Ivan, do you believe that there are currently sufficient numbers of non-prog bands in the database (discounting prog-related and proto) to warrant any concerns that PA's integrity as a specialist prog rock site is being undermined ?
 
I believe there are very few outside PR, and PA has it's integity safe...Well, until today.
 
But adding a non Prog genre because "It's intelligent", would be very dangerous IMHO.
 
Imagine Prog Archives with:
  1. Go Go's
  2. Blondie
  3. Kim Carnes
  4. OMD
  5. The Human League
  6. Depeche Mode
  7. Euryrithmics
  8. Mr Mister
  9. Peter Schilling
  10. Thomas Dolby

That's New Wave, which is part of the Post Punk movement, and I believe this bands have no place in PA.

Iván


Of course they don't. I believe the main problem with this thread was suggesting the introduction of a  new subgenre with a very controversial handle, instead of assessing any bands that might have some merit on an individual basis.

one could only dream....  don't you think the first review with a first hand account of having sex with Belinda Carlisle would be worth the price of admission into the hallowed halls of PROG ARCHIVES.

beat hearing about sleeping with Greg Lake LOL

No, it refers to some of those Eighties bands that are commonly placed under the 'new wave' umbrella.
post-punk = experimental wave, whereas new wave = melodic and more "poppy" wave. "New wave" is a misused word that included both post-punk and new wave bands.
I don't think you will find any link between PIL's 'flowers of romance' and Ultravox's "dancing with tears in my eyes".
