HARK! THE VILLAGE WAIT

This will be my last review on progarchives. So, Fairport is considered either prog-folk or prog-related. Ok, I can see that, since they were one of the first to develop a mixture of traditional folk songs with new instrumentation. But that doesn't mean every spin-off is also prog. No, Steeleye Span and Fotheringay are far away from being prog. Even artists like Cat Stevens are more progressive than these bands. Steeleye Span recorded all traditional folk tunes, so that's actually regressive: the opposite to PROGRESSIVE! And Fotheringay is also not prog, it's more singer-songwriter. If Fotheringay is prog-related, then Clapton's Unplugged album is a prog-related masterpiece... Please get rid of all those prog-related bands, or be more openminded and also include bands like Motorhead. Lemmy was in Hawkwind and the song "Overkill" is one of the first songs with double bass drums. That's pushing the envelope. But no, Motorhead is metal, and prog is an elitist old white male genre. Just look at most of the bands that are in the prog-related section. Yes indeed, mostly 60-70s British bands. I get it, this site is run by older British males.

Seriously, clean up the prog-related section OR include artists like Motorhead, Megadeth, Angel, Tame Impala, even the Beach Boys... Get yourself some younger admins, because for a site dedicated to PROG this site is outdated.

PS: as far as this album goes, I would rate it 3,5 stars based on the music. But since it's not prog and I want to make a statement, here's 1 star. Bye
