Why does everybody seem to hate Rush?

[Swede]

I thought they were a great band.

1. Great Band, Shitty Person

:-)

[Droopy]

2. I wonder if Limbaugh took his name from the band?

Or is that his given name? I wouldn't think anybody would name their kid Rush, but I guess anything's possible.

3. Didn't like the band either...

One of the most boring concerts I ever went to...

The only "Rush" I ever liked was the inhalant way back when I could afford to cook brain cells...

[XNASA]

4. Personally, I don't care for either.

Myself, I don't hate anyone.

[HuckleB]

5. One of the most overrated bands in history, in my opinion.

6. What about the voice of Getty Lee?

How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?

8. Yay, Pavement! "Stereo," the best thing on "Brighten the Corners"

an otherwise weak album.

Frankly, I harbor a boner for Rush, the band, esp. their early-eighties-trying-to-sound-like-the-Police mode, i.e. "Red Sector A," "Subdivisions," "Distant Early Warning," "Losing it," etc. But can't hack the early shit with Geddy shrieking like an ocelot being castrated slowly with an icicle.

As far as Limbaugh, well, shit, what's there to like? The guy's second book was called "See, I Told You So!" Is there anyone who's ever said that to you who you DIDN'T wanna punch in the face?

7. one of the most underrated bands, in my opinion

[mitchum]

9. - too many notes, not enough song

-Ayn Rand nonsense

-castrato vocals

-they're Canadian (just kidding about that one)
