suggestions.... groups to be moved OUT of

just curious as to everyones thoughts...

as we noted in the PR thread.. there exists here a severe amount of confusion as to the nature of P-R.  In my time here... I have seen full prog groups added there  for lack of a  sub-genre that matches there music exactly, with no sense of 'best fit'  so they would be dumped into PR.  There are many groups presently in PR that did prog albums.. but are not 'thought' of as prog groups.  Since this site is about prog music... not a career overview site like Allmusic.  It should be the prog that is important..


Moving groups out, is not exactly a priority of the genre teams. .since we are bombarded with new suggestions for addtion,  those that come through the Band Submissions Team, threads here,  our fellow collabs directly, or of course our our explorations.  However I am curious and would like to involve the general forum.. .what groups currently in PR do you think should be moved to other sub-genres.. and which ones.

I know I failed to deliver a promise about this, but I still support the initial idea: Crossover needs Rick Wright! 

I feel like opening a Pandora brand can of worms







Coheed and Cambria




just kidding, but hell, if 3's in crossover, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be
my 2 cents
which are now equal to 1.6 Canadian cents

I have.... but have been busy with team business... and just really hadn't got to it.  You can add them if you wish... doesn't matter who does really

There are quite some artists in PR who have done one or more 100% prog albums, but were directed to PR in order to avoid trouble since they're not considered prog artists. Still, theoretically they should be in prog sub-genres, according to the rules... I'm thinking of Jon Anderson (Olias?.....), Jeff Beck (jazz-rock?), I'm sure there some more.

lots more.... like I said... just curious as to what everyone thinks...

great suggestion Bob....

Sorry, folks, but I had to hide some posts here... I believe that the way the conversation was going fits better via PM or at least in the CZ.

Wait a second, Claypool's Oysterhead is here but none of his other non Primus projects?  Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel, Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, Les Clayool (self titled)?

You forgot one act that is in Proto-Prog, but which would fit Heavy Prog to a T.... A British band formed in the late '60 and still active nowadays, famous for its many line-up changes and for having created one of the seminal rock riffs. They had  a hell of a Hammond organ player, and at least four of their albums are prog - not to mention the numerous references to our beloved genre in many of the following albums.

Did you guess?
