As for Opeth: check out Damnation and tell me that this is not prog. Or listen to "The drapery falls" on their page here. This is a totally pointless discussion.

Are you "suggesting" (not in an explicit way) to put Abba in the Archives because, as they are Swedish like Opeth, and maybe they sound more prog than Opeth to you (do you like  Opeth, anyway?), they deserve to be here. Right  ?  Smile


Wink Exactly!Clap


Well...abba is mainly a disco/pop band. They started out sounding like some average Swedish "dansband" . Some progressive elements in a couple of songs, maybe, but not prog. Btw they were one of the biggest hate objects of the Swedish prog scene in the seventies. Some songs with potential for being good, but with arrangements that are a total failure imo.

Waterlooo, waterloo ...LOL

Yeah but.. well... this is an old question, I think you should ask the Symph Prog team or something like that. Even if you got a 100 to 1 result in the poll, I don't think that counts so much (IMHO).Smile
 
By the way, I like Abba, but I don't think they are prog. Good Swedish pop is all you will get from me. 
 
Man but do you really think Abba is prog? Seriously ? Opeth are fantastic, I won't explain the reasons why they're here, because I think it's boring and everybody knows it.
 
Maybe Abba could be here as prog related... uhm.....Smile Question
