Related to Prog Related is not Prog Related.

Ah, but if we start calculating how many degrees of separation between Prog rock, prog related and prog related related are acceptable for a band to be included in the PA database...

"Warriors of Genghis Khan" is musically complex enough to qualify as math rock but it's the lyrics that make it prog metal:

Burning, looting, raping, shooting (repeat)

I've tried this many times before but here I go again. Spinal Tap were a very important band in that they were very progressive and touched on so many different styles. They have influenced bands from Led Zeppelin to Metallica both of which are represented here on PA. I can't think of a more influential band in the annals of not only progressive rock but the history of rock music itself. Nigel Tufnel is perhaps the greatest musical genius, albeit misunderstood, who has ever walked the Earth since the days of Mozart. Progarchives owes them the honour.

A Spinal Tap is actually a medical diagnostic procedure to extract cerebrospinal fluid. Doctors call it a lumber puncture. Google it if you don't believe me.

Anyway I don't know about Joke band because they were actually a real band and went on sold out tours. Recently some porno director proposed a XXX parody of Spinal Tap. a parody of a parody???Confused

I remember seeing it for the first time in '84 with my girlfriend most people actually thought it was a real band and some were even angry because they wasted their money seeing a film about such a sh*t band. I am NOT making this up.

And if you don't think they are a real band this is the by far the best fansite I could find

www.spinaltapfan.com

It's a "serious" fan site. Check it out.

I stepped down from being an evaluator for the sole reason of the overload of new music.  Although the flak we got didn't hurt my decision.  I am proud of those controversial artists whose addition I supported that were added.  But the Tap is a joke band, so if I were still doing evaluations, I'd have to say nay.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

While we are at worthy candidates for Prog Related/Prog Retarded, Bad News is surely worthy an inclusion too. They did at least have some very long songs like Bohemian Rhapsody and a song about Ghengis Khan. If that does not warrant an inclusion......
