Lonesome EJ, you must be a mind reader in that I fully agree with everything in your post. I was a teenager in Toronto (Rush's hometown) when they first broke. Couldn't stand them then, can't stand them now. They might be fantastic, but when Geddy Lee starts to sing I have to change stations immediately. Sounds like a cat in a blender. Punks with lessons.

Earl, I'd never thought about your point, but it sure is accurate. Stretching it a little bit, Styx is a river/place and certainly can be added to your list.
