A reflection on the band included on

   I was that in a review I said that the Iron Butterfly should be included on www.progarchives,com. to have blundered? I read that Ofur is not agreement with this inclusion. But to tight harshness of its reasonning not even Queen, Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash, Magnum and Triumph are worthy of www,progarchives.com. Instead the Iron Butterfly are a lot more Prog of what it is believed. In fact you are, like the like Vanilla Fudge and in the part the Jefferson Airplane carried Classic Music elements in the American Psychedelic music. So like the Queen and the Deep Purple are fundamental, for example, for the birth of the Prog Metal, Magnum and Triumph carried in the Hard Rock elements of Classic music remaining Hard Rock to 100% (not like Rush or Uriah Heep that created, to my warning, a perfect fusion between the two genre!) and the Wishbone Ash blended Prog and Hard Rock creating them time it is not Hard and not even Prog. And then there are The Beatles. You are not Prog, however is between the fathers of the Prog. Besides on www.progarchives.com there are groups like the Weather Report that do pure Jazz, but that go beyond the Jazz, in sense that unite Miles Davies and Classic Music (and in fact Curved Air, Sky or Gravy Train are perhaps except for Symphonic of Pink Floyd, Genesis, Vangelis, Catapilla, PFM ecc...? Is the percentages to do the difference!). Therefore, second logic also the Led Zeppelin and the Black Sabbath have been to include. Is difficult to establish what is the Prog. Also because also certain album of Iron Maiden had Prog elements and I find Prog elements also in the Post Punk of the Stranglers. Is therefore blundered to introduce certain groups? And, still, it is just my reasoning?

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

	I think that what your saying is that some bands that we have here on PA in the Prot-prog and Prog-related catagories only show some prog tendancies and not on all albums. And that there inclusion could let in other, much less prog bands. (have I got it right?) To that I do think that some of the bands here in those cattagories are much less prog than I would like but ther here and thats that, either the owners or the band submission team thought that they had enough qualaty to merit inclusion and I'll leave it to them. As for other bands getting in that dont belong here, each band is revied on its own merits rather than a "band X is here so band Y should be" method, we just have to trust that Snow Dog and the others get it right, and I do.
	Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
