If they weren't artrock and/or prog rock, then what we should call 'em?

Art rock, I think is fit. Because the music from Moving Pictures to Hold Your Fire (or even to Snakes & Arrows) are always beyond standard! Thus the term 'art rock' was born, because the rock band at a time doesn't sound like what it should... SmileSmileSmileSmileSmile

As everyone else has said, I've always thought prog rock and art rock were just interchangable terms.  And seeing as Rush is one of the least progressive bands to ever be considered progressive rock (art rock), I wouldn't push the term on them, but I guess you could....  Outside of Hemispheres I really only consider Rush a rock band with slight prog tendencies, since they are really really commercial and poppy

ClapI don't know about calling them art rock, but Rush's Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure are all even-handed prog stand-outs. Worth mentioning is the first's "The Camera Eye" for pure listening adventure. Using FM's Ben Mink on the second's "Loosing It" was a solid affirmation of where the band wanted to go. Unfortunately, the band was soon to enter into a played out period with subsequent albums to follow.

I put them in this category:

the first is pure rock
from careless to moving pictures are pure prog rock
from signals to permanent  are between prog and Neo Prog
From Hold your fire to Role the Bones are modem Rock
and from Counterpart to present are just between hard, alternative rock albums
Prog had been dead in RUSH world since Moving Pictures.
However I still Love RUSH and only Hold your Fire is the album that I don't enjoy much.

Signals is plenty proggy, IMO, but I love the prevalance of synths on it.
