Honestly, if you reject Chicago on the basis of their 80's pop, should we not get rid of Genesis as well? But that does not seem to be a problem anymore  |

so what do you rekon their best albums are I'm really interested in exploring them further only got their greatist hits, it don't like their 80s hits too much, they all kind of sound the same to me

If a number of people with a vast knowledge of prog have suggested their inclusion, it means there is some merit to said suggestion. I know the band even less than you do, but don't doubt the expertise of those who know more than I do. As much as I can understand some members' frustration with some of the policies, I don't think it is a good reason for doubting people's integrity, or suggesting we want to include Tom Petty, ABBA, or whatever.

Ooooooooooh ! aren't we angry today ?
I read again my post and did not see any specific doubts against no one. I did say that If they have a more progy side that I'm not aware of, then fine. Then I said that in general that I feel we became a bit too much inclusive here lately. However, if anyone feels ofended by my words I apologise. That wasn't my intent.
Funny thing is that in another thread about Toto's inclusion I did reject their inclusion by quoting your words writen few weeks ago. I suggest you check that one so you can be realy angry that I used your words supporting my thoughts.
It seems to me Micky do believe in Cat Stevens' words (I'm looking for a hard headed woman). It's O.K. I feel the same about this issue (Mickey, you lucky bustard !).

oh yeah... since I see threads all the time asking how to become one...
a secret I'll let everyone in on that might not be explicit in the FAQ.. if you want to be a collaborator.. these are the kinds of things that get you noticed. Being a collaborator means working for the site.. and doing things just like this. We are always on the lookout for collab worthy people... part of what we are looking for are those that can..and will do the dirty work that comes with maintaining..and expanding the database.

There aren't too many Chicago albums on Progfreak yet so that is probably a major reason for the skewing.

Methinks the curve needs to have data points marked with an X or a dot or something. Also, it indicates the mid 80s stuff as being as progressive as some of the early albums.

Well, it all depends on what those few songs are - picture someone incredulous that Genesis are here, because they heard a few songs from "I Can't Dance" and are bewildered at the prog credentials of said band.

Are Chicago prog related or fusion etc?
