Rush. The band. Almost nobody in my high school liked them. In the 80s even.
What? LIVING IN THE LIMELIGHT, THE UNIVERSAL DREEEAAAAMMMMM.
I may or may not own most of the Rush records. I'm that weird millennial with a vinyl collection/system you could buy a decent car with.....
All Rush. All the time. No exceptions.
I tried to like Rush. I like a lot of similar artists and thought it was a sure thing. I can appreciate their skill. Their music just does nothing for me :/
I couldn't stand Rush in the 80's as I was listening to Zeppelin and Hendrix and they seemed pop-py to me. Then I started listening to them again in the 00s and really enjoyed them. Tastes change I guess.
I got teased like I think I still have PTSD. They just weren’t cool or too nerdy in my hometown. Stuff like Motley Crüe and Poison and Guns N' Roses. That’s where it was at, which wasn’t my thing. I was into Yes and Tull and Crimson.
I absolutely hate rush. Their songs all sound like they're trying way too hard and they're all playing a different song.
I see zero appeal in any of their stuff. There are no real hooks and everything is just some ultra deep vibe that I can never get into.
Name the last time you couldn't get a rush song out of ur head...
I really can't stand Geddy Lee's voice. So, for me, their best song is YYZ 😅
