It does seem a little corny at first, I'll admit. Over-synthesized Rush = Corny

Well Grace Under Pressure is better than Signals...but after that....gosh, they may only have a handful of four-star songs for me.

If you like Signals, get Grace Under Pressure, but that's really all you're missing out on, IMO

Sounds like nothing I've ever heard before, almost a VDGG meets Jethro Tull sound. Have you heard his Doomsday Afternoon?

IMO Grace sounds nothing like Signals nor is it anywhere near as good. Power Windos is better.

My favorite is Number Seven but most people will tell you Doomsday Afternoon so I'd say that.

I've always thought you could switch out any two songs on those albums and neither would sound out of place, really.

Smashing Pumpkins are pretty much as close to prog you can get without being prog. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness at least.

^ Oh, I love Mellon Collie, particularly the second disc, but the whole album is wonderful. I think Billy Corgan even uses a mellotron on Siamese Dream. Semi-prog? I think so.

I've been going on about how good Magazine are and I get no response. Am I the only person here who listens to them?

They are a very, very good band who were not really prog (but were more accomplished/ambitious/artistic than others in their scene and influenced future prog artists) whose debut album Real Life frequently appears on best albums of all time lists. Despite that, they barely seem to have any reputation at all.
If you want to know more about them, I'm giving them a thread in the General Music Discussion section right now. Please check out this overlooked band who, though not prog, would in my opinion be of interest to proggers.
