Why?  Whats your rationale for this?  I don't like either band, but how does Radiohead not being prog make TMV not?  Last time I checked, Radiohead didn't record 30 minute songs, use technical instrument playing, etc.

My point is, there is a vast difference between Radiohead and TMV... one has proggy qualities, and the other has artsy qualities, but nothing that resembles any generally accepted prog band I've heard.

If X band is here, Why not Y band.....Absurd

If A band is not Prog, then B band neither....As absurd as the first one.

Lets value each band for it's own merits, I may agree or not with Queen or Radiohead inclusion (Most probably not), but I would never say ok guys if Radiohead is here then Led Zeppelin also

Both bands are different, no copnnection and even if one addition is a mistake, why in hell should we make another?

I believe Led Zeppelin is at least Prog Related, but if I want their inclusion I rather read ten reasons why they should be here  and not a list of 10 less Prog bands added by mistake as an excuse.

they all are, but if you like prog some of them should
appeal:

The Doors (great, very influential band)
Sparks (I don't know enough of them to judge)
10cc (another great, underrated band)
Blue Oyster Cult (among my all-time favourites)
Wishbone Ash (excellent)
Led Zeppelin
Locomotive (don't know them)
Rainbow (up to "Long Live Rock'n'Roll", among the very best)
Toto (too poppy for my taste, but great musicians nonetheless)
Steeleye Span (fantastic folk-rock band, with great female vocals)

I would also add Supertramp and Pentangle, while I'm not a big fan of Queen. As to Deep Purple... they absolutely rule!!!

  6. queen
  7. roxy music
  8. steve vai
  9. brian eno
  10. syd barrett

Of course there are two "borderlines" here ... between "not-prog-at-all" and "prog-related", and between "prog-related" and "prog".
