Talk:Timeline of progressive rock and progressive metal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on 25/2/2006. The result of the discussion was keep.

This page should be used as a companion to the progressive rock page on Wikipedia. I thought it would be nice for people to be able to get a glimpse of how the genre has continued to develop from its inception to present times. This will be a timeline outlining those events.

PLEASE try to confine the entries to important and notable developments in the genre. Try to resist the inclination to list your own favorite band unless you feel it's made a relevent or important contribution to the genre, or is widely regarded as a classic. KEEP THIS PAGE AGENDA FREE!

Note this page is no longer restricted to events since 2001. Bondegezou 12:38, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Would the addition of Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation be considered unacceptable? I was just wondering, due to the inclusion of Radiohead? Possibly Moon Safari by Air? Makrugaik

Sonic Youth? Great band, Daydream Nation is a great album but I don't think they could be considered progressive rock unless you stretch the definition to the breaking point. Moon Safari, with its sonic ties to Pink Floyd would be OK, IMO.

Also, Can has Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi but not Future Days?!?! I really think that great album should be added.(Sorry, don't know how to add my user name, this is my first time in joining an editing discussion).

Quidam is linked to the wrong Quidam namely the happening from Cirque du Soleil in stead of the Polish band see [1] Qqq1 11:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC) (from the Netherlands) I think this has been fixed. The link now references "Quidam (band)" which still needs to be created. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Btrhoads (talk • contribs) 12:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Under 1975 Albums, Harmonium's Si On Avait Besoin d'Une Cinquième Saison should read it's from Canada, not Quebec, I'd say. Both ways are technically accurate, but the former would fit better with the spirit of the rest of the page. (12:56 EST, April 15 2007)

Hmm! Upon further observation, Harmonium was just the first of a long list. There are about a dozen of Quebec bands which should see their country of origin switched to Canada, or at least so I think. (13:11 EST, April 15 2007)

[edit] Progessive Metal, Yes or No?

I see we have some progressive metal bands on the list, notably Dream Theater. If they are going to be on this list then I believe all Prog Metal bands should be as well. If that cannot be agreed then I nominate that Dream Theater be removed from the list except for their one album which was true Prog Rock.

You can add progressive metal dont worry. You can add bands and albums of artists of all progresive rock genres and sub-genres. M.V.E.i. 19:43, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beatles and Who

Added the Beatles for their early experimentation and The Who for their rock opera works to the "1962 - 1967 newly formed bands" section. Don't remove. It's kind of silly to have a chapter titled "1962 - 1967" where the first entry is from 1964. It's also silly to remove the Beatles and The Who when their albums are listed in the ensuing years.74.77.208.52 20:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notes on the timeline

Would it be useful to have short notes on the timeline? For example, for the first section, there could be a note that The Beatles were very influential on the genre (but are not generally considered a prog band) or on why acts like the Daevid Allen Trio and Uriel are historically significant despite being short-lived? If no-one objects, I'll start doing some. Bondegezou 09:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Gabriel and Genesis

It says that in 1974 Peter gabriel left genesis, then it says, with much more information, that in 1975 peter gabriel left genesis. Which is correct? Ashe613 (talk) 21:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
