Steve Vai and Roger Waters are my favorite prog-related artists. Eno should be here just for relevence to the prog scene, if not for perticularly progressive music. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

My favorite prog-related artist is Adrian Belew, it doesn't much better than The Twang Bar King. -------------

Hopefully everyone's gotten over the arguement of whether or not Radiohead/Queen/others are prog or not. I don't like it much but I really don't like debating things much anymore. It's futile. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

The first ELO album is one of the best prog debuts I've heard. Their three next outings also qualifies as prog. Radiohead is the most important Progressive Rock band of the '00's imo.

| The Beatles and Deep Purple are in proto-prog, not prog-related. |

| Just one comment. Queen is definitely not prog at least in their current incarnation. I saw them in concert and except for a few great songs they were mostly mediocre arena rock. |

These are all prog-related. Not sure how 'borderline'
they all are, but if you like prog some of them should appeal: The Doors Sparks 10cc Blue Oyster Cult Wishbone Ash Led Zeppelin Locomotive Rainbow Toto Steeleye Span ------------- "It's 1973, almost dinnertime and I'm 'aving 'oops!" - Gene Hunt |

Not all in the database here. Should that be so? But for me they're borderline. Even someone like Stevie Wonder, who comes from a soul background and made some albums in the seventies which are very close to prog, IMHO obviously. |

Beach Boys should probably be here under proto-prog, because the Beatles are there as well. |

Radiohead, The Beatles, Queen, Supertramp, Death, Styx, Nightwish, Atheist... sorry coudlnt think of ten for the time being. I don't even consider those bands borderline, they just plain arent prog. To think that they are here and not some of the more truly prog-related stuff like Led Zeppelin and the Doors. |

Indeed..Queen are simply not prog so theres no need for a debate. |

If Radiohead are not prog, then neither are The Mars Volta. Anyway I prefer the expression "Art rock" for both.

Yes, I agree. Someone was on drugs when they added Triumph. Because they are Canadian and sound vaguely like Rush in their less Proggy moments ? I was born on Canada Day (July 1st)- can I be listed under "prog related" ? ------------- Fire up the flux capacitor ! We're taking this Delorean through all four dimensions.

Out of Prog Archives I love his shows, but the music IMO is mostly weak and boring, if it wasn't for the apectacular shows (Houston - Lyon is fabulous) nobody would care for him in the Prog World. Maybe Prog Related at the most. Iván -------------

Why Micky? Aren't we allowed to have an individual and unique taste? There was a Jarre long thread long time ago ( http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1913&KW=Jarre - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1913&a mp;KW=Jarre ), you should check it, there was a lot of people who disagree with my opinion, but another good number that agrees. That's the central point of a forum, I would hate to be part of a Forum where somebody says X band is awesome and 30 replies saying "Yes it's true". That's a fan club and I would never join another one again (The Genesis Forum was a problem, you weren't allowed to find a flawed song, everything had to be perfect, that's why I don't visit it for almost 2 years).

Why? Whats your rationale for this? I don't like either band, but how does Radiohead not being prog make TMV not? Last time I checked, Radiohead didn't record 30 minute songs, use technical instrument playing, etc. My point is, there is a vast difference between Radiohead and TMV... one has proggy qualities, and the other has artsy qualities, but nothing that resembles any generally accepted prog band I've heard. |

If X band is here, Why not Y band.....Absurd If A band is not Prog, then B band neither....As absurd as the first one. Lets value each band for it's own merits, I may agree or not with Queen or Radiohead inclusion (Most probably not), but I would never say ok guys if Radiohead is here then Led Zeppelin also Both bands are different, no copnnection and even if one addition is a mistake, why in hell should we make another? I believe Led Zeppelin is at least Prog Related, but if I want their inclusion I rather read ten reasons why they should be here and not a list of 10 less Prog bands added by mistake as an excuse.

Of course there are two "borderlines" here ... between "not-prog-at-all" and "prog-related", and between "prog-related" and "prog". ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:
