Exactly! Remember that Yes, ELP, King Crimson, etc.... were doing this kind of music first...incorporating jazz, classical, folk. Just like when Death Metal reared it's ferocious head in the mid-late 80's, nobody thought to do something like that with music.
Rush-yeah, Fly By Night was their second album. The first had Working Man on it. When they had a poll on favorite Rush era, I also posted my top 3 Rush albums
Permanent Waves
Hemispheres
Caress of Steel-so underrated.
The original artwork for the COS album was supposed to be silver, not bronze-ish. The factory botched it, wrong color. They did the same for the logo on the first album. It was supposed to be RED not pink. The other cool thing about Caress is that The Necromancer is a continuation of By-Tor and the Snowdog. They did that again with Cygnus X-1 on Farewell to Kings, then part 2 called Cygnus X-1 book 2 Hemispheres on the Hemispheres album. Early Genesis and King Crimson kind of did that as well on albums, but Rush just seemed to make it more complete to me.
With ELP, just don't get Love Beach, whatever you do!
