Snow Dog wrote: Well Iron Maiden won't be added, they lost the vote. And I'm not saying these bands should be added, just making a prediction out of some possibilities. I'm sure that someone believes The Stranglers belong here!

Well someone belivies that The doors and coldplay should be in here too

Thats a very nice band, I like their 5 first albums much. But are there much progressive elements in their songs? They had couple bit longer songs, some mellotrons and covers by Roger Dean, but musically they mostly resemble the good old BLACK SABBATH, no?

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.

XTC - NO (They are New Wave)

Echo & the Bunnymen - NO (See above)

Yngwie Malmsteen - NO please, just no..!  Spare me..

The Doors - No (Blues)

Coldplay - Thats got to be a joke..

I would support the inclusion of Black Sabbath and The Who above the above mentioned. That doesn't mean I dont like those bands.
