| Don't you think Frank Zappa (or at least The Mothers) and Captain Beefheart also deserve to be on the website. I mean, they made prog-rock before someone even realised there could be something like progressive rock! On the Gibraltar-pages they are included! |

Indeed, we are working on ZAPPA to add it completely (all discography )to the website ... thanks for your suggestion ...

Great to hear that!!! I'm so glad that he'll be added! I look forward to reviewing my favourite FZ albums. By the way: do you really think Savatage should be included here? I think they make great heavy metal, but don't you think it's a bit too straight-forward to be called prog? I mean, the album Sad Wings Of Destiny from Judas Priest deserves to be called prog, but Savatage?? |

| I have to apologise for what I said yesterday. Savatage DOES deserve to be on this website! The problem (for me) was: I always loved their first album, Sirens. And you can say what you want, but that is not prog-metal, BUT yesterday I played their last record, Poets And Madmen. I always thought it was a very dark and depressing record, but yesterday I found out I didn't like the record immediately because it is much more complex than Sirens. Poets And Madmen contains great prog-metal and I'm going to review it right away! |

| i wonder about David Bowie, the real promoter of almost everything nowadays, and a band called ESPERANTO, i heard a record of them and ... WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!, i think they came from England, but really, i wish you could find something else, and, well, i know certain information about peter gabriel and chroma key... so, i´ll be gald to help to improve the website and the prog culture... although, i know is another realm, but you should mention the existense of fusion-rock-jazz, like Al di Meola, Niacin, and other bands that touches the prog side of the music |

Sorry...but I wonder why this group is mentioned...they haven't played prog music...it's just symphonic hard/ HEAVY rock band...However numerous bands are missed on your list -------------

Hey, philippe! Have you listened to their latest album 'Poets And Madmen' yet? It's great! And prog too! I you don't have that one, download the song 'Morphine Child', it's beautiful! (but I agree with you that their early work is not progressive) |

SAVATAGE have not played ONLY "Symp Prog Metal" but at PROG ARCHIVES we only add COMPLETE DISCOGRAPHY of BAND , even if they did not played PROG on all of their CDs. During the 90s, SAVATAGE creted some GREAT Prog Metal album , The Wake of Magellan is a REAL GEM ! I have add some MP3 to the Prog Archives Savatage Page here:
Any band suggestions Philippe ?

Yes...I think that you forget to mention plenty old experimental and psych/ folk prog stuffs as Carol of harvest, Kalacakra, Ougenweide, Eroc, Mythos, DOM...these are real prog!!! Not an imitation (cf: the new boring prog metal scene). For me metal music dosen't fit to prog arrengements...cause of the mucky incompetence of the musicians and their lack of roots (artistically speaking)...you can't say let's turn to prog rock to become a prog rock band...it's not enough to put keybords in music to be called prog -------------

oh yes, i agree with that, and i mention the fact that the musicianship and artistic vision of a prog band is far beyond the boundries of the regular metal player, i like metal, i mean raw metal, but sometimes these "wannabe's" only mix things up |

Phillipe: Could you settle down about how metal can't be prog? Dream Theater does concept albums, has complex song structures, imposes a number of time signature changes, features outstanding musicians and does a lot of extended soloing. They just do it in a cosiderably louder manner than most prog. |

| Well, to start with, I can add few prog bands from ex Yugoslavia, I saw you have only one ex-YU artist (Tako), while there were some more for example: Korni grupa, Indexi, Smak... to name a few. If you are interested, let me know, I can add Korni grupa, they have a short discography. |

In my humble opinion and far beyond me being a Dream Theater fan, I do think of them as prog since most of their band members (specially Mr. Mike Portnoy) have prog influences such as YES, RUSH, PINK FLOYD, GENESIS (and it's not me just guessing, members themselves have said it before) and I also know they have several influences that ain't prog like ZZ TOP or POISON but I think that if they have just a little dash of proggy influence the should be considered a part of if, don't you think?

I think that Daniel Denis (of Univers Zero) deserves an entry for his 2 solo albums, and I'd be happy to do the bio. Also, I wonder whether Tortoise should be included in the prog archive. Their music may not be exactly classic prog, but I think they appeal to a lot of prog fans. |
