Rush finally got a nomination for the Rock Hall of Fame few days ago. They should have been nominated a long time ago. Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and Signals are an excellent run of albums. The combined technical proficiency of the 3 Rush members is 5 times bigger than of Beatles and Stones members combined. That's pretty much fact and non-debatable.

Eh, who cares??!! They are not even in the same ballpark of the artists you list. That is non debatable.
Nothing against Rush, I know they have a huge diehard following. I KNOW they are suppose to be great musicians also. Great, does nothing for me. I went to see them/record them a few years ago to kind of see what it was all about. I was kind of bored to be honest. I love concerts, but I kept looking at my watch to see when it would be over. I rarely do that, for any concert I'm at.

You're entitled to your opinion, of course. Rush is not everyone's cup of tea.
But nothing you said was non-debatable. Sorry.

Rush isn't so great. They never got their picture on bubblegum cards, did they? Have you ever seen their picture on a bubblegum card? Hmmm? How can you say a someone is great who's never had their picture on bubblegum cards?

Awesome.
So to sum up this thread...
U2 masterminded 9/11 as a way to become relevant again after Pop.
U2 wrote Elevation as a tribute to Richard Gere's sex life
Rush is greater than the Beatles and Stones combined.
We're never getting a new album

We don't. We're dicks.
Its why Paul McGuinness won't let us have Songs of Ascent. The album's been finished for years. We don't deserve to hear it. Too many hits.

Well, this discussion is not as depressing as over on @U2, where they're discussing all that they've accomplished in their lives since the release of NLOTH. Though maybe not quite as entertaining.

Personally? I'm a massive cock. The band read my posts and decided not to release any more albums. I guess I understand.....

I swallowed a bottle of pills and washed it down with a fifth of vodka as soon as Billy Joel came up.

even if that happens to be true......
.... The Beatles song writing abilities (whether Lennon-McCartney or Harrision, or even songs where John or Paul weremost dominant in shaping the music/lyrics) is astounding from incredible pop, to Psychedelic, to some of the amazing White Album songs... plus their musianship did begin to shine by Rubber Soul.
One of the major differences between them (besides being the musical part of igniting "The Sixties") and most other bands after them is that they stopped touring ?about less than halfway through their recording career.
That's why i can not say they are the best band ever since i rate both on recordings and LIVE shows.
And I prefer a Pantheon of Greatness versus strict Hierarchy.

You're preaching to the choir here. I very much prefer both The Beatles and The Stones (and Pink Floyd, and Jimi Hendrix etc etc etc) to Rush. I absolutely LOVE The Beatles. But Rush is a great band that made some fine records. i'm more of a casual Rush fan or something like that. But i recognise they deserve a place in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. And it's a fact that all 3 Rush members are genius in their instruments (not counting the voice of Geddy Lee as an "instrument", please).

Hey, if you all want to tear yourselves away from talking about off-topic crap for a second, @U2 has some delicious rumors that basically agree with what the pessimists around here have been saying:
Column: off the record ..., vol. 12-535
Album late 2013, tour in 2014.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Fall 2013 is the EARLIEST we can hope for at this point.

In the hierachy of bands, I rate Rush just a few notches below these guys:

Hey man, why are we talking about The Beatles and The Stones instead of U2?
That's it, I'm outta here, heading over to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame member Rush forums. At least they have a new record out.
See you cats when there's a new "remaster".

Late 2013 is another year away...I'm chomping at the bit now with impatience... forget previous patterns in output, I'd prefer some more regular output generally - I hope this rumour isn't true...
