chili peppers/ John Frusciante

I know the Red Hot Chili Peppers aren't prog, and I don't expect them to be on your website, but they deserve a special mention because John Frusciante's guitar work is awesome - man, that guy can play in so many styles.

Also, to his credit he is a Prog lover, and plays with the Mars Volta - need I say more?

i could see John Frusciante being added, maybe under Prog-Related (for the Mars Volta), unless he has prog albums.

Which reminds me, does he HAVE solo albums? and if so, are they prog?

and i say NO to RHCP be added. They are one of my favorite bands, always have been, but they definitly do not belong here. I love Flea's bass tone and John Frusciante's guitar work, excellent music!

I agree ... John Frusciante is an awesome guitarist. But that has nothing to do with whether he can be added to the archives or not.  It's not about quality - it's about the style of music of his solo albums.

John Frusciante has quite a few solo albums, but I've only heard "Shadows Collide With People". That one beats the crap of a lot of modern "prog" bands already in the Archives in terms of experimentalism, melody, and general quality. Based on that album alone, I could definitly see him in the Archives, just not sure which category. I would have to give his other albums a liten, though.
