And then some.

"Telegraph Road" is a nice long song.  Nice long songs are not necessarily progressive.

I know they're not 100% progressive, but they are more progressive than some bands that do appear in PA, like Black Sabbath.



Well that's a matter of opinion of course. I would deny it. But a quick search would have shown how many times they have been suggested before. No real need for a new thread I think.

I would not be opposed to their inclusion though. After all...Kate Bush is here......Bjork..and Tori Amos also. No..I see no problem.

How about Olivia Newton John. She's from the 70's, 
And this is kinda a long song  "Please Don't Keep Me Waiting" - 5:48

I wouldn't oppose Dire Straits in Prog Related, seeing what already in that category and in the Croos-over genre
 
I do consider all of Love Over Gold as rather proggy (>>> Private Investigations most notably, but most of that album as well) and the second side of Brothers In Arms is definitely a shade of proggyish... 
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

Shouldn't Dire Straits be included as a Prog-Related band??

They're not Progressive, but they have more prog than a lot of bands that do appear.
