Buckethead

Yep, before you know it we're all going to have to wear buckets on our heads...

LOL! It finally happened: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=9353. More info here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=101955. 

I went on a Buckethead binge and got a few more albums than I really need in my collection.  Not so fond of the metal heavy stuff - Funnel Weaver, Cuckoo Clocks of Hell, maybe Bucketheadland 2.   He's put out a few really good eclectic albums and those are my favorites -  Giant Robot, Monsters and Robots, Bermuda Triangle, population override.  I also like his mellower stuff like Colma and Electric Tears.

I have advocated for his inclusion in the past and I still stand by that.

The ones that are considered more proggy should be listened to a little bit by the members of whatever team is decided...  And then someone would need to make all his albums. We are talking like 90 or something ridiculous like that. This is a project that could take multiple evenings... ESPECIALLY if that person decides to include all the track lengths.

Have you taken a look at the size of his discography lately?

It's not if he should be added,but to what genre.The man has released like 30 albums so far this year,and a lot of them aren't metal.

Buckethead is already here in spots. Octave Of The Holy Innocents comes to mind first.

Were Kiss still Kiss after they stopped using lipsticks ?

Were Floyd still Floyd after Waters departed ?

The name which was can remain even after he'll do such atrocity. I hope he won't do it.

I like the album "colma" by buckethead......just saying, I could handle buckethead being here, but if he is not here I can still listen to "colma" and never ever even wonder if somebody else thinks it is prog rock, peoples get so uptight if their bands do not get admitted to the site, buckethead is too busy to care probably, maybe he has to go down to kfc and score more buckets, do you think it is weird he wears a bucket on his head?

Three pages and a lot of heated debate into this matter, I just wanna reiterate that Epignosis has brought the issue of Buckethead being added to the Eclectic Team, being himself a member, and we ask everyone to give us the time to evaluate the artist properly.
