Well, I hope to turn you guys into die hard Rush fans. Although, Geddy's voice is actually the big reason I hear when it comes to Rush hate.

I love their lyrics...I don't find them too nonsensical. They usually cover some pretty cool issues. Are there any specific songs you are talking about?

Thanks! Signals is one of my favorites also. I also really like Grace Under Pressure, but that seems to be iffy for some people. Neil Peart showing up in the ATHF movie was hilarious. "The drum solo of life!" They also have some pretty entertaining videos playing during their concerts as well.
