I saw Rush on MTV/HD and boy did they suck.

[Bake]

Really. And I thought the Moody Blues were pretentious. Rush sucked out loud. Possibly the WORST BAND EVER.

Oh. They're OLD, too. Not that being old is a bad thing, necessarily.

10. Get right up over yourself

Rush rocks mightily. STFU.

[LynneSin]

You are a man of vision. A man who will one day rule the world

or at least the DU Lounge

[Bake]

14. The only thing they did mightily was suck.

And they did suck mightily.

Bake

[Dr. Strange]

22. I find your blank post soothing.

Like the intro to "Jacob's Ladder."

[MrCoffee]

17. Welcome to my ignore list

You respond with STFU? ASSHOLE!

[Dr. Strange]

20. Well, poster that I've never heard of.

Welcome to my sparse ignore list. You'll notice the sweet stylings of Geddy Lee in the background. He loves you.

[MrCoffee]

21. I'll pray for you.

Had I the right?

[LynneSin]

23. You'll pray for us

We'll pray for you anti-rushites to get a sense of good music!

[Dr. Strange]

28. No right, dipso, no right.

You and dbaker41, both: two dipsi.

[Bake]

42. Please, just call me Bake!

And are you certain that the plural of dipso is dipsi?

Bake

[Dr. Strange]

50. I'm pretty sure it's dipsi.

If it was a Greek word, then the plural would be dipsii. And if it was a Canadian word, then the plural would be dipsos, eh.

[Fire Walk With Me]

46. Your prayers make baby Jesus cry.

Just sayin'.

:rofl:

2. This has epic Lounge potential.

3. It's been a while since I had a really good one ...

But I didn't do the OP just to start some shit. Rush really DID suck. They were fuckin' AWFUL!

7. I just put a curse on you - maggots will be crawling all over your food

Enjoy lunch!

[Bake]

13. We deep fry 'em down here.

And I'd rather eat deep fried maggots than be subjected to Rush again.

:hi:

Bake

[LynneSin]

15. Yes but then those maggots will infest within you and crawl out of every pore on your body

You'll be all maggotty

[Bake]

43. Red beans and rice for lunch.

Although it MIGHT have been maggots instead of rice. It was rather clumpy. But GOOD! Clumpy, but good! Mmmmmmmmm!

Bake

[Taverner]

8. Were they ever good?

JK - I respect their musicianship, but I just don't like them.

[LeftyMom]

9. They always sucked.

:popcorn:

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Rush, the most boring of the boring prog wankers.

:patriot:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

24. I just don't get it...

never did. Love the Moody Blues...never did get the Rush :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

33. Some people just equate being able to play in a 1209/25 time signature with making good music.

When really, it is devoid of feeling and anything really compelling.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

38. hmmm...

define the Moody Blues for me (go ahead, I can take it;) )

[ghostsofgiants]

40. I've never listened to the Moody blues, haha.

Well, I'm sure I've heard their stuff, but I don't know it off hand.

[bbernardini]

39. Actually, I find music with unusual time signatures very compelling.

Porcupine Tree does it with a great deal of feeling.

[ghostsofgiants]

41. I'm just saying that just because it's not 4/4 doesn't mean it's automatically great musi

I have nothing against unusual time signatures, there ARE a couple prog bands (mainly modern prog bands like The Mars Volta) that I really enjoy. I just thing Rush are soulless and boring as shit and everyone wanking over their technical skill drives me crazy.

[Swede]

12. Yeah,real musicians playing their own great material is so fucking horrible.

Give me America's got talent,or a group that doesn't play a fucking instrument but can dance any day.

[Bake]

16. I'm not dissing their musicianship. Just their music.

And perhaps this wasn't their best live performance. Some bands can only sound good in the studio. Not that Rush ever did, mind you.

They always sucked.

Bake

[MrCoffee]

18. "great material"?

Rush = 3 great musicians who never should have formed a band.

[Swede]

19. You have no idea what you're talking about.

53. Judging from your name, you probably like ABBA too!

:rofl:

Bake

[ghostsofgiants]

36. Because Rush is the only band that plays their own instruments on earth, right?

Playing your own instruments != good music.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. Error: You've already recommended that thread.

well.damn.

[Tektonik]

27. time to make a million new accounts

30. ahhH SALESMEN!

cue FUCKING AWFUL SOLO THAT MAKES EVEN GOD HIMSELF COVER HIS EARS

31. Proof that Neil Peart sucks

40 million records sold








120 million records sold



Canucks - 0
Brits - 1

[MrCoffee]

32. Hehehe

Well played

[ghostsofgiants]

34. You, sir, just defined wankery perfectly in picture form.

[Swede]

44. Back Street Boys had 13 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and have sold 120 million albums.

What's your point again?

[Dr. Strange]

37. Congress Debates Coolness Of Rush

WASHINGTON, DC–Continuing its long-running debate on the subject Monday, members of Congress argued the merits of Canadian power trio Rush. "'The philosopher and the plowman, each must play his part'?" asked House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX). "C'mon. Neil Peart must be the most pretentious lyricist in arena-rock history. Gentlemen, forget these bloated, overrated '70s dinosaurs." Countered longtime Rush loyalist Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR): "Keep talking, man, the tunes say it all: 'Passage To Bangkok'? 'By-Tor And The Snow Dog'? That part in 'Red Barchetta' where Geddy sings about the gleaming alloy aircar shooting toward him two lanes wide? Look me in the eye and tell me that doesn't rock, motherfucker!" The deliberations are expected to continue throughout the week.

Dick Armey doesn't like Rush. Don't be a Dick.

[Bake]

45. But he's got such a manly NAME!!

I mean, come on. DICK ARMEY!!!

:rofl:

Bake

[Dr. Strange]

58. How many troops in a Dick Armey?

Better do a head count.

[Fire Walk With Me]

47. Little-known fact: Paul Anka penned all of Rush's songs.

They eventually ran out of Anka's work, and made the mistake of turning to a post "I just called to say I love you" Stevie Wonder.

It's up to you to detect this turning point. Four hundred Quatloos to the victor!

[Systematic Chaos]

48. So what do you like that's so much better?

:popcorn:

[Dr. Strange]

51. Hall & Oates.

Bake and MrCoffee have Hall & Oates parties on the third Friday of every month.

[MrCoffee]

52. janesez is laughing her faux-British ass off right now

[Dr. Strange]

54. I'll have a pumpkin spice latte in her honor.

Mmmm, milkshake.

[MrCoffee]

57. You have a FREAKISH memory.

[Systematic Chaos]

55. Easy to understand why.

They've already apparently "let the carbon and monoxide choke (their) thoughts away-ay-ee-ayyy-ay-ayyy".

:evilgrin:

[TZ]

49. I have an evil copycat in mind here..better than LynneSin

"I heard Bake playing his guiter and boy did he suck"........ Really and I thought Moody blues were pretentious...:P

[Bake]

56. Watch it, or I'll subject you to BANJO music!!!!

Foggy Mountain Breakdown for 48 hours non-stop!
