les and the rest of primus were heavily influenced by rush, and have a few prog elements, so yes.

i define prog as weird time signatures, mystical lyrics, very scalar bassed riffs and PROGressions. however, a few bands that you guys are naming arent relly prog to me. i think what defines progressive rock is the progressions, not the art or the fact that they dont fit anywhere else. so here is a list of my favourite prog bands.............

dream theater (all time favourite band)
king crimson
rush
yes
andomeda
the flower kings
symphony x (more speed metal, but has some newer prog elements)
platypus
liquid tension experiment
spiral architect
ayreon
gordion knot
