Rush is THE PROGRESSIVE ROCK band. Back in the day nobody called them that but looking back on them they are. Tons of songs in odd time signatures, long songs with tons of parts awesome playing it is all there.
Bands like Genesis and Yes were considered "Art Rock" when they came out and were even lumped in with acts like David Bowie (during his Ziggy period). They were in a different category.
