Prog anything isn't the greatest thing ever. Rush is more math than music because they didn't step to the mic and play what felt right or sounded good, they did the time sig math, and while I won't condem any band who doesn't play in 4/4 only, I will say that when your movements have massive switches for the sake of having massive time sig switches, even if it was so you could add new syncopation, I'd still argue that its math over music.

Do you think Keith Richards gave a rats ass about what beat got accented? Does Johnny Cash change things when its every 4? No they don't, know why, cause it sounded good and it accented the lyrics.

Im not saying rush is crap, im not even saying Prog is crap, and im still voting for Peart, but don't ride in on your high and mighty progressive horse and expect us to all be as beddazzeled as you are because you just found out that theres an elitiest group of musicians that think thier king **** because they spent their lives in the basement with a metronome.

If you were in fact addressing this at me, I hope you recall I was on your side.

I've seen Rush live, i'd say they enjoy what they do on stage very much, so do their fans, is there something wrong with that?...If a band has amazing technical skill, that automaticly means they dont care about the music?...C'mon.

Keith Moon. In my opinion Peart is way too over-rated.

Neil Peart for me, but both are great drummers.

I like Rush and I find his drumwork to be very tight and fun to listen to.

Reznorslave · 04-11-2006, 11:42 PM

I have to go with Neil Peart. I think overall he is the most talented of the two!

I agree with the general discussion...Peart is by far technically better.....Moon has his own style...not easy to say who is really the best....
