The funny thing is, if I like a band or a movie or something that has some sort of potential flaw, but it appeals to me anyway, I can totally see how others might not like it, and I have no problem admitting that. To each his own, you know? I think Rush is one of those band where you either love them or hate them*, and they do have several things that others could easily find objectionable. But damn, that guy was adamant that they are the best thing ever.
*not in my case. I actually think they're okay at times. I can listen to 6 songs a year by them, be satisfied, and not listen to them for another year or so. But their show was rather unmemorable, I was being honest about that.
