Yeah and that cheesy keyboard part before the solo was pretty lame too.
What are those trinkets that the drummer is hitting, that makes the gay fairy-like noise? Coke bottle caps? |
Right! Like i said, the worst drum solo ever. Let's beat on a little plastic cylinder--ROCK AND ROLL MOTHERF[U]CKER!!! |

I have no clue who Rush is but apparently their drummer is a crappy lyricist.
Sting tops list of worst lyricists Mon Oct 8, 6:20 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Maybe Sting should start writing more instrumentals.
The school teacher-turned-rock star topped Blender's list of the worst lyricists, thanks to lines that betray "mountainous pomposity (and) cloying spirituality," the music magazine said.
The survey, contained in the November issue that hits newsstands next week, placed Rush drummer Neil Peart at No. 2, Creed frontman Scott Stapp at No. 3, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher at No. 4, and soft-rocker Dan Fogelberg at No. 5.
Blender assailed Sting for such alleged sins as name-dropping Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov in the Police tune "Don't Stand So Close to Me," quoting a Volvo bumper sticker ("If You Love Someone Set Them Free"), and co-opting the works of Chaucer, St. Augustine and Shakespeare.
A spokeswoman for the English rocker, who is currently in Belgium on the Police's reunion world tour, did not respond to a request for comment.
Blender described Canadian rocker Peart's lyrics as "richly awful tapestries of fantasy and science," and said Gallagher "seemed incapable of following a metaphor through a single line, let alone a whole verse."
Further down the ranks, Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant (No. 23) was derided for his Tolkienesque musings on Gollum and Mordor in "Ramble On."
Carly Simon (No. 31) was mocked for rhyming "yacht," "apricot" and "gavotte" in "You're So Vain."
Paul McCartney made No. 38, thanks in part to "Ebony and Ivory," his socially conscious duet with Stevie Wonder. |

Trolling, eh? 
I would spend fat cash on Rush tickets, and it's pretty painful for me to spend money.
A Passage to Bangkok is their best song EVERRRRRRR~

P.S. Ooops, just read through the thread, and I guess you weren't trolling. I really respect their music, and I think they're very talented.
I feel really old now... =( |

Um...OK. I shan't be checking her stuff out on youtube, that's for sure. How can you devine a poster's musical tastes by their posting style.  Clearly you can not!  |

Wow I never knew anyone who couldn't listen to Queen. They are possibly one of the best bands ever.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists
Check that out, they are in the select group of musicians that have sold 250 million or more albums.
About Rush...their 70s stuff that would fit into the classic rock genre is what I like. That 80s synthesizer sound is just crap. I really haven't heard much of what they have done recently. They are one of Canada's most famous bands, considering they have been playing for over 30 years.
Personally, I'd rather listen to Barenaked Ladies or The Tragically Hip if I am looking for some Canadian music. |

Geddy Lee's Passage to Bangkok.
Didn't he spend the whole time in a guest house on Kho San road.
Or did he venture out and find a lady boy in Patpong. |

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.
You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me
And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave
I'd be a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend
You needed me
You needed me |

I only like the Barenaked Ladies if I'm driving somewhere and its on the radio, or if I'm in a waiting room. The Tragically Hip are a terrible, terrible band, almost as bad as The Tea Party (but not quite as bad). |

I know the feeling. I like the bands you listed (except Rush, I'm not familiar with them) but there are some bands that everyone likes (to the point where its almost blasphemy not to) that I just can't stand, such as:
1. Metallica
2. AC/DC
3. Cold Play
4. Led Zepplin
5. Iron Maiden
...and I realize I'm going to get flamed for at least three of these, but I can't help it. They do nothing for me and I've never really liked the song "Stairway to Heaven".
