    Would you consider Rush to be progressive rock?

    They did geeky 20 minute songs about space and libertarianism and had long wanky solos.. so yeah, they're like the epitome of prog-rock.

    I did some research, they are an art rock style of prog that went more towards arena rock later.

    Around that time most any decent band were Arena rock that was the new way to make money, fill a football stadium full of people instead of a small concert hall.

    Honestly Dude....are you seriously high(If that's the case...where can I score some?)

    RUSH is one of the Gods of Prog Rock(though they're usualy associated with a few metal bands)But their sound,purpose,and soul is pure Progressive.No question about it.

    And I have to agree with pretty much everyone here...If you want Prog Rock embodied...it's just 4 digits and one album....2112(Though A Farewell to Kings,Hemispheres,Moving Pictures,and Permanent Waves in my opinion are classics.)

    They would be a progressive type of Jam Rock. I'm glad they aren't a Jam band.
