Mr Chimp is exactly right in his rank involving Supertramp.
Tim, you have pulled the prototypical rank from the vaults and demonstrated -- you know that you and I have both listened to Rush in Chicago this weekend -- that the rank can change with the renewed appreciation brought by daily experience.
I would say
Rush, whose spirit of the radio sounded incredible to me on the radio in Tim's car (and who I have played maybe 100 times with my brother)
Bush, because they are apparently likable as individuals
Lush, only because someone has to come last -- I like a chord change in one of their songs
Bush, if the president, would be last on even those lists requiring ranks for the Eagles. In fact I would also say:
a lush, who is always there to be your friend
a rush, which is great but can lead to a panic attack
Bush, see above
The idea for the King Kong movie, at the top of maybe 95% of all lists
King Crimson, because in their late version Bill Brufford was so high on crazy time signatures that Adrian Belew had to play drums on the songs in 4/4
King Diamond, like Lush, because someone has to come last and I can't think of a story associated with them that makes me laugh as much as the thought of Bill Brufford incapable of playing in 4/4
Fake Italian accent, because she has made the career of Father Guido Sarduci and, like a white tablecloth and matching silverware, she can make ordinary language seem more beautiful and special than she really is
Fake Minnesota, because she is, to me, very charming
Fake Boston, because I hear real Boston every day
