unpopular opinion, but...rush sucks.
before you attack me and start gushing about Neil Peart, people can be talented and still make terrible music.
I get it. Some people prefer hot dogs and McNuggets over steak and lobster. No judgment here.
AggieOO is totally right. Look at a band like dragon force, or dream theater, or a guy like devin townsend.. all musicians that are savant level talented, but it's clearly not everyone's cup of tea, and there are def. super talented people that make terrible music in lots of people's opinions.
If you ask a random symphony or film score composer if they like, oh say, Ghost of Perdition by Opeth, he probably thinks it's terrible, but musically speaking, it's off the charts talented.
I'm a musician (guitar, drums, piano), I love all sorts of prog metal and rock/metal in general, but I am not going to sit here and say I love rush. I like some of their songs, and some parts of other songs. I know how to play a lot of their riffs, and drum parts even, but I never just put them on, and they aren't in any of my playlists.
I feel like if I was born maybe 6-7 years earlier I would like Rush a lot more (and zeppelin for that matter). But I was born in 1980, so instead, I like Tool!
I totally get why people don't get into Tool. It's very acquired, but I don't think those that don't acquire it are cursed with a bland musical ear.
