Somewhat of a Rush fanboy, followed by Killing Joke, and don't really like Saga.

I think that pretty much sums it up for me too.

they are to my opinipn to first have that keybord/guitar unisons which later became so popular for the 90s rise of progressive metal, where guitar and keybord follow eachother in unison, like nailed to eachother, Saga is a pioneer in that technique in that they not only do it on one song but many songs on albums from early 78 up til the rise of prog metal in the 90s,
and Queensryche is heavyly inpired by Saga, and i also think some members of Dream Theater is, James LaBrie is from Canada so i think he is heavly influenced by Saga (as he have stated of being fan of AOR and heavy pomp rock) and Michael Sadler is a good influence for many operatic singers,
so yes i think Saga is important for the shaping of metal

No idea, but I like them. I think actually it's more a question of metal shaping Saga, as it sounds like they got inspired by metal an hard rock in the late 90s.

Their early albums were maybe an influence on progressive metal but from this to saying they helped shape metal, it's a long way.

I'm having a bit of a falling out with them after listening to Signals and Grace Under Pressure. The former is still pretty good, the latter is weaker. From what I hear, they get weaker from that point onward.

I don't like GUP either, but Power Windows is my favorite Rush album. Then again, it seems like I'm the only person in the world who doesn't think that Roll the Bones is their worst, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
