Who are the bugbears of this section, the people that either keep getting suggested and knocked back, or get accepted only to have an ongoing grumbling of "WHAT? REALLY?" in response?
 
I've noticed Tori Amos and Bjork seem to have almost become running jokes in this regard, in that they are frequently suggested, but the admin has dug its heels in on the matter and they ain't getting in. There's old chestnuts like "Amos makes about the same music as Bush so how come Bush is in and Amos is out and its counterpart "LOOK, KATE BUSH'S MUSIC IS PROGRESSIVE BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN IN A BUILDING AT THE SAME TIME AS DAVID GILMOUR PROBABLY". Any others?

This really isnt the right section for this thread. But I'm at a loss to think where it should go. Any suggestions are welcome, but it won't be staying here for much longer.

Judas Priest is one that always makes bad blood boil 'round these parts. One that I suggest again and again is Helloween - no one wants that to happen either.

Let's also not forget about the one uber-troll who would not let up on Korn and Stratovarious....

Artsy stuff from new wave are is occasionally popping up, XTC for example. Also some borderline proggy AOR, such is Toto.

Phil Collins.

Some more elaborated Southern Rock bands.

Grateful Dead.

One that is not mentioned often (but it should beEvil Smile) is Scott Walker!
Percussion, sir!

Someone argues that Mars Volta aren't prog? How does that work? Even if you hate them, they're clearly prog.

 
I notice hackles are raised when Coldplay gets mentioned.

English Settlement is a good starting point.
 
If you like a bit of psyche pop then their side project Dukes Of The Stratosphere is worth a listen.

OK will do, (I hope they have XTC albums at the local CD store, if they don't I will use the Internett Cool CDON or something)

And even though they aren't prog, they don't deserve it.  They're still a good band.

It's clear a portion of the user base isn't comfortable with Muse either. I think they may just squeeze in but they're more prog influenced than full-on prog to me.

The constant suggestion of new bands is perplexing.

I'm not sure if Steely Dan qualifies for this thread, but "Aja" sure sounds like prog to me.

^ Steely Dan is here.   To the dismay, and jubilation, of many. 



Thoughts on Velvet Underground?    Proto?

Or Iron Maiden or Metallica. It's strange, but I realized that many people were offended by addition of The Beatles on ProgArchives years ago. There were arguments like "This will never happen", or "Over my dead body". Now, things like Pepper or Abbey Road are completely normal thing to expect here.

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

And I thought that people should respond only when they have something interesting to tell.
