Of course, one of the most underrated bands ever.
People have called them the "Canadian Led Zeppelin" for years. Personally I think that's a disservice to Rush, who always wrote original material and never stole songs from their opening acts.
Now if Cheap Trick could get into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame
@Greenbeanz I thought you said their music was shit.
Doing a bit of fence-sitting here are we?
As for Led Zepplin....greatest cover band of all time
Ooooh shit just got real!Quote:

I acknowledge they were a great band and were great musicians, but where's the musical integrity? So many stolen songs that were proven in court to have been stolen.Quote:

Whoa...Hold your fire. Don't Rush into painting me as some fly by night fan.

I got excellent feedback but singing that high regularly, is work for clockwork angels. Boston and Rush are not counterparts you could even argue that they come from different hemispheres on a mental level, they are like snakes and arrows. However you roll the bones, even in 2112 you could not compare them.Of course they will be long gone by then, and so there will have already been a farewell to kings. I don't know where you got those signals but I shall try and maintain grace under pressure rather than causing permanent waves and shall now exit stage left, leaving only vapor trails in my wake.Quote:

Well with an intellectual drummer who writes lyrics influenced by Ayn Rand and a Bass playing singer, who like Matt Bellamy, sings like he has just received a swift kick in the goolies you might love them ;D. At heart a prog band of incredibly proficient musicians they always remembered the value of a good tune. You have probably already hear this one of their hits from years back. It's as good a place to start as anywhere, from the LP "Permanent Waves" it is surprisingly not about Nicky Clark the celebrity hair stylist.:-XQuote:

Good stuff. Echoes of different things in that. Journal for plague lovers must have stolen a line from that.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music. But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity.
That's good stuff!

My bad. I thought you had mentioned Rush as a group you didn't like back in a previous thread.
I like Rush... admire their musical talent and how such a sound can come from 3 people.
But................ I don't like the singer.
Always reminded me of a cackling old lady.
No worries, it gave me the opportunity to fit 14 Rush album titles into one post, which for a nerdy ocd music fan like me, was kinda fun. :-)Quote:
