Were Rush and Hawkwind prog rock? Two great bands.....Hawkwinds Space Ritual is one of the best live albums ever.
I always thought they were a bit "heavier" than "prog" rock.......which i always thought was shite!!
 
Seen Rush on their last two tours here, so glad I did as had I put it off I'd probably never would have seen them at all.

Are Primus classed as Prog? Really into them at the moment.
 
Always thought stuff from that era was quite shite but had a phase of listening to alot of stuff about a year ago and changed my mind.
Might have a dabble back into it.

Was anyone into it? I wasn't really but saw ELP & Yes a couple of times and bought one or two LPs. Never got into Genesis into a bit later.

Always preferred guitar rock although Yes & Genesis did have great guitarists.

Loved Genesis , did not get Yes. Like any genre there will be good and bad, or some you like, some you don't.

Don't ask me daft questions!:D

I don't even know the definition of progressive rock, I just happen to know(think?) that floyd , Genesis, elo are probably examples of it?

I just listen to music I like couldn't give a damn what genre it is.


I've seen the mannequin pis , does that count?

No unless he pisses to music.

2112, Hemispheres, A Farewell To Kings, Permanent Waves. Exit, stage left is a great live album. I liked that era the best

You forgot Moving Pictures. For me though, Grace Under Pressure was one of my favourites even if it isn't considered one of their best. Clockwork Angels has been played to the exclusion of almost everything else since I got it....probably their best since Moving Pictures imo. That said, I like everything they've done.

Just don't listen to the synth era :(

Clockwork Angels was brilliant I thought.

Signals was fairly good. Agree with your second point though.

Tbf it's not that bad, there are some good songs from that time but mostly it's not for me.
 
My dad is a fan so heard a lot growing up (mostly Yes). Some of it is ok, most of it is dreadful.

Quite enjoy a bit of the Mars Volta, though.
