Spinless:
What else are we supposed to talk about in this thread? Let's just see where the discussion takes us! Sit back and relax.
bbqrocks:
I haven't and I won't. No music is above criticism.

Do you mean he's the best bassist AND vocalist? Or the best person to do both at once?
Singing and playing bass IS way harder than singing and playing guitar, I'll grant you that. But I find his vocals and bass tone incredibly grating.
I feel bad bagging on Rush because from everything I've read they're all really nice guys (with the possible exception of Neal Peart, but then again I hate anybody who takes Ayn Rand seriously). But yeah, I really do not enjoy their music.

This.

Agreed; I've never heard anything that implies Geddy Lee is a bad person, but man, do I hate XYZ.
Anyway, yeah, it must be really grating for the posters that have been around a long time to keep hearing the implication that they're really elitist, although in the case of this thread I think people are being perhaps a bit oversensitive; the OP doesn't seem really confrontational. That said, I've only been really heavily posting for the last month or two (I've been bored), and I've seen at least a half dozen rather backhanded posts implying such, so I understand how even the hint of such accusations can really touch a nerve at this point. But honestly, were I to post about Hall and Oates right now, there'd be some good natured snickering about mustaches, but that's hardly the same as people screeching like howler monkeys and throwing feces at me until I flee the forum.
