Someone probably called you out on this already, but in those 15 years they only released 5 albums(and CAS is arguably pretty prog) as opposed ot the 9 undisputably prog albums in the 70-80 progressive era.

Without Genesis, 3/4 of these bands wouldn't exist and there'd be no need for a "progarchvies" site because noone would care.

Sounds like you're scared that people might take it seriously and put Metallica in the archives...

The only reason it's still on the front page is because you keep replying - so it must be a topic dear to your heart, no?

Serious ??????? What is that 

can we please get rid of this

thanks

tuxon:

Yes, Metallica has had significant influence on prog-metal, and they are a great band with some minor progressive elements.

No, Metallica are themselves not prog.



Thats the best way to describre em in terms of prog!

agree wholeheartedly.

But my position remains the same.

Peace.   The poll results were tricked

wouldve been too obvious though.... and watching all you guys argueing (and taking it serious) was way more fun
