Rush is bad music played well. Nothing personal against them. They are certainly good musicians and Neil Peart seems to be a nice guy. But I cannot imagine how they think up that trash they write. I guess if you like Andrew Lloyd Webber, you'll like Rush. In fact, it's hard to believe they actually like their own music. I think they must sit around and figure out non-memorable melodies with gratuitous meter changes just to appear "progressive". If that were the case, I would respect them much more. Just some guys doing what they have to do to make it in music. No disrespect to anyone here who thinks they're great. It's just that when you grew up with Hendrix, Clapton, Sly, Joplin, The Who, Jefferson Airplane and others of that era, it's a bit hard to see Rush on the same stage. But so be it.
