Suggestions for possible changes to the list are welcome, as always.

Oh, and one more thing: The Ska Punk battle, having been voted down 3 times by now or receieved "three strikes" as it were, will be moved from the "Future battles" list into the section for "Canceled battles" for now, but may be revived at any point if it is requested by someone.

That's all for now, so merry Christmas to you all until we next reconvene!

Can we get Gentle Giant Octopus into the Prog line up?

[Lexi Darling]

Can we get Gentle Giant Octopus into the Prog line up?

I wholeheartedly support this as well.

Can we get Gentle Giant Octopus into the Prog line up?

That one was in the Symphonic Prog battle, so no, sadly. Feel free to suggest any other GG album though, and which album in the list you think should be swapped out for it.

[Lexi Darling]

I'd say Power and the Glory is closest to the others stylistically as classic prog and it's iconic even though it's not my favorite non-Octopus album.

We could certainly make that happen but what album should we chuck out to make room for it? At a glance it looks like ELP or Kansas might be the most dispensable, but I would like to hear y'alls opinion as well before I make the call and settle it.

Thanks! And I would remove Kansas.

[DJChameleon]

Yes chuck Kansas away. I agree.

[Psy-Fi]

Definitely Kansas.
