No.



Classic Rock is

[Anonymous]

What's the difference?

[Bricktop]

Prog rock has a more sweeping, textured and symphonic sound, often featuring a lot of synths and keyboards with a lot of changed tempos, pitches and chords.



Classic rock has a simpler chord structure, with traditional verse and chorus.

Is Rush classic rock or prog rock?

[Anonymous]

What's the difference?

Inasmuch as progressive rock was a creature of the late sixties, the "prog" label is a bit outdated for my taste.  Alternative labels such as art rock, symphonic rock, and even classic rock are probably preferable although I personally think classic rock is an overly broad category that also includes rock from the fifties and early sixties that doesn't fit better in other categories like rockabilly, doo-wop, etc.

Categorising music is always a matter of subjectivity in the ears of the listener.



And classic rock is rather all encompassing, as prog rock is often regarded as classic.



Many bands cross between prog and straight rock...on the same album sometimes. Rush often does that. As does David Bowie.

It's complicated, but only a little.  I respect all three of them but have never been much of a fan of the band.  In the beginning they were rockers with a blues feel.  From the mid seventies til around 1990 they were more art rock, morphing in the mid eighties to symphonic rock.  After 1990 they simplified to a more organic hard rock sound, which lasted until their disbandment a year or two ago.
