Just put of by Netflix streaming. Rush was the most solid and cool and allaround awesome band of the past half century. 'Now I didn't ask for no argument'.
I did not know Rush was in a band.
Max Kibbe, the Freedom Works, Tea Party guy, I’m rather sure I visited his facebook page and he likes the Grateful Dead, I like some of that music as well. Apparently states this in his wiki profile.

Ramones is another band that rocked as well.
Black Sabbath
He was asked about the push for amnesty and he said he doesn’t believe in borders at all. He says Rand was a phase that he now rejects. I still like the band and have in spite of Peart’s constant atheist message, but he is on the right no longer.
Swinging Blue Jeans!
I have been told by leftists that I “can’t possibly be conservative and like the Dead”. They can’t say why, and I’m not really convinced that I need their permission. Good to know that about Max Kibbe. Ann Coulter, Deroy Murdock, and just about everyone I knew in college are also right of center fans of the Dead.
Peart must be one of the most skillful and technical drummers of all time yet I prefer the styles of Paice and Bonham. It’s all a matter of taste!
Whatever, Tom Sawyer... *SMIRK*
good songs and this is high praise from a Led Zeppelin fan [Album II rules]....Doesn't the bass in "Tom Sawyer" and "Closer to the Heart" remind you of 'Yes" ??
Van Halen. Specifically Eddie Van Halen, and a hat tip to David Lee Roth.

“A realization I had lately: it is impossible to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and be a Republican.” —Niel Peart
> Heh; that’s a double negative. So which has the harder drum parts, YYZ or La Villa Strangiato?
Hard to say but definately one for The Working Man to figure out...: )
> Grand Funk Railroad are the finest musicians who ever stepped foot on a stage to play rock and roll.
Well they did have that one great song....: )
What follows that statement is utterly discombobulated. Panhandlers are not the “poor” that Jesus mentioned at all; for the most part they are among the ones called “drunkards”. Never mind Peart’s looking forward to meeting “Jesus or Allah or Buddha”, thinking he will be “all right”.
I went to about 85 Dead shows in the 70s and 80s. Someone can be a Republican and like the Dead, though their following when they toured was rife with drug use, promiscuity, and a lot of phony “peace and love.”
One thing I’ll say, to me easily a great rock epic song is Kashmir by LZ. Nothing like it, it’s amazing.
True, up to "Permanent Waves", then he stopped squealing like a banshee for the most part.
yeah, right...
