Oh boy, I don't think I could belong to a forum that allows a band whose penned such sap as "Shandi", "I Was Made For Lovin' You" or "God Gave Rock And Roll To You".

I think on the previous page (before the collabs team got loose) someone stated that at least one prog related album would be a fairer benchmark than at least one prog related song.
Apart from that I like my own question

But perhaps we informally have other criteria as well, like being more reluctant on adding 'big' general rock bands (like the mentioned Boston, Toto, Journey, etc. etc.) compared to the band with the more obscure prog parts (Talk talk, The Church, Split Enz, etc. etc.)? |

Yes! KISS for PA! I totally support the idea!!!  Seriously, though, I think Eric has a very good point. However, I don't think there is any real solution to the PR problem, because the relation to Prog is even more subjective than the 'prog quotient' - as somebody else said in much better words in an earlier post. That said, either we scrap the category altogether (which is not possible, since we are not the owners of this site), or we learn to be less close-minded and more tolerant, avoiding to make every addition into a personal issue. Just my two eurocents, of course.

I
agree that songs like "Foreplay/Long Time" have some progressive
qualities, but where do we draw the line? Should we include KISS
because "God Of Thunder" could loosely be considered prog metal, or
that Music From The Elder was a concept album and could also be
considered progressive. I just think we're loosening up just a bit.
Just my two cents.

Nice anology with the church because since my arrival on Prog Archives
early 2004, I consider myself as a 'progrock missionary'
