(I am a fan of all three of those bands but your statement makes no fucking sense)
KeepACoolin:
I think that Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment do a better job of writing fun music. Yes, they are even more technically complex and more theoretical, but I enjoy their music a lot more. Ultimately, music is, after all, subjective (so, no, Blitzkrieg Bop is not better than DT or LTE, because I don't think it is). Therefore, I can believe who I want to believe is overrated, and enjoy who I enjoy. Besides, I think Neil Peart is a douche.

You could get away with saying DT are less guilty of writing technical music for technicalities sake than Rush, if you had a real silver tongue but Liquid Tension Experiment are one of the biggest wank bands on the planet.

I enjoy listening to Rush songs a great deal more than DT or LTE, both of whom I would put into the category of very talented prog rock musicians who write abominably shitty music. They are neither pleasant nor interesting, for the most part it's just obnoxious, showy "LOOK AT OUR TALENT" wankery. Also, sorry, but Neil Peart/Geddy Lee >>>>>>>>>>Mike Portnoy/John Myung. I'm fairly indifferent towards Alex Lifeson, but really, Rush's rhythm section is damn near untouchable.
Hat:
Really if you're going to argue for anything making Rush's music inaccessible, you'd probably put the blame on Pearts lyrics before you accused them of instrumental wankery.
