How is there 19 mentions of the Beatles yet only 4 mentions of Frank Zappa and Soft Machine on an article about progressive rock??? It feels like total revisionism, the Beatles should be mentioned in passing for the influence of Sgt. Pepper. There's no reason Rubber Soul should be mentioned here, when an album like Freak Out! made use of 2 8+ minute songs with a wide range of diverse influences.

The 2010-2020s section is quite short. I think this needs to be expanded and updated. There is an orange "sources may not verify text" banner at the top of the "Proto-prog and psychedelia" section, placed in 2016. Z1720 (talk) 16:12, 22 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Which one removing Brutal prog? I removed it because none of the sources cited it as a subgenre of avant-prog or subgenre of progressive rock in general. The pitchfork source stated it was a blend of punk, jazz, skronk, metal and improv music. Aradicus77 (talk) 19:06, 8 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
