Rush hasn't been a Prog band since 1976. They released three prog albums, everything after that is synth-hard rock. Very debatable, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Signals still come off as a mix of hard and prog rock |

Sorry friend, but Peter Gabriel Genesis destroys Pink Floyd! I heavily dislike Peter Gabriel and Phil Collin’s voices |

Somebody is not going to like one of your decent rankings. 
Have you done any custom tiers or just used the templates they have on the site. There are a ton of templates there.
I just use list creators others have made. I’d make my own templates but for some reason the site requires you to have a twitter account to make your own templates, and Id die before creating an account on the hellhole known as Twitter.com |

Joe, do you have a prog band ranking? Judging form the previous post, you're not going to like where I put Pink Floyd.
Would you consider Jethro Tull a prog rock band? I wouldn't consider parts of their output prog rock but some of it I would.

King Crimson Yes

I would consider Jethro more of a Folk Rock band than Prog, but if we're calling Rush prog then I guess you could consider Jethro. I wouldn't really consider Pink Floyd a Prog band, the sole obvious Prog album they have done is Animals. I would call The Wall and DSOTM more Art/Stoner Rock. I don't think I'm familiar with enough prog to make a list except for this
King Crimson Yes

Very debatable, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Signals still come off as a mix of hard and prog rock I don't know synth and hard rock and prog rock aren't really mutually exclusive I'd say. Like I mean Neil Peart definitely was a master of avant-garde drumming which is one of the reasons Rush is so interesting. All their 80s albums until Power Windows were amazing, Power Windows and beyond was eh. Their live albums in the 90s and 2000s are f******g amazing though. Different Signals is just an amazing 3 hour experience to listen front to back. I relistened to Grace Under Pressure and it was way better than I remembered, Distant Early Warning and Red Sector A are just some absolutely beautiful yet somber songs. Red Sector A's lyrics are a real tear jerker, one of the only songs their discography (asides from the debut) that's lyrics were not written by Peart. Red Sector A was written by Geddy and its lyrics are told from the perspective of an imprisoned Jew at a Nazi Concentration Camp, inspired by the stories his parents, who were Jews in Europe during the second world war and concentration camp survivors, told him about their experiences at the camp. You can really tell the genuine emotion in the lyrics and how Geddy sings it, you can really tell how much the topic has affected him and his family. It just really reflects the thoughts of a scared and famished person in the camps who still tries their hardest to persevere at even the slightest hope of escape and survival. I highly recommend giving the song a listen as well as paying attention to the lyrics. Just so somber but poetic despite its grim subject matter. |

2112 is prog, Signals is more synth/new wave hard rock. I don't know synth and hard rock and prog rock aren't really mutually exclusive I'd say.

Grace Under Pressure is fantastic, asides from that their late 80s and 90s studio albums are eh. However their live albums in the 90s and 2000s are their best live albums period. Also their last album, Clockwork Angels, is pretty good. It’s their only full on concept album and it’s got some pretty interesting steampunk worldbuilding if you’re into that kinda stuff. |

Snakes and Arrows
Roll the Bones
Fly by Night
Clockwork Angels
Counterparts
Caress of Steel

Today I finally finished my 2 year long escapade to complete my BÖC studio album vinyl collection (minus the Europe exclusive vinyl printings of Heaven Forbid and Curse of the Hidden Mirror. Lucky Europeans >:[ )  "Ladies, please! One at a time!" |

I found the first two in a record store. Everything is in perfect condition except Mirrors, where the needle gets stuck on the end of Dr. Music, asides from that the vinyl is fine. |

Asides from finishing my BÖC studio albums collection, I also recently bought Eve by Alan Parsons Project and Permanent Waves by Rush. Eve is in perfect condition and sounds amazing, Permanent Waves has a scratch on Entre Nous but other than that sounds great
