Much thanks, GH, for backing up my somewhat hastily written post. I don't understand the logic of blindly bashing any group that isn't Queen - the least a person can do is go out and listen to a few songs of the other band in question so that they know what they're bashing!

dont fight or else I'll make you both admit that the best artist ever is Cliff Richard
Cliff Richard? No chance!!!!! That belongs to Bucks Fizz......
Then I suggest you go and listen to some Rush before making such assumptions - I agree with everything Sir GH said.
Exactly.
Why make assumptions of a band one has never heard of? It just doesn't make sense. I listened to Rush, and I am now free to tell people (politely) that I don't like the band at all. ;)
Cheers
if your looking for good singing rush is not your band. Geddy Lee is possibly the worst and annoying singer i'v ever heard, but the music makes up for it. Niel Pert is a drumming god, god of thunder, geddy is a great bassist and alex is a good but not a great guitarist, actually brian may is light years ahead of Mr. Alex L. in my opinion. The bottom line is Queen rules in my book, but rush are also legends and are also a very good band. if they had a better singer they could have been even better.
This is silly, after all everyone knows the greatest band in the world is... TENACIOUS D!
Excellent posts by BackToHuman and me_and_my_innuendo.
It's funny this should show up, as I just had a discussion with a friend that prompted me to go out and get one of their GH albums...soooo.....
My 2 cents and ONLY my 2 cents:
I got bored with the CD.
For a GH and not an album, the songs sounded too similar - ESPECIALLY the vocal.
The songs sounded very mechanical, which I suppose goes back to the "emotion" thing.
I won't say anything talent-wise because they are obviously decently constructed/written songs. Just in small doses.
Yes, this was a compilation, but that's what I got out of it.

Hey now!!! Tenacious D is pretty brilliant, I mean, that Jack Black has a VOICE and he's hilarious!
I like Rush a great deal, A Farewell To Kings is one of my all time favourite albums, I've had little success trying to get others to agree. Geddy Lee's voice is an aquired taste thats for sure, and there are passages, even during some of their best songs which seem be just a little too self indulgent, the intro to Cygnus XI (from AFTK) being a prime example.
What has always made Rush so special for me, as has already been mentioned many times, is the extraordinary drumming of Neal peart. He's the only drummer I've ever heard that plays the drums as though it's a real instrument, not just a means of adding punch and keeping time. his fills and counter rhythms pepper Rushs' albums, and in much the same way as a good guitarist can do, he makes you really listen, and you find yourself hearing something new on familiar tracks time after time.
Listen to something like '2112' with headphones on, try to concentrate on the drumming throughout, and I guarantee you'll be amazed.

yeah!!! They're really cool!
Come on, they ARE good! Is it true that they performed "Flash's Theme" at a couple of live shows? I heard they did.

Are you serious???? That is AWESOME!
What is this DVD called, specifically? And does Dave Grohl play their drums (I'm guessing not, but I can dream can't I?) ?
RUSH RULE!!!! They're not Queen, but they rule! I even have a line of one of their songs as my sig!
Rush are awesome musicians with tuns of great songs , believe me they can hold their own and they're one of my favorite bands granted they're not as big as Queen their musics not as mainstream as Queen but please don't start telling me they're nobodys

16 months to reply... haha, sorry about that! I'm pretty sure it's the only DVD they've ever released. It's called "The Complete Masterworks".
