And like ELP the lyrics aren't really that important, they just let the music do the talking.

I love Rush, though i think they are a little overrated compared to other lesser known but equally talented prog bands.
Right now, Rush is my fav prog, but I'm really liking Camel.

I like a fair few prog bands. I like Rush, ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Genesis. I like some rarer ones like Camel, Atomic Rooster, Goliath, Autumn People, Fuzzy Duck, Egg, Jade Warrior, Art and Gong.

I like some modern prog like Porcupine Tree, LTE and Radiohead. I'm getting into Jethro Tull, more ELO, Hawkwind, Ozric Tentacles and Mars Volta.

Also, I don't know if you've heard, but Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) is a huge fan of rare and obscure psychedelia and 70s prog. And I'm finding that I like that music.

There are a lot of unlikely prog fans... Flea, Vincent Gallio, Jack Black and even Johnny Rotten for example.

Rush is a fantastic band, 2112 is an amazing experience everytime i listen to it, which seems to be all the time.

Rush is one of the most influential bands of all time, in my opinion.

I agree :)

i don't find rush that great.. i mean some writings are ok, but nothing great. The vocals well sound like smurfs.. or something.. after like two songs i have to turn them off.. there far to annoying.
