The Christian Vander=nazi stuff is best forgotten about I think, I would guess he was into the iron discipline, megalomania and hell, the uniforms. Doubt if he was really into the idea of genocide tbh.
Well yeah, he presumably thinks that the genocide didn't really happen. But at any rate, even if he isn't an anti-semite I think it's fair to say that he's right wing.

Apart from "The Trees"
Ha, fair point, an explicit anti-maple manifesto.
Seriously, what I meant was that while Rush has definitely recorded many songs with broad philosophical/political messages, or even songs about particular issues, they've never recorded anything that seems to be a direct comment on something that was actually going on in politics in Canada at the time. For example, I don't think they've ever publicly voiced any clear opinions in favour of one party or another or spoken out against a particular government policy, even in the way that "The Way the Wind Blows" seems like a direct comment on the Bush administration. (I'd honestly be hard-pressed to even guess which way they voted.)

also, that cover is straight as hell!!!
Coil mentioned upthread but their alumnus Thighpaulsandra should have probably had all his album covers posted here already - he is p much Queen Prog
Also, arguably one of the best exponents of this has posted to this thread!

well anyway furry prog is better than gay prog (see: the complete works of bob drake)
cover of "reel to real" looks like they're trying to out-"love beach" "love beach", and the cover of "love beach" is definitely not gay. the guy wearing the tiny little sailor shirt just comes across as regrettable, not really any more "gay" than that fireballet album cover is "trans"

O yeah Bob Drake is the nicest guy and a sterling representative for furkind

Actually.... prog is probably more androgynous than gay. Prog is a very intellectual kind of music and the entire intellectual culture is more androgynous. Not stereotypically male as in fast cars, girls with big boobs and lots of energy and rock'n'roll riffs, but not really "gay" either. Just typically intellectually androgynous.
