Doesn't matter if you agree, it's my opinion.
You might get better responses from people if you didn't come in here and saying something that pretty much comes across like this:
"All right, listen, you turkeys! Rush is the greatest band ever! U2 are sellouts and utter crap! My opinion is fact!"
You also might want to consider that some of the people who disagree with you a) have heard Rush; b) acknowledge their technical prowess and mad musical skillz; c) and STILL DON'T LIKE THEM ANYWAY.
Just because someone doesn't like Rush on this site doesn't make them some sort of drooling, whiny fanboy/girl.
The one thing I never quite understood was how many try and label Rush as this incredibly "innovative" band, they weren't. Yes they tried a lot of different things, but most of it was in step with their contemporaries at the time (except the chicken thing, but that was just stupid).
You're not reading what I'm saying.
It IS a FACT that U2 HAVE sold out and Rush HAVE NOT. And it IS a FACT that all three members of Rush are better musicians than U2 are, technically speaking - ANY musician can tell you that.

Get it?
This is possibly the silliest thing I've read on Interference. I'm a musician who's seen both bands live, and Rush are fucking horrible. OMG, what happened to your proof!!!//???//?/??!!?//11/??

Hey baby, its a quarter to eight
I feel Im in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late

Well, hey now, baby
Dont you talk so fast
Im just tryn to make these good times,
Im tryn to make it last
Evrythings getting hazy
Now honey, whered you go?
I just want to find out, baby
Whered you learn what you know?
Hey baby, its a quarter to eight
I feel Im in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel Ive got to move
Well, hey now, baby

You really got me, baby
Way down deep inside
Oo, you drive me crazy
Baby, youre the one
I just want to rock-and-roll you woman
Until the night is gone
Hey baby, its a quarter to eight
I feel Im in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel Ive got to move

HONEST.LAAAAY. this is obscene.
ANY Rush fan knows that.
This is possibly the silliest thing I've read on Interference. I'm a musician who's seen both bands live, and Rush was beyond terrible live. Technicality is completely irrelevant to making good art, whether it's music or otherwise. In addition to that, ALL art ends up coming down to personal preference and connection. All of these comparisons are completely pointless and useless, as one person's treasure is another's trash.

Hogwash. Rush arguably invented the progressive hard rock genre in the mid 70s. Not to mention Alex's innovative utilization of suspended chords/arpeggios, etc., etc.
What's an opinion?
