I'll tell Micky ,so he can chime in tonight and say if he wants to write the bio himself. I suppose he and Dean would like to have him moved to Xover, but that can come later.

I support Bowie's induction to the prog archives hall of flame!
I'll be glad to see him in.

I initially started writing from a progrelated perspective, but I agree crossover prog suits him just fine.
I PM'd an initial start, needs reworking on several elements, I hope to have a full draft ready tomorow.

You do know this is going to cause an album review flood of epidemic proportions...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Yes. And a hypothetical inclusion of, let's say, Metallica would cause a deluge! Personally, I don't mind a few floods here and there, especially if caused by Bowie!

I thought Easy said that Bowie was approved for PR.

Ah, I didn't take that as sign it really would happen. Do you really think Bowie belongs in a full prog sub-grenre?

I think it would be much better if he stayed on prog-related genre forever.

I would have thought first Psych/Space prog, but surely the most suitable would be Prog Related, even though I don't know his stuff.

I'm not too familiar with David Bowie but I always considered him to be "art rock" based on hearsay.
Anyhow, I am listening to his Best of Bowie compilation album (US version since it appears he had many versions). I was just listening to the song Fashion, which didn't sound familiar to me, but while listening to it, it felt like it had a bit of a Crimson sound to it. Anyhow, I just checked on AllMusic and Robert Fripp is given a credit on David Bowie's Scary Monsters album. Did Robert just appear on that one song (I assume he was on that song) or did he play more on that album?

Following career paths, I would say that Bowie's inclusion would justify Alice Cooper entry. The first two albums on Zappa's labels are proto-psych prog, the next 4 are full of concepts, story lines, extended multi-part compositions, all delivered with a theatricality that rivaled Peter Gabriel for character development.
I await the deluge, and go back to the Coop's CDs to prepare my case.

 Not that I disagree with your argument, though.
