There are so many very easy jokes I could make about this latest thread of discussion but I digress.
I enjoy reading PA though, it was instrumental for me getting into Prog over the last 3-4 years. I do agree that having the subgenre assigned by artist instead of by album is odd and creates contradictions when bands change their style. I wonder, however, what would happen to the '80s pop-era albums of our favorite '70s classics if this were the case; would PA have to invent a "non-prog" for these, or leave them off the site entirely? It doesn't matter since they can't change from artist to album due to the way the database was made.
As for the site's design, I hope it never changes. Modern web design is so bleh, I miss the garish colors and small text and funny little icons that were on the internet of my childhood, but I realize I'm in the minority who prefers computers over phones for reading online. I wouldn't mind if they made the site more functional or secure, just don't make it sleek and minimalist please, thanks.
Well, I have to admit, I prefer my desktop computer for internet over my tablet. Don't have a smartphone. Computers rule for me. Easy to handle, quick and no touch-screen that doesn't do what I want. Just like I prefer a seperate camera over the camera in my tablet with no real button to press. With my normal digital cameras I feel it when I press the shutter-button.
