    This is another great example of music snobs being the worst thing that could ever happen to music and musicians. These dickless cardigan wearing assholes sit here and, in a whiney, nasally voice, talk about how, for example, Bob Dylan revolutionized music in ways that transcend the entire creation of the guitar, or how this beat or that chord sequence are signs of sheer genius, artfullness, and emotion.

    But the great fucking bands that people loved, love, and will always love, and who are actually fucking associated with rock and fucking roll, keep getting left out by those worthless cocksuckers still bragging about the mushrooms they gave to some hippy girl back in 1971 and how she went down on them afterwards, while omitting the part where she only did that because the mushrooms gave her munchies and she thought she had an icecream cone but was too stoned to notice.

    Fuck, schmucks like Fallwell and Robertson are more fun than music snobs.

    Amen, brother. And once again, no Rush.

    The Dave Fucking Clark Fucking Five? You cannot be serious. There is not a cogent argument any rational, sentient human being with an IQ north of 80 can make to justify this selection. None.

    Not even you, Bubbler. You can (incorrectly) slam Rush all you want, but there is no reason -- N-O-N-E -- for this selection.

    Channelling Fenian Jesus wept. :'(

    Whatever... ::)

    And the RRHOF will continue to be a bad joke.

    You think he has it bad?
    That's nothing in comparison to what this guy is going through:

    If this were my Web site, I would set up a macro so that anytime someone tried to type:

    The guys in Rush are musical geniuses! (or any variation) it would come out

    I couldn't get laid in high school!

    Then I'd put on a Warrant tape.

    That's what I'd do. ;)


    I'm kidding. And by kidding, I mean completely serious.

    It's worthless to me to argue about Rush being in the HOF. They're my favorite group and I don't care if the RnRHOF doesn't acknowledge them. Putting Madonna in there is enough reason to be HAPPY that Rush isn't lumped in with her.

    I loved Rush prior to Permanent Waves; it was a prog rock band that actually rocked. But I don't think they've been at that level the past 27 years. Even emphasizing their prime, I don't really see them as a Hall of Fame band.
