MUSE IS HERE

I don't think they should be here.

And that is all I am going to say on the matter.

awesome...

Democracy isn't flawless...

I am constantly flabbergasted that people continue to confuse bands added as Prog and those that are added as Prog-Related.

Prog-Related bands are not considered to be Prog Bands!!

Prog Related
Rock and Pop Bands and Artists after 1970 who were not truly “prog” (as that term is generally and broadly defined, even by the site), but who were clearly not “mainstream” or simply “rock” bands.

A wide subgenre that encompasses two kinds of bands/artist, that either consist of progressive artist that strayed away from their progressive roots into mainstream rock or were influenced by progressive rock.

Even though the music by these artists is sometimes unrelated it had things in common with prog music in that it was very structured and even adventurous, sometimes hard or heavy, sometimes mellow, strong melodies, good hooks are an integral part of most of the material. Sometimes these artists pioneered other rock genres.

Though most of these artist can't really be considered progressive themselves, their relation to progressive music is not to be underestimated.

C'mon it's not that difficult to understand...

I understand this me old mucker, but how can we give Prog related bands 5 stars then? I think the meaning of the star system has to be reviewed now also.

^^^Not at all - read the ratings:

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive music Excellent addition to any prog music collection Good, but non-essential Collectors/fans only Poor. Only for completionists
