Bob, Talk Talk were added (by ProgLucky) on May 31, 2004 - so they've been here a for a long time, in Art Rock. We are not very happy with that, and plan to move them to PR (as I don't think it would be possible to delete them from the DB). However, their presence on the site brings us back to the question of whether other acts from the same period should be added too (notably Japan and Talking Heads).

I didn't realise they were added such a long time ago. I saw quite a few new reviews for them recently and never saw any before so I thought it was a new addition.
 
We always have that question about if you include one band then you should include others who are related. Of course, you can't just include new bands because another one is here.
 
I think the best solution, as you said, would be to move them to prog related.

PR is probably correct for Talk Talk as they were basically a synth-pop band to start with (I saw them supporting Duran Duran once). They deserve a place here for their wonderful later albums (Spirit of Eden is probably the best album on PA) so we can't even consider deleting them!

No, I'm not one of those who's particularly worried about genres. As long as they're not in metal, that is.
