Hey, I have it. Just add a whole new one and call it Jazz. Anyway, of course Dave Brubeck should be here. His influences are unquestionable.

I don't think a jazz section is nessary.. but the pioneers of popular progressive music like Brubeck, and one that Guigo mentioned last night.. Stan Kenton could... and in Brubecks case...should be here. We let artists in who sure enough rock but the prog part sort of gets skipped over.... tell me how someone who was undeniably prog yet not rock should not be here. This is a prog site you know hahah Honestly a prog collection without a copy of Time Out... is an incomplete collection any way you cut it.

I agree that a JAZZ section is not really something this web site should consider. It was more of a comical solution, but musicans in Jazz that have unquestionable impact should be included and celebrated.
If this site is going to recognize Heavy Metal then it most definatly must include Jazz. There is a big list of potential musicians that should be listed here and of course Time Out is a killer album.
I am a big fan of Jazz and some of the newer acts are using all kind of progressive elements in their music. Patrica Barber comes to mind and her album Café Blue is a good example of this. This is one of my desert island albums to be sure. It would nice to see some input here from others.
