I enjoy their older stuff when a friend plays it, but, like iron maiden and zeppelin, their lyrical obsession with epic "storytelling" grates on me after a while./

its a really really bad drug, does terrrible damage to the body, its popular use in the gay 'community' as poppers may have contributed to the AIDS crisis due to suppression of the immune system.

One of my favorite bands ever. I don't quite love everything they did like I used to, but when they were on, they were really ON (2112 - Grace Under Pressure, to be exact.) Their last one was surprisingly good too. I've seen them live three times and I'd easily see them another thirty given the chance.

I know him, and he does.
Rush was the first band i became obsessed with. when i was 12 or 13. I collected all of thier LP's within a year from the local used record store. I used to set up my turntable behind my drum set and i would wear headphones and learn all of NP's parts (without as many toms & gadjets, of course). My Rush obsession lasted through high school, until I started listening to gangsta rap & janes addiction. I still will check out whatever they release, but i don't think they've been consistently good since the mid 80's. |

I like everything from 2112 - Grace Under Pressure. Snakes and Arrows is actually pretty good... much better than Vapor Trails, which had some serious clipping/distortion issues. I've seen them live twice and they were great.

Yes. They're sort of like the mullet hairstyle of rock. That is, they are to rock what mullet cuts are to hair style.

Technically good music that doesn't move me whatsoever.
If I got free tickets to a show, I'd go. It's fun to play their songs on Rock Band. That's it. No emotional connection to them.

i consider them one of teh worst bands of all time. mainly because of his annoying high pitched voice. i find them very corny and annoying.

A bunch of musicians who are too talented for their own good and can't really write a decent song.... that's rush in a nut shell.
Mainstream prog at some of its worst

Let me put it this way. The kids back in the day of Rush, kids my age I went to school with, who liked Rush were either true nerds, engineering students, or fraternity boys... and sometimes all three rolled into one.

Honest to god, I have never met a Rush fan who was into Dungeons and Dragons or Ayn Rand or any of that other stereotypical crap that comes along with being a Rush fan. Not saying that it doesn't exist, but I've never seen it, and I know a LOT of Rush fans.
