Like the songs Tom Sawyer and Limelight and one or two others but have never been able to get into them much. People keep on saying they are underrated, but really, they aren't, everyone knows them.

I bet many people who first hear Rush think there are at least 4 people in the band. That is how well they sound and obviously I'm not the first to say that here. They are just one of the most fun bands to listen to and sing along with.

The thing I hate about Rush is that they suck. Actually that's not the only reason. Rush is one those bands that people claim is underrated or that no one knows about them, but in reality, they are probably one of the most famous bands out there. Juno put it best when he said they struggle with lyrics. Really, their songs have no good lyrics. Now, as players, they play their instruments extremely well, there's no disagreeing with that, but unfortunately that talent is wasted on making songs that just don't go well as a whole. They have a few good songs and that's about it.

Fantastic musicians. An exceptional body of work spanning nearly 40 years. Great live show - and boy, do these guys work hard for their live corn - 3hrs + and no slacking. Just an awesome band.

The kings of music as far as I'm concerned. They've been my runaway favorite band since 2004, and I don't see that changing. Their proficiency at their instruments is great, sure, but they are wonderful songwriters as well. Peart is a great lyricist even though he'll pen a few duds here and there. The band isn't the most consistent in the world - some of their albums have throwaways - but they experimented, changed their sounds, and -progressed-. Some say their music is cold, but I would argue that quite a few of their songs convey real emotion. "The Pass", "Emotion Detector", "Available Light", "Ghost of a Chance", "Red Sector A", "Afterimage"....I could go on and on.

Rush is OK. They can really play, perhaps the top of their respective instruments. They put on a great live show, and their music is complex instrumentally.

However, they don't have a gift for melody, they struggle with lyrics, and they don't convey texture, tone or emotion. More than anything, sometimes they lose the big picture - songcraft and purpose.

Just how I take them...

I really miss 'Counterparts' on this one...The album that brought them back to their thicker, heavier sound...

When I decide whether or not a band is truly great I look to see if they've added something to my life that I would miss. In this case...no. And if I hear how effin' incredible Neil Peart is one more time I might go all Columbine on 'em. THE KINGS of overratednesessess.
