Yes, they can be annoyingly pretentious, but I say NOT CRAP. They say the Brazilians were singing along to "YYZ".

2112 - definitely not crap
Working Man - not crap and not neal peart
Fly by Night(the song) - not crap
All the rest - somewhat crappy but does not overshadow the gems.

Rush/Rush - Moving pictures = fucking awesome.
Signals - now = horrible fuming turds.

They were great at writing long winded overly complex math rock tunes with mindfuckingly great parts and solos. They are terrible at writting pop songs. Geddys voice is annoying and Pearts lyrics are stupid, but Permanent Waves is such a great and ambitious record.

Where do I start... First off, I'm pretty biased 'cause I'm Canadian, but there are WAY WORSE Canadian bands/musicians up here! Can anyone remember Triumph? Not to mention all the other embarrassments... Cory Hart, Loverboy, Brian Adams, Chilliwack, Trooper, April Wine, BTO, Haywire, Anne Murry, Celien Dion, Bare Naked Ladies etc. There are some great bands/musicians up here too though... Niel Young, Martin Tielli, Daniel Lanois, Joni Mitchel, Hot Hot Heat, North of America, Robbie Robertson, Stompin' Tom Connors etc.
Yes, Rush wore robes and sang about elves and slaying dragons. Moving Pictures was the reason that I got into music. I kinda liked the cheesy epics! (check out cygnus x-1) They were original and were definitely not predictable. Their first album blew goats, and they haven't done all that much as of lately, but I can't say that Rush is "crap."

Musically, they are not bad by any means.
Geddy Lee sounds like a witch and everytime I hear " Tom Sawyer" I swear it feels like I'm being turned into a toad.
Therefore they get a CRAP.
I don't like witches.
