Some of the best known prog bands Yes, Pink Floyd and Kansas for example have had hits and songs that have been extremely easy on the ear, melodic and not really prog, but these bands are very representative of the prog genre.
I agree, I've only seen Rush mentioned once in Wikipedia, or some other article pertaining to the subject progressive rock. The genre classification for Rush is, hard rock, progressive rock, & heavy metal. I agree with the Hard Rock, concerning early Rush, but progressive rock wins, for me personally.
