Vote for Rush for hall of fame

Sarcher30, by your narrow minded criteria Rush doesn't qualify for the R&R HOF either. Is there a Prog-Rock HOF?

Onhwy61, The operative word is rock. Sure there are many types of rock. I will concede that pinning down a genre can be difficult.

Anyone who would vote for Rush can't not think "Trailer Park Boys"is the best thing since sliced bread! Hold the ketchup.

Rush is bad music played well. Nothing personal against them. They are certainly good musicians and Neil Peart seems to be a nice guy. But I cannot imagine how they think up that trash they write. I guess if you like Andrew Lloyd Webber, you'll like Rush. In fact, it's hard to believe they actually like their own music. I think they must sit around and figure out non-memorable melodies with gratuitous meter changes just to appear "progressive". If that were the case, I would respect them much more. Just some guys doing what they have to do to make it in music. No disrespect to anyone here who thinks they're great. It's just that when you grew up with Hendrix, Clapton, Sly, Joplin, The Who, Jefferson Airplane and others of that era, it's a bit hard to see Rush on the same stage. But so be it.

No, the operative word is "rock 'n' roll" and prog rock don't got no roll. Fortunately for Rush and others the phrase rock 'n' roll has historically encompassed everything from blues, pop, metal, rap, easy listening, a little bit of country and various dance genres.

For a good laugh check out the "Tom Sawyer" sequence in the movie "The Adventures of Power".
