So much for that.
What are your exacting standards for admission gipper? You have to like them?
What are your exacting standards for admission gipper? You have to like them?
What would be MY standards? . Sure, I would say that MY first standard would be that I should like them. It is because you like Rush that you seem to be pushing so hard for them
But, I don't get a vote, so what MY standards are are irrelevant. The same for you.
Suffice it to say that by whatever standards those that DO vote maintain, they have not yet seen fit to believe that Rush has lived up to those standards.
There are some acts that I like that I believe are deserving of inclusion....moreso than Rush certainly, but the RRHOF hasn't seen fit to include those either.
So, in my mind and apparently in the minds of those who do count, Rush is far far back in the queue.

You can't argue with RUSH fan. After they get done playing Dungeons and Dragrons talking about how RUSH is the greatest band and ever is their favorite thing to do.

I'm not pushing for it, I've barely made a peep in the rush debate, but if you tune into 98.5 here in Cleveland you'll hear 2-4 rush songs during a work day. They've got a lot of hits, they get a lot of airplay right up there with queen ac dc van halen the rolling stones etc...to me that means they have a legitimate chance

Really? I listen to 98.5 quite a bit, and except occasionally "Working Man" I don't hear much out of them. Or maybe its just that when I hear them come on I punch the button to another station.
In fact, I don't think I know any other songs by them except Working Man...which is, at its core, a pretty good song....and about the only one I can tolerate.
To be fair to them, I can't really judge their music because I cannot get past Geddy Lee's awful voice. It is like scratching fingernails on a blackboard. Maybe otherwise they are quite good musically, but when he opens up, I tune off. I have the same basic issue with AC/DC.

Yeah, back when I lived in Cleveland, WNCX played the shit out of Rush. 2-4 songs a work day sounds about right. The other ones that often get airtime are Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Closer to the Heart, Freewill, Subdivisions, and The Trees. Hell, YYZ got played probably about as often as Focus by Hocus Pocus.

Actually I do recall that there is one other song that I know: Fly by Night which got play on WMMS.

Unless I turn it off at the sound of a Rush song coming on....which I told you is what I did....though, it is possible that I may know those songs if I hear them.

This was the thread we were arguing about recruiting and stuff, right?
Well here is an interesting article on OSU vs Michigan recruiting rivalry.
Good to see Michigan off to a strong start.

See what your Michigan education is doing for you? It is turning you into Norm Crosby.
I suspect you don't know that name. Look it up.
-
Norm Crosby (born September 15, 1927) is an American comedian sometimes associated with the Borscht Belt who often appeared on television in the 1970s. He is known for his use of malapropisms and is often called The Master of Malaprop. He was born in Boston.
A malapropism is the misuse of similar sounding words, especially with humorous results. An example is Yogi Berra's statement: "Texas has a lot of electrical votes,"[1] rather than "electoral votes".

So you know absolutely nothing about Rush apparently, but know that they don't belong in the RRHOF?
Rush & Kiss not being in the RRHOF is a big reason most people think it is a joke.
