Rush Hopes Their Rock Hall Induction Will Open Prog-Rock Floodgates
. "I hope this means other great bands like Yes will follow suit," bassist Geddy Lee tells USA Today. "Deep Purple was on the ballot this year, and I was hoping they'd get in with us. We wouldn't be the band we are without Deep Purple's existence." Guitarist Alex Lifeson says he hopes Rush's inclusion "opens the doors for bands like the Moody Blues and King Crimson, who had a huge influence. It's a bit ironic, really. Rock music was born in rebellion, so it's odd to have (a Hall of Fame) where there seem to be guidelines for who's acceptable and who's not." more on this story hennemusic is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
