There's no prog rock thread...

I hate prog bands like ELP, by the way. I like bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zep, and Rush. The Beatles have great songs, and terrible songs.

The Beatles invented prog rock with songs like 'A Day In The Life'. So you can blame your precious Beatles for creating monsters like Keith Emerson.

Rush was more inspired by bands like The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Jethro Tull. In their early years that is. At the end of the seventies, there was not much prog rock left in Rush. Gone were the long epics, weird lyrics, and lengthy solos. But you guys wouldnt know that, because you're stuck in the seventies...

This is why I loved CREEM Magazine.

Rush. But Why Are They In Such A Hurry? By J Kordosh, Creem, June 1981

"I was later able to infer that Rush have some sort of collective paranoia about making mistakes during a live performance. Of course, this is intrinsically impossible, as their material is one gigantic mistake unto itself."

thanks that was great!

btw i'd forgotten i was a keyboard warrior!
