IMO only Mogwai from this list are prog.
 
But the question is put incorrectly. "Which band should not be in ProgArchives?" - You had to clarify "from which perspective"? Prog or non-prog is highly disputable matter. There are too many non-prog bands already added here. But as long as ProgArchives' aim is to become the most powerful database of music with inclusive tendencies, all bands listed should be here. And more to come...

Rapshody are epic metal (such as Manowar), Radiohead are pop industrial rock

BTW, I voted for my beloved compatriots, the one and only Rhapsody of Dire... Though I'd gladly see the back of Nightwish as well.

But then...

WHO THE HECK VOTED FOR DEEP PURPLE? This is not to be borne!AngryAngryAngry

Rhapsody is the only one on the list I don't see as prog. I don't understand all the votes for Radiohead. I really hate them but they're probably the most prog on there besides Mogwai perhaps.

Probably not. I could not remember which exactly pop-band they remind me at their worst moments. Now I'm pretty sure it's a-ha. Ha-ha.

Mogwai shouldn't be in the poll.

Rhapsody should be removed imo, and also Between the Buried and Me (fantastic band, but doesn't fit here). Perhaps Queen and Deep Purple should be removed aswell.

Andrew Lloyd Webber under various artists his name on this website degenerates the reputation of prog, the Beatles IMHO are on shakey ground on this website as well.

Radiohead with 19 votes? Why?
I think that Rhapsody is the least prog of these six.

Don't know Rhapsody at all, so voted for Radiohead because they are about as prog as the Bay City Rollers, and with worse dress sense... if the Beatles had been included in the poll I'd have gone for them...

DP's first couple of albums were prog, their later were quite far from it, as far as I'm concerned. And their later are more than their first couple. But I've heard one prog albums is enough to get you in, so I guess it's fine that they're here.

I've never found Queen prog though, not even their early records are prog to me, but then again, they are in Prog Related. However, perhaps Prog Related needs to be re-defined. What exactly was Queen's relation to prog? Incorporating prog elements in their music makes for a "Prog Inspiried" band rather than a Prog Related one.

QUEEN!! Maybe is a very personal opinion but I never found nothing prog on their records..maybe som art rock attempts but nothing else... even Rhapsody or Radiohead... I know it's just a matter of taste but this is my opinion...
