Rainbow and Iron Maiden under Prog-Metal

Ian Gillan Band under Jazz-Rock Fusion (they made a couple of great albums in the late '70s, before they changed their name to Gillan and started playing hard rock again)

I also agree with A Perfect Circle (I'm not crazy about "Mer de Noms", but I can recognise its quality and prog influences).

And finally, an outright provocation.... what about Talking Heads? Adrian Belew used to play with them, and they're rather progressive, even if not 'prog'

Hi all...

First of all, to the bands already mentioned...

A perfect circle.... possible, i can hear some prog elements in mer de noms, but their follow up (i forgot its name) seemed to be just a repeat performance.

Talking heads... I actually agree.  One of the most proto prog albums i have ever heard is fear of music... and their (or actually David Byrnes) collaboration with brian eno shines thru during their earlier career. (By the way, just bcause Adrian Belew played with them, dosent mean they are prog, although i love his solo stuff)

Iron maiden... Gee i wish this debate would die already... They have no more prog elements than, say Ozzy Ozborne (...and pleeeeeeaaaaaaaase, no one nominate him (am pleading))

David Bowie... Thats a tough one, was he prog, or was he glam and made music for his many images.  Yes, his early stuff was ear candy (Diamond dogs especially)... Hell if so, then under 'space rock' but only if you can separate his early career (from space oddisy to Scary Monsters) from the crud he made in the 80's (he must have ran out of money).

Dead Can Dance... Of course

Now for a suggestion I made b4.

Einsturzende Neubauten - Under Kraut Rock. Pleeeaaasssee

Thanking u in advance. May all wonderments progress (pardon the pun).
I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long.

Do they have keyboards and make-up ?     Stunning solos and sensitive, complex phrasing ?

Traffic, definitely, in proto-prog. Or prog-related. Or even prog-folk.

They're in under prog-folk.

Architecture in Helsinki ( pop prog)

Cocteau Twins (art rock or prog related)

Fernhill  (Prog Folk)
There stands Olias to outward to build a ship
Holding within all we hope to retain
The frame will be so built to challenge the universe
Clasped with the skins of the fish of the plain

Donīt get me wrong I love QUEEN  but I think BOWIE has more prog elements in his music, if you donīt think so, see the evolution with his music, every album has something different.




Got to agree with Bowie for Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust.

Also what about Roxy Music for the first 3 albums and the Welsh Wizards MAN

I agree, Symbolic is one hell of a prog metal album...
Human beings were created by water to carry it uphill.

Absolutely agree with the Cocteau Twins, everything up to and including "Blue bell Knoll" is worthy of inclusion... especially 'victorialand'.  Am interested in why u have nominated 'Architecture...'.  Love them too, but, is pop prog????
