   Please remember that they have been added to the prog related section, which means they are not classified as prog. 

For information, the addition of Iron Maiden was sanctioned only after a lot of detailed discussion in by the site's collaborators. This does not imply that all were in favour of course.

Also note that this will be the last new thread to discuss the addition of IM. 

Oh and keep it civil, no throwing of toys out of the pram please.

	Maiden influenced many modern bands all across the rock spectrum - including Prog metal bands especially Dream Theater. Their inclusion as Prog related is fully valid and justified IMO. Heavy rock and Metal is an integral part of the whole rock scene, not on a separate planet. There are groups on here whose inclusion i don't approve of, but you never hear me complain about them.

	I really do not care. I was against some not-really-prog band such as Death or Nightingale, although I love their music, but as a metalhead I can understand why the core here was against them. Now I do not say anything against of for Maiden, if someone feel disturbed, simply skip the reviews and threads. I also do not understand why the proglovers can talk about other bands with so much hatred. Probably they should give up their intolerant behaviour and narrowmindedness and leave their caves. Reflecting to a post in another thread, Maiden is not the 13 year old teens music. I am 29 myself, but the real maiden fans are even older, in their mid-30s (the road to baldness).

	I never thought as them being prog-related. I enjoy their music. Even in prog-related.......................NO.

	If Metallica also get added: yes. Otherwise: no. I was initially against the addition of bands like Iron Maiden. Now that they're here it would be very inconsistent to not add bands like Metallica, who - among some blatantly non-prog albums - released some fine & innovative albums which are IMO much more prog related than anything Iron Maiden ever did. But that's just my personal opinion.

	I've never heard any of their music to judge how much prog they are, but I know its annoyed a lot. I'm annoyed that they are mentioned and yet Split Enz still isn't - it feels like a slap in the face when I saw I.M. on the archives this morning. There is also still the question of Miles Davis and Led Zep as well. But I'll stop my whining and ask what are people's views on them being included. My view is if they are prog then they are prog, like 'em or not. Edited by Cheesecakemouse - October 03 2006 at 04:23
