1. Worst bass player???

Geddy Lee can play circles around most people on bass...

You may not like Rush or his singing, but the guy can play!!

2. Millions of people listen.

MILLIONS

11. Here you go.

As a group, Rush possesses 24 gold records and 14 platinum (3 multi-platinum) records.<5> Rush's sales statistics place them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band.<6> Rush also ranks 79th in U.S. album sales with 25 million units.<7> Although total worldwide album sales are not calculated by any single entity, as of 2004 several industry sources estimated Rush's total worldwide album sales at over 40 million units.

4. I dunno, I can't get past his singing.

My good god, what a blessing a permanent case of laryngitis would be for Geddy and the rest of us.

5. This bass guitarist,

who has played for 39 years, puts Geddy in the top echelon of those who have ever played the instrument. And while I like Rush well enough, I wouldn't consider myself to be a gigantic fan. :)

6. I like his singing too

but I am a nerd.

7. Rag on the guy's singing if you must.

But he's a monster on that bass!

[Bake]

10. OK, I admit it. He can play. Bass, that is.

Not like it's that hard or anything.

But see my other thread about the singing thing.
