Love this, too bad they had to stray too far, guess it was enevitable, but this period of 4-5 albums is just amazing.

^Right? I mean, isn't criticism of this era of Rush just nit-picking at this point?

Titan Bro, I love them too, but maybe not the best, 4-5 more prog albums and no synch laden albums ( at first used tastefully) then way to much with terrible 80's hollow tones, makes me take a step back.
You know i'm crabby because my boys got swept away, so I was taking it out on The Wall, but will get no argument from me on these guys, 74-81 Rush is right up there
I always defer to The Dead and BS

kind of agree, that why I went to 81, but i think kind of lost their way with signals, signals is fine, not great, but steadily turned into a typical hollow 80's band for the rest of the 80's but then started to redeem themselves in the 90's

Rush did really well during the 80's, which can't be said for most 70's prog bands. King Crimson gave it a nice spin too, and Genesis adapted nicely, but there's no long list of winners there.

You're right, Nagrarok. Only a very few prog bands survived the ruthless dark age of prog. Rush have somewhat adapted their sound to the 80's with the heavy use of synths and keyboards, so their recording label kept on renew their contract. And also, every new album brought new fans, so they never stopped. Finally, heavy rock was popular at that time. That kept them alive and well.
As for King Crimson, with Discipline, we get a new era of KC with a new approach of their usual progressive rock. Since then, their sound was leaning towards new-wave, which gave them a more accessible image, so they won some big points towards their recording label too, and they even enlarged their public.
Genesis began the eighties with shorter songs, and thanks to Collins, they turned almost as pop as his solo career so they stayed on the line with the precious collaboration of Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, and so they managed to keep a proggy touch here and there until they broke up.
What all these bands have in common is that every new album brought new fans, so bands were free as a bird to continue their career.
For the most part of the 70's prog bands though, they failed in trying to adapt their sound for the 80's to come. They lost their point of reference, they lost their fan base, they were let down by the critics and by their record label, and finally, unable to compose with the new realities of the market, and unable to redirect their songwriting properly under new standards, they had to prematurely break up.
