^ Yeah, I'm still hesitating.

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

Prog-rock is for me a subcategory of rock and the examples above do not sound very 'rock' to me. More like experimental-pop or experimental-avantgarde similar to Laurie Anderson.

Well, Laurie Anderson was added to Crossover recently (a case I supported very strongly).

I love her album Big Science and that album is why I particularly hoped for her admission to PA (not that liking something really is good enough reason to want something in PA, but it does make one more enthusiastic).

These are experimental, but it doesn't mean that they should be in PA (though I would like to see these composers, amongst others, on PA in a new category):

If Laurie Anderson is here and Bjork is coming I can present again some of the artists rejected months ago...

This one for example...

but to be honest, I have the impression that the borders of crossover are becoming a bit too wide. 

I totally agree with Logan. A new category seems to be a good idea (even if I don't know how it could be defined).

I think I've been voting for Björk to be added in every poll for the past 5 years.


Here's a new song of her for a film. Love it too.

OK, YES vote from me. Anyone from you people willing to make good biography for her ?

Speaking as a team member, the borders of crossover a bit too wide because the other subs have been a bit too narrow.  Not to knock anyone, the variety of opinions is what makes this site more fun.  However, last time I checked neither Laurie or Bjork are here yet.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

That's my mistake.  I knew that Crossover had accepted Laurie Anderson (unless there's been some change) and thought you'd already added her (and he's not saying that Bjork is here yet, but it looked to me as if Bjork is on the way or at least accepted).

EDIT: According to the Crossover charts, both Laurie Anderson and Bjork are now cleared for addition, and that's what is really relevant to Octopus' post as I see it.

I agree with you, too, but nobody and nothing is perfect. I like PA as it is. If it can be enhanced, better, but as user I'm happy enough.

However I don't think Bjork is prog Wink

No and no.

1)Only Special Collaborators can add artist, ergo they can add biographies.

2)If I ask someone who knows her music very well to write a biography, he can do it. Then he gives it to me and I (being only Collaborator, not SC) will pass it on Special Collaborator, who will actually add the artist.

That's how it works.

^ Umm, yes. If admins will agree with Bjork addition to Crossover, she'll be added. For this, we need a biography. Someone has to write it. If it's me, you or one of members here, it doesn't matter. The important thing is quality biography.

Even if she'll end up in Prog - Related (it's possibility), she will need biography.



This is why this job is perfect for those who suggested her - they're usually fans who have extensive knowledge about her work.

And me simply answering. Let's leave it at this. Site always needs eager people ... you just said it so definitely and because it's not true, I corrected you.
