No doubt the GOAT. My favorite band of all time. Just put all my Rush on shuffle and the first song to come on was vital signs. Oh baby RIP Neil.

Gotta be honest - Geddy Lee's shriek of a voice put me off Rush. My little brother was into them but I couldn't get past that voice. I can listen to Tom Sawyer and that's about it. For artsy-farts rock - ELP and Yes were my go-tos.

I've heard many people piss all over Rush through the years. The only criticism that ever seemed honest was his voice. I can see where people might not like it. To each his own.Joe Shlabotnik wrote:Gotta be honest - Geddy Lee's shriek of a voice put me off Rush. My little brother was into them but I couldn't get past that voice.

But the people that said Rush was just awful across the board, or hacks, or whatever other unfounded insults I've heard over the years... well, those people are just flat wrong.

I let Geddy's voice keep me away for a lot of years but I'm not sure what happened but I finally got into them into my 30s and I'm so glad I did. One of my favorite bands now.GeddyWrox wrote:I've heard many people piss all over Rush through the years. The only criticism that ever seemed honest was his voice.
