Did Rush influence Prog Metal?

This lack of decorum is worse than watching Trump in a debate.

I guess my post on the rules was missed: see Site Rules and Guidelines

No Personal attacks (flaming or trolling). Keep it civil, show respect at all times for your fellow members. Disagreement, debate, even "heated" discussion is fine (though emoticons should be used to "soften" the effect of words). However, personally directed insults, denigration, etc. will not be tolerated, and will be grounds for warning and, if not stopped immediately, ejection. This applies equally to forum posts AND private messages. "Group-directed" insults and denigration (e.g., racism, sexism, ageism, etc.) also fall under this category, any such behavior will be taken on a case by case basis. Any member who engages in continuous baiting, borderline insults, or other continuously "aggressive" behaviour will be warned.

This is a formal warning. No more insulting language period. Feel free to argue, but do it politely. This goes for anyone posting in this thread and out of it. I'm almost at the point of closing this thread too. It got unpleasant quite a while ago, and this doesn't feel like dialectic or debate that will lead to any shifting of perspectives.

In fact, I think it has run its course.

You lost bozo. Go home and cry.

No more chances to play your sympathy card, Steve. You used 'em all up.

oh thanks for pointing that out. It gives me another chance to say that Rush only had influence your clone bands which are not prog metal bands. That felt good. Let me know if this is still unclear to you so l can state it again.
