I might actually give your Rush reviewed a read through, I do actually like their first album. It's more.. simple.
I always get the feeling Progressive Rock is overly pretentious and has an air of self worth around it, y'know what I mean? Or is that just me.

I think your idea of "prog" is a little unrealistic. Especially for early progressive rock, "prog" is not really a good way to describe the actual music.
In other words, King Crimson doesn't sound like Yes doesn't sound like Genesis doesn't sound like Jethro Tull doesn't sound like ELP doesn't sound like Caravan doesn't sound like Gentle Giant doesn't sound like Pink Floyd etc etc ..
If you think it makes sense to just label those bands as "prog" and "pretentious" and "no thanks", then it's your loss, really.
