                       \***************************/

First of all, let this serve as a reminder for Progressive Rock Survey II.  If
you did not see my original posting, please send netmail to me at the address
below and I will forward a copy of the survey to you. The idea is to compile a
list of information on as many progressive bands (and other bands of interest
to the progressive listener) for distribution.  The final compilation will
serve as a guide for you to discover other progressive bands.  Currently, I
plan to end the survey at the end of February, so you still have plenty of
time to get your responses in.  Don't worry if you only have one CD or record
from a band.  Offer your opinion about it so that others can benefit.  The
more of you that participate, the better off the final compilation, hence the
final user, will be.  Do your part and send in your contribution.  And sincere
thanks to those who have already sent in a response.


A BRIEF NOTE:

I couldn't return notes of thanks to the following two people -
AB         at    lsil!mhost!em22s!bhatia@fernwood.mpk.ca.us
Don Becker at    jaflrn!grendel@uunet.UU.NET

I don't know how to work around the bang (!) in an address.  Anyway, I got
your responses.  Thanks.

The response has been very favorable, so far.  Replies continue to come in at
a steady pace.  Already, we have nearly doubled the size of the first survey,
and I expect a lot more responses to come in over the next several weeks.
Along with many bands in the list, several more have been suggested.  In fact,
93 additional bands have been suggested, bringing the total list of bands and
artists to 1185.  Whew!  I offer them to you, with the following comment:

Several of you have commented that some of the bands in the list may not be
progressive.  Indeed, some probably aren't, but everyone has a different view
of what is or what is not progressive.  Also, I can't filter out bands of
which I know nothing, or little, as it would mean imposing my own philosophy
ow what is and what is not progressive.  If there is a band below or on the
original list that you feel is not progressive, say so when you write
something up about that band.  However, most of these should be of interest to
many progressive listeners.  But don't think you can sneak anything by me.  I
try to check out most of them and will remove some bands, such as alternative
bands, the common bands that I asked not to have submitted, etc.  Please add
these to the list and consider writing something about some of them.
