Be Bop Deluxe are an excellent band- but I'm not sure about them being prog. If they were under the art rock banner, I couldn't argue with that though.

Not sure .Uriah Heep
have never been talked about as a major prog act although they tend to
be universally ignored in any case.Would they be classed as 'prog
metal' I wonder?
Also other bands to be considered:
Lone Star - very definetly 'prog metal'
Be Bop Deluxe - very proggy
The Tubes - where else can they go??
|
About time someone mentioned Lone Star! They should definitely be here.
The first album contains a 10 minute version of The Beatles' "She said,
she said", also "The Bells Of Berlin" from their second album is proggy
enough for inclusion. Let's get them added.
Be-Bop Deluxe - great band, but I'm not entirely sure.

None of them is Prog.
Although if I absolutely HAD to pick one, I'd say Uriah Heep.

i hate affiliations too, i listen to 50's sinatra, prog and even death metal.
BTW, everybody loves QUEEN  , i've never seen anybody that hates queen. they are the champions

i still think they are not prog, not prog, not prog  (never said it's a fact)
anyway if they are included in the archives then they belong here more than another bands that are already here

I was and am, a huge Queen fan. Saw them three times in the 70's. Queen was not prog, though they had some prog songs. They were more than Rock, too. Queen wrote the book on musical diversity. Queen I was their version of Led Zeppelin. II was prog. Sheer was the beginning of the ultra-genre-defying album which they repeated through the next 25 years. Queen tried hard to defy labels. As much as I'm a fan, they aren't prog.

Hi Doomhammer, I don't know if I'd call them "plain" rock. Queen were so unique that it's hard to link them to a contemperary, and perhaps that's why so many Prog heads have a problem including them. I, too, put them into a different catagory of Prog to Yes/Genesis/ELP but all those three differ and Floyd belong somewhere else all together. All these Bands are nevertheless Prog. No "plain" rock band has ever proffered such lush symphonic guitar work as Brian May, more than making up for the lack of electronic keyboards, and as for the vocal arrangements.....Prog mate! Prog prog PROG!
If you still take issue, please allow me to refer you to my motto, as written below.

None of them are prog as far as I know (I only know MOST of the bands in the list). Let's not waste our time on trying to add the Beatles to the archives! CAPTAIN BEEFHEART deserves a spot!
