 Topic: What band would you remove from the archi
Posted: October 29 2006 at 09:40 |
The reason I ask is that it seems to me that the realm of prog/proto/related is growing at such a rate that soon there won't be any music other than R&B and boybands that fall outside of the prog and/or related genre.
For me, to get the ball rolling, I would drop the newly appointed Mastodon off the lists. Sure, they're metal and sure they don't sound overly generic, but a few intricate riffs and a jazzy sounding drummer don't make progressive metal for my mind.

happy wishful thinking to anyone replying: - you yourself can't remove bands from archives
- bands from the archives can't, generally, be removed (it's not and it's never a game of staying, then going out of here)

I wasn't intimating that removing bands was a possibility.
It's simply just one of the ol' hypothetical Q&A sorts of thing.

Yeah, I'm staying away from this one. I know who I'd like to see omitted, but it won't make a difference, while at the same time hacking others off.

I'd unhesitatingly remove that band of uber-posting pre-pubescent n'er-do-wells known as the VELVET GANG, for crimes against the art of conversation!
Put a  in it!
Just joshing, kiddywinks!

Some of the bands listed as Prog Metal could be moved to Prog-related Imho.

hmmmm... not sure that iron maiden, beatles and perhaps queen have a place here.
Aviv Geffen is definitely not progressive in any way. Collaborating with Steven Wilson does not instantaneously qualify one as prog...
Maybe I'm wrong and it's just my ignorance but I've never heard anything progressive from Nightwish...

Agreed, e.g. Rhapsody, Nightwish, Lacrimosa.

Yes, Nightwish, they're not prog in any description, not even prog-related.

Well there's plenty of mistakes on this site. I'd start with Tool myself.

Beatles are out of place, as are ELO. Also, as much as I love Arthur Brown, only his band Kingdom Come is progressive. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown is not progressive.
