How is this Prog?

Yes, because it influenced Motorhead and Queensryche, who later added two doohickeys.

Got it.

But is still strange to see his 1959 album in the top 100 of PA...

OOOOOooooooooohhhh!!!!!! So obvious!

Uh, shall I throw the first stone? There are several Jazz artists that to me its just jazz and have nothing to do with progressive rock. Miles Davies, for example. But we can add even Hermeto Pascoal.

They have absolutely no conection with rock nor what was conected with Progressive Rock. Unless this is also a Jazz archive, I never understand their adition.

BOC = Blue Oyster Cult.

And as has been previously mentioned are listed under prog related and not a prog category.  I suppose the explanation is that although not entirely prog themselves, they were influential to heavy prog and prog metal bands.

Also, from their PA page biography:  Why this artist must be listed in www.progarchives.com :
BLUE ÖYSTER CULT have always had many things in common with prog, from the lyrics and subject matter of their songs to their extensive use of keyboards - not to mention the complex structure of many of their best tracks.

That one should actually be directed to Raff...but the sh*t she had to put up with that addition she may have to had repress the memories.

But is Madonna more prog than Miley? That's the important question.

Ok,  but are you sure you want to put Miley Cyrus under Just For Fun?

Should be moved to "Just for Fun"

(BOC are under prog-related)
