I have no idea who "Creed" might be, actually. Never heard a thing from them, at least that I know.

RUSH was a little silly, but I appreciate a bit of silliness in my entertainment. Better than getting it in my news!

This sounds weird, but I think some of it may be due to the high-pitched voice of Geddy Lee (especially in the earlier years). My wife can't stand the higher notes, and I read a study where most women like bass sounds more than the treble. Plus, not too many love songs! Although she did go to a concert with me when we were first dating ("I gotta marry me this gal!)

I was thinking of going to their concert in the Seattle area this summer (White River Amphitheatre). What do folks think about bringing my 9 year-old son? He's just starting guitar ($100 acoustic variety!) and thought he might have enjoy it. I have a feeling it wouldn't hold his attention though.

Sources tell me that Rush's shows so far haven't exactly been a ticket scalper's dream, if you know what I mean.

Thank God.

And may Rush soon join them ;-)

Just to give an idea of how pop-culture-clueless I am, I had no idea this band ever existed in the first place.

I only listen to AM radio & a local jazz FM station anymore!

Great news! Now if only Dave Matthews decided to hang 'em up I could die a happy man.

The lead singer is the former frontman for Stone Temple Pilots

He does an excellent cover of Jailhouse Rock. He knows it very, very well.

Chicks loved Journey (in the late 70's and early 80's), and Steve Perry's voice was pretty darn high-pitched.

If you're speaking carnally, I guess there would be certain advantages.

I like DMB...however my interest in them has faded big time in the last 3 years. I used to do road trips to see them. Now I only will see them MAYBE if they come to my area. Too bad they are playing the same nights in Florida that Rush are...:)

Rush wins.

Good call, and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one out there who thinks he's way overrated.

I think RUSH is appropriate for young kids. There's no misogyny, foul language, or body parts hanging out. They're from an era when you didn't have to double-check everything for objectionable content.

Rush is cool, if you like falsetto yodelling to eighties-style, electro-techno, grooves.

I figured they were playing Star Trek conventions by now.

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Popular Music has sucked for at least 10 years now.
