I must be the only one who likes Rush.

Rush was decent, but not a big fan. I will say they are all excellent musicians.

I can’t get by the voice of the singer.
I would have liked Super Tramp more with a more traditional singer also although he is much better.

yeah, Geddy Lee is definitely an acquired taste, which I never really acquired.

Can't tell you how many times I have read The Martian Chronicles...

Usher II, within the Chronicles, is clearly a horror story.

My 17 Favorite Rock and Roll Lead Guitarists in Alphabetical Order

1. Chuck Berry
2. Bo Diddley
3. Elvis Costello
4. David Gilmore
5. George Harrison

No Alex Lifeson...impossible! (lol)

No Marty McFly ?!

Marty McFly understood rock and roll. Thank you.
If one does not remember the reference Marty plays the Chuck Berry riff which no one ever heard before ( only the greatest riff in rock and roll history ) and Chuck Berry’s cousin calls him on the phone to hear it in the background and the rest is history - I hope I recounted that correctly.
