Haha... I'll be honest, my dislike of the Mars Volta is because it reminds me of Led Zeppelin! I'm happy just listening to Led Zeppelin without some prog impersonation, but that's just me.
Rush is fun because of the acoustic aesthetic, I don't mean "funny" like those lame comedy bands calling themselves things like "The Farters" and "The Poopers". I just think that hearing Rush is pretty fun!
Pink Floyd make much more serious and sensible music, and if you need cheering up you probably won't put on "The Wall".
