When and if I get the chance I'd definitely pay and go to see a Rush concert, no doubt coz it's awesome live, however I am not a fan, they remind me of the Chipmunks, maybe because of Geddy's vocals (especially the earlier albums) and Neil Peart yes jajaja I know he is a brilliant drummer right there at the top, I have read their biography inc. Peart's tho'.

Actually, he did say that he does not consider it music, he didn't claim that it isn't. Yes, there's a difference when you frame an opinion as clearly referring to your personal tastes and preferences or as simply forcing it as a generalization on others. You clearly haven't learnt that distinction yet.

I have an idea, if you don't like Rush then go post somewhere else. No one wants to read negativity. We're all prog fans and that in itself should bind us instead of stabbing at eachothers preference within the prog sphere. if you want to make some sly ass remark about Rush like "THEY SOUND LIKE THE CHIPMUNKS JAJAJAJA!" or "I DON"T CONSIDER RUSH MUSIC!" then go post something on another topic please and thank you. it doesn't sound cool by the way to trash on one of the greatest bands to live |

but if everyone only posted "i love rush so much!!!" and no one ever gave any other perspectives or opinions then there would be no discussion and it would just be a circle jerk of rush fanboys

Yeah, if it's his early vocals you don't like, you would surely prefer their live sound. His voice sounds very full and powerful, as does the whole band; just compare the studio version of Natural Science to the one on Different Stages. |

The question isn't whether or not Rush is a decent band. The question is where do they fall as far as prog rock goes, which is an interesting question considering they've only done a handful of bonafide conceptual prog albums. It's almost like the others have street cred because of what came before, or in some cases what came after. If they only released Power Windows would anyone consider them a prog band? Probably not. Eclectic is probably not a strong enough term to describe the manner in which Rush plows forward with no regard for precedent.

You will not because I haven't. I haven't said any goddamn negative thing about Rush or any other of 'your' favourite bands in this thread many of which, by the way, happen to be my favourites as well.

ProgressiveMike, I did not mean to offend you or anyone else for that
matter, my sincere apologies seeing you took offense. This is a discussion
forum, whatever I say will not make any difference whatsoever to the band (it has no affect on them), nothing; it’s like air or a tiny drop in the ocean
really. They are well established musicians, excellent musicians in fact with a
huge fan base/ following. They are not my preference choice considering the
abundance of other choices available, but this is ok too. The remark chipmunk
was meant as a joke, because Geddy has a high pitched voice. In terms of major
bands my views are less radical compared to yours (new and struggling bands I not
rather not comment if their music is not particularly my taste) i.e. David
Byron is one of my all-time favorite vocalist, his vocals are instrumental yet I still jokingly say he
looked like a club54/Saturday night fever, gay porn star. Again my sincere apologies, I meant it as a joke maybe it
was in poor taste and not appropriate for sensitive and loving fans. |

how did i contradict myself? where did i previously say people shouldn't post if they don't like something? if you're referring to the KC thing with you, we've told you multiple times the issue was not that you don't like KC but the way you tried to force it upon others and acted like your taste was superior |

Thank you Kati. I'm sorry that I got so upset over the comment. Just to let you know I work at a record store where I am constantly in shock and disgust at what people acutally purchase but I understand it's all a matter of opinion and I applaude the fact that they aren't illegally downloading their music instead. Anyway the music I play in store is constantly criticized and I've grown a little defensive over the years when someone trashes music I love. Not that it has changed my behavior or my preferences one bit. Except that I don't play the Residents anymore lol.
