Rush vs. B+C

[Joseph Brooks]

And what is a credible critic? One that you happen to agree with? I hate
critics.. We're all critics. Any time you post your opinions about music in
a public place you are as credible of a critic as any asshole that gets paid
for it. Oooohh, I hate professional critics even more than I hate Boston and
lawyers... Who gives a damn what they think? I either like something or I
don't and I don't need some dweeb to point the way.

                Critiqueing GL's voice is far from passe.  I doubt even the
critics
                that you claim are now praising Rush [I'd like to see that
in
                writing!] are doing so on the basis of Geddy's voice.  Most
likely
                they are begrudgingly acknowledging their instrumental
expertise [I
                never said they couldn't play their instruments, only that
they can't
                write decent lyrincs or provide decent vocals] and
overlooking the
                vocals.  I cannot envision one credible critic who would say
anything
                flattering about the horrible crin crin...
