Rush

Ska Lagos Jew Sun Ra · 07-29-2010, 01:50 AM

Always a fan of Rush. One of the few bands that I can say has entirely a sound of it's own, really, and worlds of respect for the uniqueness, and quality of their mellow melodic songwriting style.

Strange though, no matter how complex, or heavy(by 70s standards) they can get at times they're always so unbelievably calming. Amazing band.

The members of Rush have technical skill but their songs are pretentious bull****.

The Clash, Motley Crue, Thin Lizzy and The Stooges. And I can tell from your last.fm profile you're really into prog rock. You are in no place to judge me.

Goody a Rush thread! I like The Trees, Tom Sawyer (of course), The Spirit of Radio, pretty much mainstream stuff, but my favorite song by them is YYZ from Moving Pictures.

These bands listed are not really notable bands that are usually considered progressive rock, if that is what you are referring to in the above list? Motley Crue was a good band musically, for my taste, "but only if they had a different lead vocalist" other than Vince Neil.., I always liked a few songs by Thin Lizzy (classic), but the more popular progressive rock bands would be bands like.. Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Rush, before the peak of progressive rock in the '70s.

in his previous post he discounted boo boo's taste because his last.fm had a lot of prog acts. pretty sure he didn't mean this to be his top 4 prog acts of all time list.

yeah trace87 that's what I meant. And for the record I just think prog rock in general is pretentious, not necessarily in bad taste.
