Apparently so does everyone else. It's starting to become a "Rush fans 
in Atlanta" list. I like them well enough, but they aren't my favorite. 
Of the big-name prog acts, I prefer Yes, old Genesis, ELP, Tull, old 
Floyd,etc. to Rush.

But thats OK! Everyone has their faves.

Maybe a favorites thread would be cool... mine change every day. Lately 
I've been into old Italian prog - PFM, Banco, Le Orme. I've also been 
checking out some of the newer generation of proggy artists.... I dig 
Anglagaard, Anekdoten, Djam Karet, Ozric Tentacles. I'm mixed on Flower 
Kings, Spock's Beard, Marillion, Echolyn... I really like a lot of 
their stuff... but some of just sort of goes in one ear and out the 
other.

My biggest influences would be Crimson (even though I mixed on some of 
their output), Gabriel, and several 
not-exactly-prog-but-still-progressive artists like Laurie Anderson, 
David Byrne, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Wendy Carlos.

I could go on and on, but I'd rather hear what some of you have to say.
