Not these arguements again...
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Muse are a damn sight more prog than Rush and noone questions Rush's right to be here.

But Iron Maiden? Ridiculous. And don't even consider Wishbone Ash - I'm one of their biggest fans and would love to give Argus et al 5* - but they ain't prog. Brilliant, but not prog.

What about 10cc, I'm surprised no one has even mentioned them.  Sheet Music and The Original Soundtrack are both very progressive albums and I never hear them mentioned on this site.  Maybe it's because they're simply too damn catchy to be considered prog, or maybe it's because the band index is A-Z and discriminates against the alphabet-challenged prog bands like 10cc?  Either way they need to be included!

Please add another vote for IRON MAIDEN and what do you think about DAVID BOWIE?, I think if QUEEN is allowed to be here, wht not ZIGGY STARDUST.

Donīt get me wrong I love QUEEN  but I think BOWIE has more prog elements in his music, if you donīt think so, see the evolution with his music, every album has something different.

I don't know what your opinions are on this, but I think Chicago should be
added on under Prog-related perhaps. Their first three albums are
wonderfully crafted! Even some of teir later ones were proggy. Of course
after Kath died they kinda went downhill but thats at least 10 pretty
solidalbums for prog relation.

Lately I'm becomming mopre interested in some Medieval Gothic bands, I find a lot of points in which this genre blends with Prog, lets face it, Medieval and Gothic are early Classical eras, so why aren't some of them included.

Forgetall the stupid paraphernalia that surrounds Goth, don't worry about the dark clothes and the vampyre stories, face only in the music.

My first three choices are:

  1. Miranda Sex Garden: They blend Celtic Medieval influences with Goth, complex vocal arrangements and a lot of classical (Gothic) influence, as Prog as Renaissance at least.
  2. Medeaeval Baebes: Also with Katharine Blake (From Miranda Sex Garden and 9 more female vocalists), even more oriented towards late Medieval, the best vocal arrangements I ever heard, if thi is not Prog, I wonder what is.
  3. Dead Can Dance: More oriented towards Classical Gothic, dark and atmospheric also very close to symphonic.

Why Symphonic, because the main influence of Symphonic is Classical (Can be Baroque, Classi, Romantic or even Modern) and lets face it, Gothic and Medieval are also Classical sub-genres or eras, so I can't find a problem.

The three bands are included in most Prog sites already, so we will not be taking many risks.

Iván

Of course I know QUEEN II, in fact is one of my favourite albums of all times, but QUEEN never made a conceptual album, and when they made their highest point in A NIGHT AT THE OPERA they went down, BOWIE is the the perfect example of evolution because as I said all of his albums show something different, and most of the times better than before.

And have you heard SPACE ODDITTY?

The Reverse Engineers.  They sound great and really proggy.  Very similar to Rush, as well.

Their website, with five samples.

Glass Harp is played on Aural Moon.  Not that that means that they should be here, but obviously someone thinks they are progish. 

David Bowie's Alladin Sane has quite a few prog elements IMO. 

I think that
Mallard &
White Witch
Should be here as well.
