I don't see how anyone can listen to the Hemispheres album and deny that it is prog as all hell.

I never thought they really were progressive-a heavy metal band with progressive aspirations,that went really commercial later on.

Rush are considered prog by just about every site, book or magazine you can name, so you should not be surprised to see them here. If you still have doubts, you could perhaps try listening to their albums from 2112 to Permanent Waves, which are universally considered the proggiest part of their output. They are also universally considered as a huge influence on the formation of progressive metal, and also on many other bands on the heavier end of the prog spectrum. That alone would guarantee them a place here.

I am quite surprised to see a few Rush albums in the Top-100.
I would not be surprised at all if it was a Rock compilations, but I am in the case of Prog...
Can somebody make me see the light in that case ??
