Since I saw that King Crimson was moved from the Symphonic prog to Art
rock (It kinda makes more sence) I was thinking of maybe also changing
Van Der Graaf Generator to Art rock also since they both share some
similarities particularly in their heavy sound and that they are not so
symphonic (KC was only symphonic in their Sinfield era IMO).
What are your opinions on this topic?

I think Van Der Graaf should have their own subsection - "Super Prog" :)

I was never very happy with VdGG in "Symphonic", to be honest, but is
"Art Rock" the right place for them (or for King Crimson)? both bands
had way too many phases to be put under a single moniker. in fact these
two bands (and Gong) are the reason why I believe it would be much
better to apply genrés to albums and not to bands

That seems like a great idea. I've been thinking about that for some time now.
How can we rsuggest it to the Admins?

That is not (yet) an option, I don't think that Max will implement that any time soon. In the meantime I'm pretty sure that Art Rock is the best genre for King Crimson AND VdGG. Gentle Giant too, now that I think about it.

So then will Genesis' pop albums just not be on the archives any more?

TAGGING is brilliant idea,if you ask me...better anyway than moving
everything,out of sheer confusion,of sheer diversity with the
discography of a band.
