Shut down progarchives

[Michael Rawdon]

Wow, this thread frightened me at first. I love ProgArchives - I go there frequently to learn about artists I've recently heard about (whether hearing a track here on the Moon or elsewhere). As long as it's covering the core of prog and has a good breadth of material, what is there to complain about? I think it's a great site. Any site with user contributions is going to range afield of what any particular person thinks is "prog", but I don't think that's a bad thing.

And honestly, the first time I heard Madonna's "Don't Tell Me" - having no idea who the artist was until after the song was over - it sounded rather neo-proggy to me. Even mainstream pop artists can make good music.
