   Well, plenty of other cheesy DT-wannabes are here, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were added. 

I would be very sad, though.

It might interest you to know that the guys in Dragonforce strated this band as a joke with the intent of making fun of Power Metal. So they went as over-the-top as possible.

Problem was, people started taking them seriously.

	Good thinking that they wouldn´t fit into progressive metal even though they have lots of elements that could serve as an illusion to many. Totally over the top noodly power metal. I remember being blown back the first time I heard one of their albums. You probably won´t get very far by mentioning that they are more progressive than both Radiohead and Muse though. Artists are generally not added to PA because they are more progressive than what´s already included. Only on their own merits. Í´m not sure about their inclusion on PA ( I simply haven´t listened to enough of their music to be sure), so lets hear what others have to say about it.

	It's probably been discussed several times. I'd give a big no. They are just a rather bland metal band in my opinion.

	Hell no. Every Dragonforce song sounds like the Power Rangers theme.

	I discovered these guys from Guitar Hero III with their song "Through The Fire and the Flames". I really liked the song, so I went out and bought the album that it is off of. It is certainly a progressive album! It's still ultimately power metal, but there are many prog hintings. I would suggest them for prog related or crossover because they aren't quite prog metal, but they are without a doubt more progressive than Radiohead or Muse! Your thoughts?
