Just watched Beyond the Lighted Stage
for the second time and I am now convinced beyond any doubt that Rush are the greatest band (I spaffed my pants) to have graced this world of shaven apes.

Who is the best prog band of all time? (Monty I'm kinda taunting you with this)

Alt q - What is the best thing to put on toast?

Alt Q: peanut butter. It's not even debatable.

I'll put peanut butter into bronze position

take my thread and shove it up my own ass (and if I add some toast does it make 4th)?

Alt-Q
Toast needs mango salsa.

Try it, you'll love it.

and I like Hocus Pocus by Focus because it always makes me remember being uncontrollably high and giggling like an spastic with lemon flavored windows.

Hmm...I'm in two minds about Rush
They seem to have a habit of their albums either being really awesome (e.g., Moving Pictures, 2112) or embarrassingly bad (Caress of Steel). But then "best prog band" is a difficult one because so many of them release another experiment that falls flat on its face and sullies an otherwise excellent back catalogue. (If you can recommend any other good ones I would be interested to check them out)

I'm inclined to say Hawkwind, simply because their first two albums are so unlike anything else you've ever heard. Warrior on the Edge of Time is also a truly excellent album. There is stiff competition with Camel's first three albums, and Quintessence's early work. Though if we are to base it on the strength of their good albums (as opposed to say, a ratio of good:bad), then Rush have a reasonably strong claim.
