Ummm..I think these are prog bands.

As I see it, Roxy Music is Glam Rock, or at best, Art Rock. Star

Both bands are on PA. 
Yes I know, but I don't generally think of those artists as prog. Smile
 
Kate Bush (Art Pop)
Roxy Music (Glam Rock)
Talk Talk (Synth Pop) 
 
 

I don't listen much to Kate Bush, but I still think she belongs to PA, I understand why she got added to PA. You say you love her music and yet question her being on PA? Talk about weird... Stern SmileLOL

Roxy Music is more than glam rock, always was, so again, I see no controversy of them being on PA. I think they were under "art-rock" before art-rock got divided into crossover and eclectic. Got no problem with RM being under crossover prog here on PA. 

Talk Talk are on PA because of their last two albums. Again, no controversy here. 
Just for the record, I have no objection whatsoever to Kate Bush, Roxy Music & Talk Talk being included in PA. How's that for weird? The more the merrier in my opinion. Smile

you've complained several times about these bands being on PA and now you say it's fine. Consistency is hard... LOL

What was weird was that I don't listen much of Kate Bush But I understand why she's on PA, on the other hand you say you love her music and yet you do not approve of her being on PA... Like I said... weird...

About Talk Talk, I guess that it might be quite an experience to listen to their hole discography (albums) as it's not particularly big but so many changes in their music - quite impressing as well how creative/innovative they have been.

Hmmm... off the top of my head...

The Fixx - Shuttered Room
The Fixx - Reach the Beach
Billy Joel - The Nylon Curtain
Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age of Wireless
Thomas Dolby - The Flat Earth
Pete Townshend - White City
Men at Work - Business As Usual

I'm tempted to list the Talking Heads and even something like Tony Banks' The Fugitive or ELO's Time, but these are already on PA.
