Well, shall we really get into what is and isn't prog again? On a forum where Black Sabbath and Fairport Convention are included.
Avantasia are prog metal band with only concept albums. |

^^ oh come on... they aren't even on this site as Prog related and I'm sure were rejected for inclusion on a couple of occasions in the past. Just because Tobi wrote a couple of 10 minuters, doesn't make them in the slightest bit prog...

I'm not getting into it. Dozens of bands on here that aren't prog or even prog related.
No one has a working definition of prog, so it remains entirely subjective. |

Yes, they were rejected. Three most known metal sites list the band as symphonic power metal or power metal. I'm not at all surprised they were rejected in all honesty.

I concur completely Cristi, but I can see 'J's argument from the standpoint that early on in PA's history, the Collabs let in Nightwish, Epica, Rhapsody, Blind Guardian and After Forever amongst others who clearly shouldn't be here. On that basis, it's quite reasonable to ask 'what about Avantasia then?', but then if you let them in, what about Edguy, Helloween, Gamma Ray or Lanfear? Orden Ogan wrote a loose concept, Stratovarius have written 10 minuters... and before you know it, we have a power metal avalanche..
