OK, I wanted to think a little bit, so I searched Suggest New Bands list for some of:
Here are some of 1)Well known names 2)Often suggested artists/bands together with most suitable discussion. Helloween (4 times - we can expect them to being suggested at least once per year - Halloween) Judas Priests (3 times) Tori Amos (3 times - the last was your own suggestion, hehe - she has probably the biggest chance to get in) Coldplay Phil Collins (4 times) Grateful Dead (4 times - again, your topic is here as well Textbook, so I'll choose old one) Within Temptation (4 times) Tom Waits (4 times) - funny thread, especially OP Björk (4 times) Them Crooked Vultures (2 times) Stevie Wonder (2 times - we all know new thread, so here is old one) Gorillaz - just once, but it was nice suggestion and one of the better ones Faith No More (2 times) Soundgarden (3 times) Boston (3 times) SoaD - 9 times John Frusciante - 4 times Smashing Pumpkins - 2 times Talking Heads - 2 times 30 Seconds To Mars - 2 times The Velvet Underground - 6 times The Byrds - 5 times Meatloaf - 3 times Bob Dylan - 3 times The Rolling Stones - 3 times Pete Townshend - 3 times UFO - 4 times Stratovarius - 4 times Megadeth - 3 times Toto - 5 times - huh?

I'm one of the people who tried to get Bob Dylan in here
 He had two albums that may have been proto, but after listening to the rest of his output... Oh no...
Although The Velvet Underground could be proto...

System Of A Down are the record holders eh? Just being nominated nine times should suggest something's going on there. My opinion is they were evolving towards being a prog metal, but never quite got there. They could perhaps get in on influence.
They're not a bugbear but I personally would love to see Magazine here though I bet I never will.
I remember just recently, Nine Inch Nails getting in caused a bit of a stir. I'm a NIN fan but I still thought that was a strange call.

Tori Amos Afro Celt Sound System Allman Brothers, The Badalamenti, Angelo Bears, The Buckethead Budd, Harold Carlos, Wendy (strictly for Beauty In the Beast) Claypool, Les (here but needs his own category for the mess of projects he's made that were one outs) Bruce Hampton (another one of the fighting weird Colonels) Europa String Choir Jackson, Joe Johnson, Eric Kuhn, Joachim L. Subramanium/Stephane Grappelli and also /Larry Coryell McLachlan, Sarah Mitchell, Joni Monade Pere Ubu Police, The (for the later albums) Praxis Arcana Rhodes, Happy (new to me) Rush (ow ow ow don't hit me  )Stereolab Sting Summers, Andy Talking Heads Ten Seconds Van Tieghem, David XTC I may have missed one or two that aren't on my list or slipped under the radar screen here.

Yeah, it should suggest that the people posting the suggestion threads don't know how to use the forum's Search option.  |

SJ: Really now, who searches to find out if a similar thread has ever been made before they create a new one? I bet whoever they are they also index their socks.

Before I suggested Claudio Rocchi I used PA's search and Googles "site:progarchives.com" search. Just sayin'. Oh silly me, I've put sock 36G in sock 26G's spot.  Edited by A Person - July 12 2010 at 22:46 |

I think seriously the only bands worth considering from the exhausting list here are:
System of a Down - I have Hypnotise and mesmirise and they are very proggish - perhaps like NIN
The Byrds - more psychedelic but highly influential like all the late 60s psych bands.
Soundgarden - Superunknown is an incredible prog album but the band has been denied due to later non prog albums.
Within Temptation - in the same vein as Nightwish, After Forever and Epica - its the old operatic female vocal with metal guitars. Same style but totally rejected.
The rest really do not fit in to the prog genre easily. Prog related if anything, and thats pushing the boundaries for some of those artists (Tom Waits, Phil Collins, Coldplay), but we dont want a site full of Prog Related material as thats not what the site is here for.

Soundgarden? Really? And yes I'm a fan but they're not prog. I'd put in Pearl Jam before them due to their tendency to do bizarre experimental tracks and odd genre jaunts and tribal numbers but I would also add that I wouldn't even put Pearl Jam in to begin with, I'm just illustrating how surprised I am by the Soundgarden talk. What about Magazine? Have you guys even heard Real Life? I really think the gang here would like it. |

"Superunknown" by SG has those fantastic arrangements and the time sig excellence of 'Spoonman' as well as 'fell on Black Days' 'Superunknown' and a few others that really bend muscial time sigs to the max, I just love that album. I reviewed it on Metalmusicarchives.
Pearl Jam? hmmm, that's feasible.... I loved Even Flow and Alive but admit I havent heard much apart from these. They are easy to get hold of at the library. Which album do you recommend as i am open to new prog as long as its prog that is.
I heard 'Ten' is great and their latest. Edited by AtomicCrimsonRush - July 13 2010 at 06:34 |

ACR: I don't think Pearl Jam are particularly prog. I wouldn't have them on PA. I was just illustrating how unprog I think Soundgarden are.
Anyway in my opinion PJ have never done a terrible album, but they only have one masterpiece- Ten. Their entire discography is worth soldiering through if you want to see probably the best pre-Radiohead example there is of a band turning away from commercial pressure to just do their own thing. On their second to fourth albums you can almost hear them deliberately chasing fans away with some of the things they do. After that they relax a little bit but the oddness doesn't quite ever depart. Their last two records have been a lot more accessible (and better for it imo- kudos to PJ for daring to release their infamous experimental tracks on their albums but very few of them are good music) as I think Vedder has calmed down and is just making music he and his fans will like instead of trying to prove something with each LP as he did in the past.
Check out this thread of mine for info and samples- I should update it with review of fourth LP No Code soon.

Stratovarius springs to mind as one proposal that went on and on (and on).
