Scaredy: Seriously? Like Blue Oyster Cult, they were a thinking man’s rock-and-roll. Definitely at the vanguard of prog-rock, and who can forget “Tom Sawyer”, “Limelight”, and “Red Barchetta”?
I’d think that Iron Maiden or Judas Priest might want to hurt you, but not Rush.
Well, I’ll leave you to Miles Davis, Weather Report and Oscar Peterson’s Tall Band. I like jazz, but nothing beats rock-and-roll.
