How is this Prog?

oooooooooooooooooo this will be fun. 

I don't really understand how Miley Cyrus is prog

Answer 1: I couldn't care less. If it's good music, it's good music, it doesn't need a label. (I don't even like the term "prog" - "progressive" for a genre that had its best times in the 70s, with fans that were getting all upset when bands actually *progressed* to doing something else in the 80s?)

Answer 2 (which actually contradicts answer 1): I always thought that I'd have to stretch things to find even 10% prog (in a "good proggy music" sense ) in David Bowie's huge discography, and I have a hard time understanding why all his albums get hundreds of mostly good ratings here. (I understand somewhat better how some people like his non-prog stuff in a non-prog way, but still...)

Enough of the chicken s**t answers. How is BOC prog? (micky?)

Should be moved to "Just for Fun"

(BOC are under prog-related)

Ok,  but are you sure you want to put Miley Cyrus under Just For Fun?

But is Madonna more prog than Miley? That's the important question.

That one should actually be directed to Raff...but the sh*t she had to put up with that addition she may have to had repress the memories.

Didn't read previous post, sry

BOC = Blue Oyster Cult.

And as has been previously mentioned are listed under prog related and not a prog category.  I suppose the explanation is that although not entirely prog themselves, they were influential to heavy prog and prog metal bands.

Also, from their PA page biography:  Why this artist must be listed in www.progarchives.com :
BLUE ÖYSTER CULT have always had many things in common with prog, from the lyrics and subject matter of their songs to their extensive use of keyboards - not to mention the complex structure of many of their best tracks.
