^yes, he seems very confused on the definition of Prog, even if it isn't 100% perfect, it's what the site requests.
I can barely think of Classical music as Prog, they influenced Prog bands a lot, but INFLUENCE A PROG BAND DOESN'T MEAN PROG, like I said on the other thread which again you seemed confused, Deep Purple are in PROTO-Prog which is that influenced Prog bands on their Prog albums/concepts/etc..

Mozart is not Prog!
 
Neither Bach,, Beethoven or even Stravinsky, mainly because Prog means Proressive ROCK, and as I guess you know....There's no Rock in Classical music..

Classical music didn't influence prog bands. It is the reason that this site and just about everything music wise that we love exists. I fully agree that Deep Purple are proto Prog. My argument is not that Stratovarius are one form of prog or another. My argument is that I cannot find Strat anywhere at all on the Site which I feel is absolutely not right.
Anyone want to try to tell me that Stravinsky or Mazorski are not prog even by todays standard then go ahead. Again - I don't want to see classical music on the Site at all but what I would like to see is an understanding of music. This is not Liverpool vs Arsenal - it's music - probably the deepest art form available to humankind.
I've heard it said that a musician who cannot appreciate the classics is not a musician and I agree with that whole heartedly. You will never catch me listening to much classical music because it bores me because we've advanced technologically and we have a deeper understanding of music. 
I've given up the fight for Stratovarius here and maybe now and then I will enter the fray again but not now. It is obvious that I can't win.

That way we please are members... and we finally can start welcoming artists like Rolling Stones, Shakira (both mentioned here), plus others like Kylie Minogue (my favorite female artist, not for her music so much), Mayhem, (I like them, that's enough), Meat Loaf (Ivan and others like him, that's enough), The Presidents of the United States of America (they have an important name, that's enough), Hombres G (believe me, that's enough), El General (his lyrics are enough) and many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many more.......
LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLBig smileBig smile
And finally I would see Alice In Chains in there TongueLOL oh god this is amazing!!! Maybe the site can be renamed to "My Prog Archives" what do you think??
Oh and please don't forget Carlitos La Mona Jimenez, one of my fav latin artists (right after Los Jaivas of course). Everything seems OK, but... Los Hombres G??? Oh come on!!! They don't play so technically to be prog!!!
This is not my beautiful house...
