There was a guy on Pointless (British quiz program) recently who said he liked listening to prog music and the host thought he said "frog".

Gonna go do some work, gotta earn my paycheck and pay the mortgage. Will spin some Rush tonight, and I am one that loves all eras of Rush. Hard rock (Zeppelin era), progressive era, synth era and heavy prog era. It's all great music by 3 monster musicians.

Cheers!

This one's for you, mate!!  Clap

Who gives a sh*t what microgenre of prog it is. Do you like it? GOOD, enjoy it!

LOL

We need to change everything, reinvent genre names, macrogenres and microgenres LOL

First genre name? "actually prog". 

Someone please suggest Rush for "actually prog". Or maybe not, they'll be rejected. LOL


Good start. Maybe 'I Can't Believe it's NOT Prog!' category

and 'not prog enough for me" prog category. Evil SmileLOL

OK, but when you play Rush just remember they're not prog rock, They are Canadian Polka Metal! LOL
( I can't believe this has gone on for eleven pages!) 

Speaking of polka. ;)

Some of their work is prog, other is not. There are elements about most of Rush’s catalog that I like about them. Some I’d classify as prog, others not.

Necromancer
2112
Cygnus X-1 voyage
Cygnus X-1 hemispheres
Trees
Natural Science
Jacobs Ladder
Camera Eye
and so on.....
A few examples of their very progressive songs imo.
There’s not really a “recipe” for prog music as far as I am aware.
Anyway prog or not, it matters little to me when I am enjoying their music!
