This is ridiculous in my opinion. Not only is their less than 5 prog bands, Kerrang have sold out.
Does anybody agree? I'm sure you do.
A complete and utter crap list for 90%.
Now.... Discuss.

"Okay, so Kerrang gave its viewers the chance to vote on their favourite
band or a band they thought was the 'best ever'. 300,000 votes were
made and the results are here."
Therefore, Kerrang have done nothing. Their readers have "sold out" as you exclaim. I am fine with the list. I can't stand very many of the bands, and none of my favorite bands are on there. But, it is just a list. Big deal, someone or some group of people like certain things you don't. Doesn't make what you like any better or worse.
It is a subjective opinion. No such thing as best, really. Not in this context.

Why are you so outraged by this? It's a list compiled by the readers of a rock mag which is most definitely NOT targeting a prog-fan audience. It's hardly surprising that a bunch of teenage metal fans neglected to mention King Crimson in a top 100 list, is it?

Absolutely right. The magazine started off targeting a more adult market, but basically now targets the teenage angst metal market. Nothing wrong with that - hopefully, most of them will grow up to appreciate more of the music we love on this site - I know I did. I'm pleasantly surprised there were five on the list

Why do people have to like what we do? Why is their musical taste so... "inferior"? "You like what you like" friend. I think that while most don't buy into it, there are still quite a few of those "holier-than thou" progressive music listeners. Not that it is much of a big deal either way. I suppose it is that way with all things.

I assure I enjoy that top 100 more than our own top 100....
Maybe I'm on the wrong site after all... or maybe that "arrogant proggie" thing that people are talking about in the prog lounge has finally hit the "enough" button....

I'm... speechless. This only enforces my suspicions that Kerrang! own no real musical knowledge at all.

I was hoping Black Dahlia Murder or Cattle Decapitation would make the list, at least Hinder...
I'd say there maybe 10 bands on this list that I listen to or would consider listening to, I must be behind the times

NIN at #4, not bad. I'm impressed by such a, as you say, 'sellout' magazine.

Seriously, am I the only person that finds it ridiculous that people care whether these lists have prog bands on them or not? Can't people just enjoy GOOD music, and not give a sh*t if it's prog or not? I like a fair number of the bands on the list, because I think they make GOOD music. Who gives a f**k if it's prog or not? People need to get over this attitude that prog is somehow inherently superior, it's a sickening attitude. And this is coming from a Collaborator of Prog Archives, no less.

True, it does take knives or razors to cut ones self.

There's post-1989 bands in there: this list has zero credibility.

Oh no, a stupid reader poll, let's all waste time being upset because that will surely accomplish something! Next let's make another thread about the Rolling Stone Best 500 Albums list! MAN, WHY ISN'T ITCOTCK RATED HIGHER?

Well I think it's pretty clear that MCR, 30 Seconds to Mars, HIM, Paramore, Evanescence, Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, etc. are not good music. I once unintentionally laughed out loud when a girl at college said she liked Fall Out Boy. It was an awkward moment.

She just looked at me for a second and then kept talking to the other person. I saw her a couple more times, she didn't seem to hold it against me. I don't mind people listening to Fall Out Boy (hell, I used to like freaking Linkin Park), but I think at some point you should outgrow that. It's like an adult reading Twilight.
