Yup. I fÖrgÖt tÖ put the twÖ little dÖts Över the Ö. Perhaps that's why they're considered prÖg.

Then to alleviate any more doubts about Rush's credentials, then all we need to do is ask Geddy and Alex to start using the name:

I always thought Rush were a Hard Rock band before I joined PA, but maybe I was being a bit Rash. Smile

So Rush started with some proto-prog, did a bunch of albums that very very prog, then eased back into not much prog.

How does that differ from Genesis?
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

It doesn't count because the umlaut is an integrated part of the German written language. The British/American bands just used it because they thought it would look cool.

Ya know, This feels like a root canal that won't end. You stare at the light above, grip the arm rests with all your might, try to sink deeper in to the chair & pray for the sweet release of death which never comes...Wacko
