had to look up the meaning of clods.

anyway. it's not the name that defines the site, it's the content that does.

you can name it "Archie's Dumpster" and still there will be no difference.

^ But WTF is "prog?" Wink

'Sokay Bob, and that makes sense. Smile

I guess the frequent disputes over additions/ommissions bothers me more than some. Ermm

I have no problem with the Doors being included here. I consider them a good fit. There's room enough for all artists who didn't fit "the mold" and their inclusion allows for a broader discussion of progressive influences on today's music. There are millions of younger music lovers who need to be introduced to the myriad of musicians and bands from the sixties and seventies. Progressive rock music isn't a narrow trail, it's a highway.

A while ago I have proposed to rename Prog Archives into Prog Music Archives in order to give the possibility to add bands and artists that lack the element rock but sound adventurous, inventive, eclectic, .... progressive. I regret the fact that this site hosts many non-adventurous prog metal bands and doubtful progressive pop bands while very interesting bands/artists like David Bowie, Jeff Beck and Miles Davis are still not added because we are too busy with endless, often emotional and subjective discussions about the right category. We even juggle with the genres Art-rock and Prog-related to add bands/artists to Prog Archives. So please rename Prog Archives into Prog Music Archives, this will do more justice to the word 'progressive'

staying away from the doors question.. though ..shock... I agreed with Phillippe as well haha... however.. good news. David Bowie was accepted by the Art Rock team and will added next week by myself with Greg's (Wayward Son) help with the bio. Time to start concentrating on real prog.. and put all this crap behind us.

in fact why don't the admins close this thread... it's distracting the other threads considering that the doors was already added... why don't you all discuss the Doors issue on another section of the forum?.... no biggies

Good idea Chus.

Some people have obviously taken leave of their senses.
