You KNOW that Bubba's on here...

The fact is, with the exception of a few well known Rush songs on the radio in the classic rock genre, most people have no idea who Rush is and they're not interested in knowing either. Most women I know detest Geddy's voice. It's like some kind of frequency that pinches a nerve in their brain or something. My wife is most irritated by his vibrato. Initially I wasn't sure if I liked them back then either. I remember feeling that Alex's solos were at times atonally dissonant with unusual intervals. It was like nothing I ever heard. Now I appreciate the complexity, skill and new layers of sound that were created.

A lot of people like pop. I don't get it, but I don't think they're entirely stupid. Rush is an acquired taste.

I love the aforementioned bands. They wrote good songs. Our favorite band however wrote epics, so I don't expect most people to understand them. It makes it even more special to me. Rush is MY band.
