Topic: The Pretty Things not on PA? Posted: August 16 2010 at 14:14
I went to search for S.F. Sorry by the Pretty Things just assuming they were on PA. Apparently they aren't. I don't see how this makes sense, they're easily proto prog. They released one of the earliest rock opera's of all time, and worked with concept albums. They always sounded like a more progressive version of the Beatles to me, how are they not here?
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

Well they should be suggested, what is done to achieve such a thing?
And if they we're rejected that's ridiculous. They're a much greater example of proto-prog/prog related than many of the "classic rock" bands that are included in proto prog/prog related. Their album S.F. Sorrow being the main arguing point.

While they have been discussed, they've never been formally proposed or rejected for Proto-prog as far as I can remember.
Given the significance of PF sorrow, which is often cited as the first concept album, they would seem like a good addition to me (personal view, I think I'm allowed one!).

Yeah, I agree that Parachute is a better album, but I was hoping the earliness of SF Sorrow would help get people behind this. It seems to me that they would fit in quite well.

So does anyone want to volunteer to do the work to add them? If so, I'll ask the Admin team for a decision on their admittance.
Can member, or mere Collaborator, or Prog reviewer do it by himself, or does he has to cooperate with Special Collaborator in order to propose / succeed with Proto-Prog band Bob ?
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Has to be an SC doing the proposing and adding Marty. If you want to write the Biog or add the the discography then that's no problem
I can give them a listening (Parachute album), but let's give our FORUM SENION MEMBERS opportunity to earn their credit as well.
Who of you guys wants to try doing biography, get photo somewhere through google.images.com and then seek info and add biography once they'll be added ?
By the way, what subgenre ?

Thats 006.5 %Marty we are talking Prog Related but don't do any work until someone ( Sc) sends the application to Admin for approval. I do not know enough about these guys so will leave it up to another SC.
EDIT: PROTO PROG

I myself found them today, so I'm not the one suitable to handle their addition, but if they'll be found worthy of some of our Prog (or almost Prog - PROTO/RELATED) categories, I wanted to give chance to members here to help. Outsource our work a little bit, give them a hint what's our daily bread (most of us does few biographies on weekly basis) etc.
But what do you mean Dean by double O and what do you Chris mean by 006.5% ?
Indeed, SC has to send application, as in case with Stewart Copeland and Ray Manzarek is currently going on. Who will it be, that's not so sure as of now.
