Please, get rid of RUSH
 

I listen to all kinds of music, and many forms of progressive, but I consider RUSH to be the.WORST kind of garbage. They hardly belong in the genre, and are unlistenable.

I'd be eternally greatful if they were removed from the playlist, or played only at 5 am

for real?
 

I'm not sure how to take this one....ok I'll try both ways.

If you are serious, there's too much to argue with you, so I'll pass. Sorry to disappoint you. I only converse with intelligent beings.

If you are not, expose yourself you lunatic!:cool:

And hey, like your avatar....is that your girl? Oh that's right I remember her......

"and all the posts were made equal by hatchet axe and saw"

I can accept that Rush does not appeal to everyone--they are the kind of band that people either seem to like or dislike. I like them myself, and I find a lot of things about their music to be appreciable. It's okay that you don't like them, but don't you think it would be quite selfish to demand that other people be subjected to your own personal tastes? After all, Aural Moon is about everyone!

I mean, if you want to flame a band and get away with it, you should post about Dream Theater instead!

Well, hello to you to, new guy...
 

Oh for crying out loud. Here we go again. Another idiot shows up on his first day at AM, with his first post, and starts griping about his least favorite band. Avian, ban this moron's IP.

I think that you're being just a little bit too harsh; if he really wants to be here then there is truly little that can be done to stop him, so I think that we must deal with him as nicely as possible.

Hi OldSod and welcome to The Moon.

I'd be interested to know what it is you don't like about Rush but more importantly I like to know what music you DO like. There are over 11,000 tracks available on Aural Moon so there should be something here that would tickle your fancy.

Maybe you like Yes or Genesis and there are tons of their tracks here. Perhaps you'd enjoy just taking a flyer and requesting something you've never heard before. In the years I've been listening to Aural Moon I've discovered literally hundreds of new artists that now form a permanent part of my listening pleasure.

Go on, be bold, BE POSITIVE!!!! Start thinking that your cup is half full rather than half empty. Life's more fun that way too.

Perhaps it's Procol Harum considering the choice of avatar. AM can certain use a few more PH fans. ;)

Welcome new guy OldSod!

A little harsh don't ya think Yesspaz?

Humility is a personal attribute that should aspired to by all good Christians.

"There is not a greater measure of civilization than how it cares for the least of it's citizens."

good advice keith! i agree 100%.

any band that's spawned so many imitators,
could be considered as the
"fathers of prog metal" must be doing
something correctly.

didn't think about it seriously
 

I kind of thought he was kidding, but maybe he wasn't. So my response is what Keith and Lemur said.

Re: Well, hello to you to, new guy...
 

I don't like flamers - I was invited to join a discussion group on yahoo, and found it distasteful.

However, I find this post also distasteful.

Kev and Lemur, well said.

Re: Re: Well, hello to you to, new guy...
 

Yeah, it's harsh - on purpose. First off, it's also sarcastic, which again doesn't translate into written form.

And this isn't about humility, but about the other side of the scale - preposterous pride. It's like me going to a movie memorabelia (sp?) convention and demanding that all the Hitchcock stuff be removed because he's a hack. While that may be my opinion (it's not), why would I dare think my diatribe will be successful or make friends? I don't particulary like ELP, but in the five years I've listened to AM, I've never asked that a single song be deleted, much less have had the balls to ask on my first day in my first post. That's just simply preposterous.

Agreed, but -
 

I do like your Hitchcock analogy, the approach is wrong on Sod's part. (I feel the same about most art).

You may want to rethink the sarcasm. there's been three of four instances this week that has shown it's not working.

How about an icon or saying "I'm sarcastic"?

Re: Re: Re: Well, hello to you to, new guy...
 

No Spaz it's not sarcasm it's blatent intolerance.

As Rick has mentioned there have been various episodes recently that you put down to "sarcasm" that don't come over that way at all. Continuing to say that you were meaning to be sarcastic just comes over as "Ooops! I'd better try and get out of this by saying I was being sarcastic". It, frankly, makes you look a bit of a twerp.

Give it up. You obviously can't pull it off.

Stick to the Brain Rock which I'm sure is going to be great and I'm going to leave college early to ensure that I'm home in time to hear it.

Re: Agreed, but -
 

use the :p or ;)

homepage
 

I saw your homepage roger, very nice!

And the word of the day is classic (celebrating love and drinking).

:D

oh, say can you see...
 

thanks, Rick! good ol' Anacreon... :D

I will postulate that every member of Aural Moon has at one artist they dislike or could never get into. I will admit I am not a Rush fan but on the other side, I never really listened to them But it doen't hide the fact that it the honorable member should also of told us that there is some music he does like. We know now he doesn't like Rush and we respect that but he should also repect that there are Rush fans among us.

Re: Please, get rid of RUSH
 

Rush will not be removed from the playlist, or limited in any way. Next issue?

:cool:

when I first read the subject, I thought it said get rid of Bush...

;) :p ;) :p
