Who did they imitate and who do they imitate now?

they imitate no one now--  as for who they seem to have been impacted by in the past, it's clear they took influence from Zeppelin (like many bands), the Prog movement [Yes,Camel,etc.], and later a variety of New Wave acts


 
Agree....Glad u did not say The Beatles LOL. I would also add The Who.....
Thank you sir.

Only album i can think of was their Zeppelin-esque debut. But even then, only Lifeson was anything close to Zeppelin. 
I just think it's because it's 70's hard-rock, its hard not sounding like Zeppelin.

Debatable to a point, but I'd say Signals was their last Prog album proper; GUP was - well I don't know what it was - and Power Windows sent them in a new, invigorated direction that was not Neoprog, Artrock, or Pop.  Rush had always been an original, self-made band even when they imitated others and continue that tradition today.

To me Heavy Prog is one of the best genre names here....where Rush are categorized in the PA. It makes to me the most sense as it describes a band that is heavy rock/metal with progressive attributes.
Pretty simple....

When Clockwork Angels is finally released that will be the last prog album I have from Rush....until the next one is released.

Ive heard many people saying that from middle 80´s to now Rush stop to make prog albuns. Do you agree with that? For you, the music they doing now isnt prog at all??
