I looked at the date and considered it, but
a) it was after midday (which may or may not matter)
b) Metallica are worthy of consideration, as this poll has proved.
c) For an April Fool it would have been better/funniner to have suggested a totally unlikely band like the Beatles or the Scissor Sisters.

April Fool's it may be. But one thing this joke showed: just how many people think Metallica are prog and should be included! About 50%!! Yikes! It's a good thing you reserve such decisions to yourself, and don't go specifically by democratic vote! Thanks for being a benevolent dictator!!!
Peace.

Never mind the votes in the poll, the votes against are just as fake as the votes for. The fact that some wanted to take it seriously is a clear indicator that b) is a valid observation.

agree wholeheartedly.
But my position remains the same.
Yes, Metallica has had significant influence on prog-metal, and they are a great band with some minor progressive elements.
No, Metallica are themselves not prog.

Sounds like you're scared that people might take it seriously and put Metallica in the archives...
The only reason it's still on the front page is because you keep replying - so it must be a topic dear to your heart, no?

Death were a Death metal band. |
Someone probably called you out on this already, but in those 15 years
they only released 5 albums(and CAS is arguably pretty prog) as opposed
ot the 9 undisputably prog albums in the 70-80 progressive era.
Without Genesis, 3/4 of these bands wouldn't exist and there'd be no need for a "progarchvies" site because noone would care.

Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God.
