Despite any forays that these artists have done ( including Youngs foray into Electronica in the mis 80's), their sounds are typically opposites and they were just an example. We could get many bands and apply a 'six degrees of separation' rule to them all in order to disprove the need for genre tags.
I really dont understand the fuss about the prog forum when a Hardcore/Emo subforum has existed for a long time yet it is accepted that the need for this sub forum is ok. The simple fact is, is that you can differentiate bewteen Rock and Metal and many fans who like classic rock cannot abide the heavier side of music and vise versa, so this is for both posters who dont want to wade through umpteen metal threads.
