That's exactly why I created this poll. I wanted to test the fanboyism up to its limit. I couldn't actually believe someone would vote for Rush in the poll but looks like I was wrong.

If everything else includes beer, than Rush loses by a mile in my books.

I mean, "everything else" includes beer, sex, Mark Twain, choice, pause buttons, rap, sculpturing, comic books, destructive egos, and trees.
But maybe Rush has it covered:
beer- "Natural Science"
sex- "In the Mood"
Mark Twain- "Tom Sawyer"
pause buttons- "Time Stand Still"
rap- "Roll the Bones"
sculpturing- "Carve Away the Stone"
comic books- "Ghost Rider"
destructive egos- "Malignant Narcissism"
trees- ...well, I'm not sure they have anything about tress...
|
Yes, Rush has 'The Trees' from Hemispheres
|
Yeah, that was sort of the joke.
|
 Wait, I don't get it.

Though I like Rush, doesn't everything else have to win out by definition?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

There's no way Rush could go up against Ditka.
Everything else wins on this one.

After thinking long and hard about this one I had to vote for Rush in the end, everything else is just not quite as good in my opinion. This includes; warm weather, cute puppies, time with family, good films, chocolate cake, loving relationships and winning money.

Everything else, including, inter alia, hamburgers, brown shoes, pigeons, Erik Satie, me, black shoes, saxophones, Jean Vigo, red shoes, cheese, Charles Bukowski, theoretical physics, green shoes, Russian pianos, lipstick, pocket watches and blue shoes.

The sad part about my fanboyism is that it's not too far from the truth that I prefer Rush

Livin' La Vida Loca is perhaps the greatest song ever written. Period. Well, other than She Bangs, which was the underappreciated pinnacle of this great composer's career. If rush covered both of those songs, I'd have to reconsider...

Should have created that poll somewhere else than in Just for fun. It doesn't get enough views.

That second paragraph was a quick but effective description of paradise.

That's what you are expectingdoing tonight if i remember correctly, minus the beach of course plus the cold, n'est ce pas, Olivier?? |
Hehe, actually, it's on wednesday. But yeah. Well, I don't know if I should play Moon in June. Just in case it chases 'em away.
