I don't even understand what this means

Rush are unique among galumphy prog-rock bands in that they lack a single song (you know, like “Roundabout,” “Court of the Crimson King,” “Freebird,” “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”) you could play for someone to try to convince them of the band’s import.

Are Yes, King Crimson, and Genesis also “galumphy”? Surely there are worse “galumphy” prog bands that are not included as examples there and that have less “import.” I don’t understand whether the inclusion of Freebird is a joke, and I don’t feel stupid for not understanding.

Solo Ozzy did not really deserve to be inducted, but has he really never heard any of his songs on the radio?
