| | | | Toss up between Rush, and ELO, but ELO won out because Rush is too mainstream, and way too overplayed. |

I've been a Rush fan for over 20 years and seen them live over 40 times. This is the first time I've ever heard them described as too mainstream and overplayed.
And fwiw, I hear Fire on High played on the radio with considerably greater frequency than YYZ. |

Rep Power: 349 | | | If I want to hear an instrumental, I prefer Mozart. Instrumentals by rock groups are boring and self-indulgant, IMO.
I never for the life of me understood how anyone could stand listening to Drums in Space.

| Okay, I'm down with that, too.
Then how about Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition by Emerson Lake and Palmer?
Not to your liking?
Okay how about Tchiakowski's "March of the Sugar Plum Fairies" ALSO by ELP?
Still not your taste?
How about Jose Filiciano's rendidtion of Handel's FIREWORKS?
Maybe the Saturday Night Fevor version of Night on Bald Mountain works for you? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
