Prog Rock is a form of Art Rock - what's the problem?

"this was not some fanboy fav addtion" AH HA! So they finally admit that this type of addition does happen.  Now all we need is a list of which ones are which.

^Well, that depends on how you define Prog or Prog-Related...

as to Bowie: the archives rule is that even only 1 prog album is enough for the inclusion. Bowie certainly qualifies with "Lodger", which is a full-fledged prog album; if you doubt this I recommend listening to it again. and "Heroes" and "Low" are just short off the mark to be fully prog, in my opinion. so I would not even have a problem with Bowie being included fully instead of under related only

In my opinion DAVID BOWIE is 100% Prog!
Like... LOU REED!
And PA is alway PA because in this case the place for Bowie is clear PR. In fact not for all Bowie is Prog. But for 60/70% of PA members is Prog. And this is a clear case of an artist for PA but inserted in PR!

That's funny because to my ears Low and Heroes are more prog than Lodger. And I already see I disagree with ZZ's opinions on a few (Outside, Earthling, ...hours). I'm going to enjoy doing a few Bowie reviews even though I've got some other stuff on the back burner and particularly since I have such a hard time reviewing some instrumental albums I've added that haven't attracted any reviews.
On a side note, anyone remember his Saturday Night Live appearance? I think he did Man Who Sold the World and Boys Keep Swinging.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Correct sentence is:
Prog Rock is a form of Art - what's the problem?
And David Bowie IS the Art!

Oh joy another thread about how ProgArchives shouldn't be called ProgArchives because thread started disagrees with obvious choices related to a certain genre.

Since it would run into unnesicary expense (graphic art etc) and cause confusion to those who may not have visited for awhile to find the new named site ... I think it should just stay Prog Archives.

What's in a name? ... Don't matter.
Surely Bowie is more prog related than some other (death metal) acts which are added to PA recently and I don't see any harm in broadening our views on what's prog related so far.
Who's next? The Rolling Stones (It's only rock 'n roll, but one may like it), Creedence Clearwater Revival (Suzie Q or I Heard it through the Grapevine may be an entry) or The Temptations (Papa was a Rolling Stone is a fine example of prog soul)?

...and the irony is that it wouldn't BE progarchives without threads about how progarchives shouldn't be called progarchives. but at least we're not looking at a backlash as with the addition of Sabbath, BOC, et. al.

Why have I lost interest in this website? I used to love it. Maybe it's just me but when I read new posts, they don't interest me to the degree they used to.

Enlarged for more truth.
This topic IS USELESS.
Anyone want Artrockarchives or xusernamearchives? Set it up yourself and leave everyone here alone.
End of story.
