I suppose it has something to do with Yes being more symphonic and Rush being more operatic. I've always preferred folky artsy prog to King Crimson-ish hard rock prog.

So I guess now I know why I can't get into Rush. Thanks Jansz
The reason they're different is that Yes were basically a psychedelic band that became a prog one, Rush were a hard rock act that then became a prog one, it was clear both bands were better suited to prog than they were to their respective genres. but of course Rush did try to copy Yes to a degree. The hard rock link with Rush made them very appealing to hard rock and metal fans of the 1970s and 1980s whereas Yes didn't appeal to the same crowd.

I never got too into Fugazi, despite all of their hype amongst the indie and punk scene.
