Iron Maiden On The Archives...

I've got a simple question: Why has Iron Maiden been added to the Prog Archives?

It's not the case that I'd think this band would be crap, no way (though I don't like them, but I think they are a good metal-band) but I can't see anything that is progressive in their music (or the music of them I have listened to until now).

This is an archive for progressive music. Sorry, but I simply can't dispose the feeling that many people here forget that.

Exactly, that's my point of view either! And if you're taking Iron Maiden out then you can take out other non-prog-bands like Radiohead or Muse...

I could go on all day telling you why Radiohead is progressive.

Of course, if you are the kind that only thinks bands that are like Yes, Genesis, and Pink Floyd are progressive and only bands that sound like them are progressive, then its a lost cause.
