The definitions can be found here.
