Rush was never a terrible band. Unfortunately, Geddy Lee single handily ruined their sound with his awful whiny voice. Lee's voice dragged the band down to obscurity even during their golden era.

A fourth member with a voice that does not suck is all Rush needed.

Some music channel is running the top 100 bands of all time. They just had Rush at #75 right behind the Cure.

You think the Cure should have been higher?

Bon Jovi continues to make good music on a consistent basis despite being from New Jersey.

Bon Jovi is insipid mediocre hair rock. It is rock without balls meant as a vehicle for their pretty boy front man.

You are not supposed to take them seriously ffs. And to mention them with Rush degrades your opinion into meaninglessness.

Rush is a great rock band. Bon Jovi is Donny Osmond with electric guitar.

I never considered Bon Jovi to be a serious rock band.

I classify them as pop rock I suppose.

You know you are allowed to like music that isn't hard rock, right? I like Shania Twain too, country fans cry about how she isn't 'real' country; it is the same thing as Bon Jovi, it is OK to like pop music. It is generally popular for a reason.

Like? Sure.

Put in your list consistently as a top band? No.

And yes, it's Ok to branch out. I like heavy AND metal, punk AND thrash.

I also like some early alternatives. The Jam for instance. Talk about underrated.

What makes a band great? 5 hit songs? The beetles have maybe 15 great songs out of 1000s.. Which is not bad. The ramones have 1 hit song. My favorite band in high school was nirvana, they only had 2 real hits and all from one of their 3 albums..

One hit gets you recognized.. 10+ hits i guess means you get to be a defining band.

Maybe led zeppelin is the least overrated, they have a bunch of great songs ( not sure if any really are hits though) but are pretty much unknown.

The Ramones never had a hit song. The fact that the masses never got it is a point in their favor. It's all great to talk popularity until you remember that Laverne and Shirley and Friends were the top shows of their time.

to wit: Most people are stupid and what they like is stupid.

Thats like saying your cell phone is junk because the masses use it.

There are hits and then there are 15 minutes of fame hits, im referring to real hits.. Not stuff like the macarena.

Led zep is great but the current generation does not know any of their music. The ramones have 1 hit song - its the only reason i know they exist.

I have never heard a rolling stones song, i just know some of the guys in the band look like shit.

That is the dumbest analogy ever. Technology is about utility.

Rock is not.
