Well there are a few albums (Sextant and his Mwandishi albums) who would deserve inclusion , but this goes for Miles Davis also

We can hardly add Jeff Beck and not add Hancock ...

can we add Hancock (and his huge jazz discography and his playing in the MD quintet) without adding Miles Davis Himself >> I am in favor of Miles and I think miles should get precedence to Hancock

I think he made very Interesting electric jazz, very progressive sometimes.       
Also like Chick Corea should be in the archivesSmile.

I'm sure our jazz expert Dick Heath had a view on this. If I recall correctly, he has said in previous threads that he does not think HH should be added.

Sean Trane is damn right... Miles Davis is the "protagonist" of the whole genre (along with Mahavishnu, Weather Report and Return to Forever, which are all in the Archives) and deserves a big salute...

yet, as Trane suggested, he (like Mr. Hancock) has such a huge discography (despite his 5 year retirement from music, just in time of the Prog heyday!) that we ( I mean each one of us!) may not easily handle it...
 
I believe we have to find a way to deal with it, otherwise great albums (Bitches Brew, Sextant, Head Hunters to name a few from the aforementioned) just go unnoticed, unless you bump inbto them in forum or elsewhere... Maybe a special "commission" may evaluate the 100+ records, and elect 20 something proggier of them, to feature here... (the same should have been done for Beatles and so on!!!)
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)
