I vote we randomly remove every other Rush, Magma, Mandalaband and DT album from the archives. Would be way more fun.

Jefferson Airplane? Progressive , hmmm I guess in a way but the West Coast scene really cannot qualify as progressive as say Yes, KC or Genesis. Long blown out live jams a prog band does not make .

I couldn't agree more...  did not agree with that one much as I LOVE that group and would be Jack Casady's man-whore at the drop of a hat..  Though.. they were not added as a prog band Thomas.. but something just as ridiculous.  As proto-prog.  Anyone ever read a write-up on the origins of prog.  Had not a damn thing to do with the Airplane.. or any of the stuff on the Left Coast. 

And opened the ..hahahha.. doors for other bands that made just as little sense here.

Actually they were! Sold millions of records worldwide. KC is a different story because they transcended different styles (hence KC Marks I, II, III and IV ) . I was referring to the Dead, Hot Tuna, Spirit and the many other West Coats bands that enjoyed psychedelic rampages that were progressive at a time when everything WAS progressive! Wink

Thus KC are the archetypal prog band.......transcending all genres and beating all contenders..

I was going to take that out of context and make a dirty joke about Kate Bush until I realized that axes and women don't mix well... Unless you're into that kind of thing. Where's Micky? Wink


Anyways, I'm with some of the people earlier in this thread. Prog Related is NOT PROG! It has a RELATION TO IT, prog related artists will be of interest to people who like prog, doesn't mean it is prog. End of rant that's already been done 100 times before LOL

Since its been done 100 times , maybe a nice long mellotron sweep in the background would be wholly appropriate , just to add a little drama to the routine. Cool add a little audio to the thead. Hahahaha

Oh yes, despite the fact that The Beatles pretty much laid the groundwork for progressive rock and did all kinds of things to actually PROGRESS rock music to a whole new level, let's get rid of them! Yeah, tr00 prog like Muse, Radiohead, Tool, and Blind Guardian 4ever!!!!!!1!!

First, some of the bands mention here are not commercial, second ,none of the bands from the list i want to be deleted, maybe Radiohead, some of them have prog background in the early days, like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc, later become something else , this is another discussion.   In stead of adding prog bands that are real prog you now must delet bands that shoudn't be here in a first place.

I was all set to vote for Roxy Music when I noticed the presence of Black Sabbath,  Let's kick out the AntiProggers!

This just shows a lack of understanding of proto-prog and prog-related.
