You know, I had a list like that and I was going to post it, but my dog ate it.

Have you posted it in the forum then? If so, where is it please?


I will not post the list in the forum, because I've already posted some bands of it and they were completely ignored. Otherwise, when people posted suggestions like The Police, these suggestions got many replies, with many people cheering the progressive qualities of The Police and the others.

This, together with some collabs that think they are owners of the site and every other collab that suggested a band the he felt was not progressive was trying to flood PA with non-prog while they themselves were flooding the genres they are considered specialists with non-prog bands in my opinion, made me lose all the interest I had in collaborating with anything in the site.

^ that is what is wrong here....  anyone clued Akin in that anyone.. especially collabs can suggest bands directly to the genre teams they feel might fit best.

there is not reason for any band to go ignored....

Akin, it is only natural that popular bands such as the Police will be commented on more than less well known ones. I don't understand your reluctance to post your list though. You complain that your suggestions are ignored, but deny us the opportunity to examine a list of over 100 bands who according to you are prog bands who should be listed here. That is not collaborating. It is quite possible that many of the bands have been considered. I am sure the various teams will be delighted to tell you if this is the case.
 
The rest of your post is disrespectful to the hard work done by our collaborators, without who the site would not be all that it is now. I don't think any of us would maintain that the site is perfect, but it is pretty damn good though.

That's exactly why I am not collaborating anymore, except for the reviews, but just because M@x invited me personally. I will not wasting my time anymore searching info, discography and even samples to no one.

And the rest of the post, that you say is disrespectful, is the price paid for giving a "God like" status to some collabs, that permitted then to say the things I mentioned without ever being asked to treat the others with respect, respect the others' work and help the site as whole, not only concerning about his genre "feud". This bothered some people here and they all jumped off the ship, including me. Now, ask these collabs to find more prog bands to the site.

I think we'll stop there, this thread has run its course anyway.
