The musicianship of Alex,Geddy and Neil are beyond reproach. Their live shows however arent as great as they used to be in my opinion.

I don't even like them but I do respect them. They're one of those bands that is truly artistic, and even if you don't appreciate it for what it is (and I don't), you gotta appreciate that they have the cajones to pull it off AND sell out stadiums.

They are an amazing band. Neil Peart is a genious, no less. Like joshwayy said, the word is TIGHT.
Hate their vocals, hate their "sci-fi" style music and lyrics, but they truly are musicians. I cant think of a rock act that plays more complex music than they do, and for that, I have the utmost repsect for them.
Oh, and they sound awesome....most of the time

Hee hee...Lenny, your comment reminded me of what the Trailer Park Boys had to say about Rush...
Ricky: "It's stupid sh*t, like how outer space works and how trees are talkin' to each other and f*cked up sh*it like that...now Helix, that was an awesome rock show. "Gimme an R-O-C-K-!" and the crowd screams "ROCK!"
Bubbles: "Rush are f*ckin' great...not like that Helix sh*t...I mean geez, gimme a f*ckin' R..."

I am not a huge fan but how can you not respect the guys? Peart is one of the top drummers in the world. Johnny is good and fits well with the Hip but his expertise on the drums is far behind Peart's. They are all very good to great musicians and play music for the right reasons. Don't have to like 'em but you gotta respect them. As for them being overrated, I strongly disagree with that statement. The most overrated band in the world is U2. Heck, I like U2 but all this "greatest band in the world" talk about them is foolish.

I was just going to say that. Actually I was going to say it earlier but forgot. You get my sloppy seconds. :lol:
His drumming on the live album Listener Supported blows me away. Hands down the best drumming on any album I own.
