It was this particular kid, whose enjoyment of Rush confirmed a number of stereotypes about the "classic-rock high school stoner".

Rush is Progressive Rock.

Move with the times man, even prog rock from that era is now "classic".

Erm... Progressive music doesn't become less progressive just because it's old?

[SealyStar]

Classic rock isn't really a genre, it's just an overarching term for pretty much all pre-modern rock music.

Robert Johnson was modern once.

By "modern" I obviously mean relative to current times. Modern changes all the time, as do all terms dependent on it for their definition.

I'm not doubting the progressiveness of prog rock from that era, I'm just saying it's considered classic now. Same with glam metal.

Hey, what's wrong with Rush? D:

Nothing by itself. It was this particular kid, whose enjoyment of Rush confirmed a number of stereotypes about the "classic-rock high school stoner".

So what you're saying is that both of them are outside your Monkeysphere and you've reduced both of them to two-dimensional cardboard figures rather than real people.

(As for the music itself, most things can't be classified with only one name anyways.)

I'm sure there's more to them than I know. I know I'm quick to judge... but I don't know much more about either.

So while I concede that I could depict both in a more-neutral manner, I couldn't really say more-accurate, complex statements on their personalities.

Just sayin', Rush is the greatest.

I second the motion.

Rush is pretty good but the best ever...?  I think they are kinda a case of memetic badassery myself.

If you ever wanted to know what bizarro-world Bay 12 would look like, read those posts while forgetting the musical context.

Beck is way better.

Ayreon's my pick for most progressive awesomeness.

...Now I want to start a Bizzaro Bay 12 American Election Megathread, but it wouldn't be around long enough.

[Leafsnail]

I guess it'd need to be a bizarro-world reaction to election thread then?

[PyroDesu]

Ayreon's my pick for most progressive awesomeness.

Indeed.

[FearfulJesuit]

Time for some hypothetical guessing: is there any chance Hurricane Sandy could act as an October/November Surprise?

[Kilroy the Grand]

Ayreon's my pick for most progressive awesomeness.

Indeed.

No love for Luca Turilli?
