what about joe satriani?

As a matter of fact I left the link out intentionally because I had posted it in another thread today and I really don't want to spam the place. But since he asked: Of course it's the fascinating Ratingfreak.com!

Must be an imposter... where's the real Mike!!!????

He's got you there Mike - this is probably the first time you promoted your site without providing a link 

^ Well, maybe you're done with the argument ... but if you like you can come over to my website and help us build a list of great guitar albums. There you can also vote whether the Satriani albums are prog or not. 

^ I must remember to get around to listening to the three Steve Hackett vinyls I bought about a year ago ... 

^ Like it or not, but it does matter which musician you're talking about. In the case of Tony MacAlpine his albums are prog (fusion), so he can be added on the strenght of his discography alone. In other cases what you said above might apply ... musicians may be added as solo albums if they played in an important prog band. But IMO this should only be done if their solo albums are at least compatible with prog, and if they're not really prog then the artist should be added as prog-related.

so you saying that if tony macalpine(its an example, im not asking to add him) plays with planet x, and planet x became planet x after he joined it, and his solo project is closely related to  planet x, then he should be here?

p.s
im not asking to judge/add planet x, or macalpine, im just want to understand this policy.

the symphonies..

if thats the only reason why his here, then malmsteen should be here to.

^ where's the connection between Malmsteen and Vai? I just don't get it.
