While Neil Young and Leonard Cohen may be awesome, Rush would just plug in their amps and play an E5 chord with a badass bass line and Neil Young's head would totally explode. Then Rush would produce puppies from their hats and start jamming on "Seeker" by The Who while all the awesome Canadian babes just start popping out of their (Rush's) amp head carrying baskets of donuts and high quality marijuana. Then Wayne Gretzky would walk on stage and say something like "Man Rush totally made Neil Young's head explode with the power of ROCK!"
besides everyone knows the French put Canada on the map. (or was it the Vikings?)
hehe I mean no harm to Canada, I was just trying to explain to those who could not tell a rock band from a glazed ham how awesome Rush is. Here I made an equation to help explain...
Rush = The power of awesome * Neil Pert's Drum Set + A wicked bass line^4 * 3(cuz there are three band members)
Originally posted by simsalabimwell there's many sides to Neil Young, but in full flight with Crazy Horse he made the rawest bleeding-edge heart-shredding rock ever created. Definitely a Rock God.

Another great Canadian band -The Cowboy Junkies
Rush sucks. I don't care how many levels Neil Peart has on his rack-mounted, panoramic drum kit, his band is boring.
And to quote one of my favourite songwriters: "What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?"
Currently Canada is a hotbed for many great acts. I pray that one day Rush will be forgotten in the annuls of time. I for one will not miss them.
Can I just make it clear to people who might believe otherwise that bands such as Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park are not rock, but in fact a bunch of flower-peppered pansies doing pop with distorted guitars, pretending to be troubled and yet somehow remembering to tie their shoelaces and brush their teeth before their mummies take them to school. Thank you for you time 🙂

Mass-marketed angst has never been so good.
