Rush was at their best during the 70's and 80's. Their newest album snakes and arrows totally kicks ass even afer like 3 decades. Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart are freakin' awesome together.

too bad i didn't exist during the 70's to see Rush :( If not it would have been an awesome view.

But however I did see the snakes and arrows tour on TV :p

I'm a huge fan of Fourth Estate and now their front man Dave Beegle (since they've now broken up). Fourth Estate was definitely in the Prog/Instrumental Rock category and then Dave Beegle is now doing more solo classical guitar. Awesome stuff.

Savatage is good too (they turned into Trans-Siberian Orchestra), they are a bit more 'rock operaish', but still good stuff.
