I'm indifferent to be honest, but note that it was added to Prog Related (as was noted above), not Prog Metal, let alone "a real Prog category" (little joke). ;)

And for those who doubt its prog metal relation ;):


2003
Master Of Puppets

(25 ratings)

I'm fine with it in Prog [Metal] Related (and can understand the reasoning).  I wouldn't really mind if it was in Prog Metal.

Wow. Just....wow. Metallica most CERTAINLY had a major influence on prog metal bands, Dream Theater and Fates Warning for starters. They helped to create speed and thrash metal. In essence, their first 4 albums not only pushed new boundaries in heavy metal and opened new doors, they helped shape prog metal, even though they aren't and never where a prog metal band. Granted Metallica had the 90s and 00s happen to them....and St. AngerLOL, but to say that adding them to the Prog Related section was a bad mistake couldn't be more wrong. An absolutely resounding GREAT ADDITION to the Prog Related section from me!

Although maybe it's all because so many people like to piss on metal/prog metal on this site.....(alright, that little part's mostly a rant, but still, it's often true).

3rd option for me, but I still respect all the time and effort that is put into making these decisions and maintaining the site. I won't complain at all; I'll just stick to my opinion. It doesn't affect anything else for me.

Perhaps in the very early days but Metal already has a castle with moats and towers, can prog not have theirs?
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I'm not feeling good about this "choice" to add Metallica but maybe I`m wrong about things, well lets see  your point of view and see what the poll outcome suggests.  Smile
