Why on earth are you sticking to the progarchives if you are just here to be a bitch about other opinions

IM and Metallica are possible PA canadidates.

It like X Factor, Simon Cowell chooses who stay and who goes.

There it came! A truth at last.

It's OK to propose bands to be added here, but how can the value of having any band added (or not added) here be so great, that one shoul lose his/her temper for that issue?

Trying to get them into prog archives is understandable but was always doomed to failure. But considering other bands/solo artists that have been included here, Maiden were unlucky. As for Metallica, they are just thrash metal, and from what i've heard of them, nowhere near prog. But hey that's just me.

Why are they "unlucky"? I bet Maiden's happy. Like I said earlier, they don't want to be rubbing shoulders with Phil Collins and members of Ambrosia and Styx. They're happy in their own neighborhood. They want to rock their own neighborhood.

Why do some people need the prog archives to "beknight" these metal bands with the prog archives seal of approval? Why are you trying to suck up to the effete elitists who spend the day listening to Soft Machine and Gentle Giant?

Don't burden Maiden with this stuff. They don't want to go to school.

I started the thread to hear how it was going on with the inclusion of maiden ( if you had gotten the files i sent and so on...) instead i get lots of replies about other bands that they want included i dont want this discussion now

So Iron Maiden are ready to be include, and no one can says a word?  There's more against this than for, so what? I don't know what was your intention.

I have just been on a Uk radio station (arfm found at arfm.co.uk) to be interviewed about my debut album and while on the show the dj says to me do you have anything you would like playing...........well...........I like my prog as much as the next man so i went for something that influenced a part of my album (my album been a concept album).........what did i go for you ask.....................Alexander the great by IRON MAIDEN.

Maiden are the KINGS or rock and they are the birth kings of metal prog.

I always liked the more "longish" Maiden songs, the ones with big instrumental breaks and list is a long one.

MAIDEN ROCK.........................forever
