Is Rush prog

For whatever it's worth, under the Rush page in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame the first line on the band reads as such:

"Rush are one of the most popular, innovative prog bands of all time."

They are one of five bands in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that are in as a progressive rock band, with Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes and the Moody Blues being the others.

As far as the Hall is concerned, several prog bands Jethro Tull, King Crimson, ELP, Kansas and Supertramp are far more deserving to be in the Hall than many of the bands that went in before them. I think of the newer generation of prog bands Dream Theater, Tool and Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson should get in if there was any justice.

I know Radiohead, which on PA is listed as a Crossover Prog band is in the Hall. But, it appears to me that the Hall doesn't consider them a Prog band. They look at Radio head as more an experimental, alternative rock band.
