Aren't CSNY Considered Prog?

Pat,  I think Cacho was serious when suggesting CSNY, and wasn't just acting on the basis of 'I like them, so they must be prog'. This way, we're going to run people off, if we always think they are the village idiots.

That said, this is NOT going to stop until a clear addition policy is made. I have reviewed more PR albums than probably anyone else, but every time I have clearly stated if and when they were actually related to prog. Personally, I think the category is good and useful to have, but it should have been much clearer-cut than it is right from the very start. As things are now, I am sure we all realise that the sky's the limit - and it's not going to stop unless we stop complaining, and take some affirmative action.

I'm certainly not here to insult our new members - like I said, it's more of a general statement, posting it in this thread was probably bad form.  He also knew enough to suggest them for prog-related.  Like Raf said, suggestions for PR is becoming more of a problem - perhaps a policy that closes the category to recommendations, as we've said many times the possibility of a flood of suggestions seems likely otherwise.

as I've said.. I don't agree or care for PR.. but we have it.. so we have to live with it.  Raff is correct in that there is a problem with suggestions for PR.. but man alive..  the problem isn't with the forum.  There is no guidance or guidelines FOR PR additions.  I tried to spell out what I think the admins and owner are doing.. and I think I am pretty close to dead on.  But the forum?  They can't be blamed.. the additions probably look as arbitrary and capricious as hell to them.

okay sorry !! for second or third time. I was wrong I was just wanting to see people opinions...although if they were all negative and I wasn't expecting anyone to tell me that Yes! let's introduce them but just wanted to know members and also admins opinions. I didn't wanted to argue a fight or anything.

P.S: I'm not a serious fan of CSNY I'm really of Deep Purple and I would have never said Deep Purple to be in PA if they weren't.

Peace?

Yupii! ....................

In my mind, CSN&Y is prog-related (i do associate it with Prog but that has something to do with the music I was listening to when I was young, I didn't think of Prog, and amongst the music I liked you'd find CSN and CCR, Cream, The Doors, Santana, Yes, Gryphon etc. so the music is asoociated based on childhood experiences of listening to and digging Prog and non-prog), as are Simon Garfunkle to an extent, and Donovan more-so.  I would like to see CSN and CSNY here at some time under some category (maybe Prog Folk/ Rock Related), but under the current set-up, it's not something I would suggest.

A great deal of non-Prog music is prog-related, the question is how closely related is it, and how much of that association comes from personal experience?  I think we might have a stronger case with the folk/rock and psychadelic the Byrds (for proto-Prog in this case) -- I mention because of Crosby's involvement particularly.

Interesting thinkg about CSN is that everyone I knew who enjoyed Prog bands also liked them; whereas, the same couldn't be said of classic groups such as Foreigner  at the time in my experience.

Please check my post in the Cream thread addressing the same issues.. I think Greg is right, but lots of people here don't, and until a clear policy is implemented, PP and PR additions are bound to be extremely divisive, not to say disruptive.

hahhahahah...  peace and love rules...

hahaha.. I think so...
