Feliz Navidad is perhaps the worst song I have ever heard.

I agree. I think we have a little of the Phantom Phenomenon* at work here.

LOL

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.

so radio play is a sign of quality or greatness?


oh how the mighty has beens could've been

I said "YYZ" by Rush, even though I love all of the others, but I have seen the sheet music and played it, and it is a tour de force.

It also only started out as Morse Code for Montreal's airport code and was put into song. I also love prog rock, because I play drums.

I love "Green Onions" by Booker T. and the MGs, but if you play drums, playing blues for the most part is like watching paint dry, unless the person with whom you're playing is extremely good.

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

Overplayed? Did Jeff Spicoli just walk into Mr. Hand's classroom and order a pizza in your dimension?

Precisely which dimension would that be, since different states give different bands different airplay?
