A lot of these have been suggested and discussed before e.g. Budgie and Patto. With respect it would save the genre teams a lot of time if you could filter these out by searching through the Suggest New Band section.

For the ones that haven't been suggested before, we will need MP3 samples, photos, biogs, web links etc as per the requirements.

Thanks.

Okay, I removed

Ginger Baker's Air Force
Todd Rundgren
The Pink Faires
The Deviants
Faith No More
Budgie
Patto
Ween

But I still think these bands should be added. Anyway, I'm new to the forum so I'm not exactly sure what to do. Should I just open a post about a certain band that contains all of this information (i.e. mp3's, photos, links, bios, etc.)?

Hi Anoah, Welcome to the site and thank you for the band suggestions.  It is PA's goal/motto to be the ultimate prog resource but there are so many bands out there we definitely count on band suggestions to find many bands that aren't currently included.
 
The long answer to your question is to check out this thread here:
 
 
You should probably check out that thread anyhow, but a quick response is that it is generally best to start a new thread with the bands name and suggested genre in the title.  That way the specific genre teams are alerted that a band has been suggested for them to listen to.  Within the thread, a quick summary about the band and why you feel they belong on PA is helpful, as well as links to the bands MySpace Page or Website, or other internet sources that might play music that can be listened to for judging the bands "progginess" as well as determining the best fit for a genre to include them in. 
 
The quickest way to get a band included on PA is to also include a picture of the band and an original biography of the band that can be easily added to their PA page, or at the least can be used by the genre specialists to assist them with writing an original biography for PA.    I hope that this helps.  And thank you again for your assistance with finding the prog bands that may not otherwise have been found.

There is an 80's band called Streets that is fronted by Steve Walsh, similar to Asia as far as progginess, or even less so.  Has an arena-rock feel.  Definitely some prog influences, though, like the pop side of Kansas.  I think it would fit nicely in Prog-Related.

Twink is pretty awsome, and already here
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Little Free Rock is also a good band.

I wouldn't say Jazz Prog...more like a good example of pop-infused prog or Crossover Prog.  Some might argue Prog Related.  You can listen to their samples at the myspace page link.  There are some good tracks.

Well i remember 2 or 3 years ago i suggested Danish band Hurdy Gurdy, which was not truly accepted buy may have been considered for prog related.

I was reading about them.  It turns out that Donovan's song "Hurdy Gurdy Man" was written for lead guitarist and friend Mac MacLeod but Donovan didn't like the version Hurdy Gurdy did, so he made a single out of it.

And check out their Myspace page.
