haha, good question, but i think the answer is rather no
at most, it might be prog related, due to its extreme avangardist nature, but then again, you don't see Laibach around here, even though they're avantgarde, albeit in a pretty much different vein however, the avantgarde scene on PA is starting to get pretty diverse so i wouldn't be surprised of additions such as this or The Red Masque one day |

She has been approved as prog-related by the ZART. I will be ading her sometime in the future after the other bands I will add to RIO/Avant.

Diamanda should certainly be on the site - she's more progressive than a massive % of the bands already featured, and better too.

I am sorry, but since site policies have been updates, I can't add her to the prog-related category without approval of Admins (they are in charge of this now, and for good reason). However I will make a case argument for her and submit it to them. It will however take me time, since I am in charge of other things here which take most of my time (and are mostly unnoticed by forum members).
If you are interested in helping me make a solid case for her addition, please, post your comments on why she should be added.
I will write down my case and take your comments as well and together with some music samples, hand it over to the admin team.
Thanks
Assaf

If anyone can find a similar band or artist that is doing anything remotely similar to what she's been doing for the past 20 years, I'd be very suprised. She's the very definition of progressive (I can't think of any album that is more challenging than her albums 'Schrei X', 'Litanies of Satan' or 'Vena Cava').
If people would rather allow yet another 'neo-prog' band on the site, re-hashing everything that was already done in the 70s by Genesis and Yes, before allowing Diamanda on, then go ahead. However, it seems ridiculous to keep such an important artist as Diamanda off the site as she is making genuinely progressive music that pushes boundaries.
If the admins can watch every video here - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=diamanda and still say she's not progressive in nature, then so be it. However, the range of styles she's covered (classical piano, jazz, free jazz, blues, avant-garde, rock) surely denote her as highly progressive (when you take into account she doesn't play those styles normally - but completely twists them to make something new)

Isn't it enough that there are several pictures of her in the Most Beautiful Woman -thread?

*bump*
Is it worth me actually writing out a full submittal thing and emailing it, and having to upload a .zip of songs which takes me a long time? |

I have (finally) passed an official request to the admins (since it's prog related, and they are in charge of that).
Richeym, if you're still interested, and if she's approved, do you still want to write a bio?
If not, I'll handle it.
No need to upload music, I'll take care of that.
Thanks

I'll post it here.

Thanks to the Admins for their quick vote of confidence.
Now:
Is anyone interested in writing a bio (and get credit for it of course) or should I do one myself? (I am familiar with her work and have several albums, so don't fear that I'll misrepresent her).
Richeym, are you interested?

I added Diamanda Galas here:
Now, I need your help adding the albums.
You can either add it yourself if you have the info or send it to me and I'll do it.
Also, all those of you enthusiastic about adding her, are now welcome to write reviews of her albums.
Thanks

I went to help complete the page, and I added The Sporting Life at the exact same time as you, so there's 2 now....
And how can I edit that bio? There are some mistakes and omissions.

Not even a thanks for adding her, eh?
 Anyway, I'll take care of that album.
Send me the edits of the bio (as for errors, you can blame her website and all sources I gave there).
