I don't think anyone really said that popular acceptance makes Rush a
better band. For my part, the point I was trying to put forth was
that while I've always liked Rush, I've always liked BOC far, far
better...and therefore, I have a grudge against Rush because they
sustained their popularity while BOC didn't. And I think it's
especially unfortunate since Heaven Forbid came out, since it's
jam-packed with stuff that's better by far than any new Rush I've
heard in the past 10 years or more...
