Instead of so many people concentrating on adding bands that have extremely thin ties to progressive rock,why not concentrate on finding and adding some genuine progressive bands to the archives?

Bowie? Glam rock? You are VERY misinformed, Jody. He had a glam rock period, yes, but he also had an art rock period and a dance music period and a folk period.
You're thinking of Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane.
Much of Bowie's stuff is prog (Low, Heroes, Scary Monsters, Station to Station).

That's true,I posted in a hurry.I know Bowie has had a long and varied career,and I have always loved his music.My mistake.

I like both artist a whole lot. They both made interesting and artistic music that has been highly influential to many genres of music, prog included. I could care less if they get added or not, it's all cool to me.

If I have time I will make a biography about The Doors, I have more than 10 books and even written an article about Jim Morrison so this will be a comprehensive one. But at this moment I am busy with The Gift, Yesterdays and Also Eden to gather information and making a biography so this is my priority.

Most likely The Doors are coming up soon. I think we should let Erik Neuteboom get the chance to include them in proto-prog since he has championed their inclusion for roughly 2 years now.
Go for it Erik!!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Ok, I'll never get Amorphis in this website.... Even though I'm firmly convinced they have prog elements and more of them that a lot of already included bands... OK, I give up, maybe when Green Day is included (the way things are going)....
But I just can't take this injustice: we have Santana, maybe prog, past discussion... we don't have Hendrix, who revolutionized everything...Ok, I shut up.... We have Led Zeppelin, who maybe somehow deserve to be here.... Ok.... somebody asks BOWIE over here, but let's stop the injustice: if there's one rock-pop-blues-psychedelia-jazz band that HAS to be included is THE DOORS... with Amorphis I have the problem of they being unknown, lack of support, but with The Doors, please, I don't think I'm saying anything new by the way... Listen to The End, to The Soft Parade, When the Music's Over....
If PA includes Bowie and not The Doors... well, I'll ask for the inclusion of Beyonce as prog-related... she broke boundaries!
Please, Morrison Manzarek Krieger and Densmore cannot not be here...
