Of course there are two "borderlines" here ... between "not-prog-at-all" and "prog-related", and between "prog-related" and "prog".

appeal:

The Doors (great, very influential band)
Sparks (I don't know enough of them to judge)
10cc (another great, underrated band)
Blue Oyster Cult (among my all-time favourites)
Wishbone Ash (excellent)
Led Zeppelin
Locomotive (don't know them)
Rainbow (up to "Long Live Rock'n'Roll", among the very best)
Toto (too poppy for my taste, but great musicians nonetheless)
Steeleye Span (fantastic folk-rock band, with great female vocals)

I would also add Supertramp and Pentangle, while I'm not a big fan of Queen. As to Deep Purple... they absolutely rule!!!

If X band is here, Why not Y band.....Absurd

If A band is not Prog, then B band neither....As absurd as the first one.

Lets value each band for it's own merits, I may agree or not with Queen or Radiohead inclusion (Most probably not), but I would never say ok guys if Radiohead is here then Led Zeppelin also

Both bands are different, no copnnection and even if one addition is a mistake, why in hell should we make another?

I believe Led Zeppelin is at least Prog Related, but if I want their inclusion I rather read ten reasons why they should be here  and not a list of 10 less Prog bands added by mistake as an excuse.

Why?  Whats your rationale for this?  I don't like either band, but how does Radiohead not being prog make TMV not?  Last time I checked, Radiohead didn't record 30 minute songs, use technical instrument playing, etc.

My point is, there is a vast difference between Radiohead and TMV... one has proggy qualities, and the other has artsy qualities, but nothing that resembles any generally accepted prog band I've heard.

Why Micky? Aren't we allowed to have an individual and unique taste?

oh come on now Ivan... you should know by now one of the reasons I respect you so much is your unique and iindividual taste in music. 

There was a Jarre long thread long time ago (  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1913&a mp;a mp;KW=Jarre ), you should check it, there was a lot of people who disagree with my opinion, but another good number that agrees.

I'll check that thread out.. thanks for the heads up

That's the central point of a forum, I would hate to be part of a Forum where somebody says X band is awesome and 30 replies saying "Yes it's true".

hahahah.. how true.. why do you think I get such perverse pleasure out of playing devil's advocate against  Genesis in some threads. 

That's a fan club and I would never join another one again (The Genesis Forum was a problem, you weren't allowed to find a flawed song, everything had to be perfect, that's why I don't visit it for almost 2 years).

Well I'll do my part to make sure that PA's doesn't descend to that level either hahahhah. 

I'll look over that thread this evening and see what you had to say on Jarre.

Iván

your partner in prog...

out of curiousity.. where do you think Jarre should be?  Electronica perhaps...

Out of Prog Archives

I love his shows, but the music IMO is mostly weak and boring, if it wasn't for the apectacular shows (Houston - Lyon is fabulous) nobody would care for him in the Prog World.

Maybe Prog Related at the most.

Yes, I agree. Someone was on drugs when they added Triumph. Because they are Canadian and sound vaguely like Rush in their less Proggy moments ? I was born on Canada Day (July 1st)- can I be listed under "prog related" ?
Fire up the flux capacitor ! We're taking this Delorean through all four dimensions.

What is the future of prog ? Genesis reunion ? I'm not telling!That could upset the thyme/space continuum.
