Here is mpdpvdpin telling every other pinsider about their musical taste
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:Here’s what I (and many others) think of Rush:
Rush is what actual musicians like to refer to as a “Jack off wank band” …too many f’n notes, too many solos…style over substance. Flaunty Jaunty nerdy faux musical wizardry. These guys never got laid. Being a Rush fan is the equivalent of getting a hard on doing long division. They are the exact type of band that will wow the laymen and bore the studied. There is a reason Rush never broke the US/Canadian market…
Prog bands that are actually good:
King Crimson
Magma
Soft Machine
Premiata Forneria Macaroni (PFM)
Ill Baletto di Bronzo
Alphataurus
Captain Beyond
Hawkwind
Yes
For real fans of the prog genre Rush doesn’t even place in top 100.
Just my opinion as an avid record collector, dealer, DJ and published author on similar subjects.
There is beauty in our differences however and more power to you if Rush gets the blood flowing’ in your bone. I guess, haha.
