Thumbs up Go

I'm for adding Bowie, although it would have to be selected tracks. "Space Oddity" would be a definite add - f/Wakeman and written by Bowie trying to imitate the sound of the Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd (his own words).

As for the station's profile... Well, everyone has a different definition of progressive rock, but mine is anything that is rock that is artistically far and above the norm. I prefer the term art-rock.

I like a diverse slice of music. I'm for adding avante-garde prog like Bowie, the earlier Floyd stuff (I'm for all Floyd), and I'm for SOME prog-metal - Queensryche (selected songs), Dream Theater, King's X, Platypus, LTE, etc., as long as it's good. I would love to listen to AM and hear completely different sounds from one track to the next, but still be able to say, "Yep, that's prog."
