Odd time doesn't necessarily mean prog.  Outkast's "Hey Ya" can be loosely argued to be 11/8 (Five measures of 4/4 with a cut time measure immediately following).  Hilary Duff had a song that had a bridge in 15 or something like that.  Shall we include them in the archives? Wink

I'm preparing the additions as we speak...to be followed by Green Day, they made (or I mean tried oh sooo hard to make) a concept album - grounds for automatic inclusion.

Wow, it's weird that this post came up today.  I was reading the Sports Guy on espn.com, and he was thrilled that Ford or GMC (I can't remember which) had picked up Turn it on Again for its large truck line.  He personally thanked Genesis for selling the rights.  I don't know who else reads TSG, but he has an army of readers, and maybe they'll give Genesis some more respect.
Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass

I think Garion81's on to it. In its proper context I'd be happy to argue for 'Turn It On Again's progressiveness.

It seems more like pop with a proggy twist to it.

Well, it would piss off those who insist that exotic tempos & time measures are a way of identifying prog Wink.
But then we would have to add thousands of old blues masters who, as they were used to playing solo on guitar, didn't always follow the 12 bar rule ( John Lee Hooker, anyone)

Well, in the end prog is probably not even a genre as such.
