It has come to my attention that liking the rock band “Rush” might be divided along gender lines - women often have little or no interest in this band, and men think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
So, a simple poll:
Do you like the band “Rush?”
Are you a man or a woman?
I’ll start - woman, don’t care for 'em.
Love 'em and I’m female.
I like them and I’m male.
One of my lesbian friends loves, loves, loves them.
that didn’t take long.
oh and BTW, male liked in my teens and early twenties, kinda meh since
Male, love them.
Everybody else I know personally who loves them (as opposed to merely tolerating them) is male as well, and also a musician (as I am).
I think you’re going to see a pattern here.
Though a poll, threads about music most likely should be in Cafe Society.
Moved from IMHO to CS.
Male. I like a lot of their work, though not all.
Male. Not interested in them.
Female
Meh
Male, love them.
Male, love 'em (any prospective new albums?)(btw: yyz is on the GuitarHero 2 list)
Male, and I actively dislike Rush. The most hardcore Rush fan I’ve met was female. She had a Rush tattoo.
Male. I listened to a few songs in my youth, but they kind of bother me now.
It’s not really so much a Rush thing; more a Progressive Rock thing. Chicks just don’t usually dig prog rock.
I have some old Genesis concert CD’s. When you hear the crowd cheer it’s all well down in the tenor and bass ranges. I’m kinda a prog rock fan, kinda, but Rush doesn’t trip my trigger so much. They’re OK sometimes… talented and all that.
In broad terms, if you can’t dance to it - will find less favor with the ladies…
2112 was popular in the day, but not really danceable - (Caress of Steel’s The Necromancer even less so…)
What, is there an anti-fan club, or do you go to protests? 
Word. Not a fan, though I can appreciate the respective talents of Messrs. Lee, Lifeson, and Peart. When I think “Rush fan,” I think of socially-awkward computer programmers.
I believe my user name says it all.
Male
They don’t do anything for me. I almost saw them once–but I was really only there to see to see the supporting act, UFO. I left before Rush hit the stage.
Okay, I swear I posted in this thread and saw the post appear, but now it’s gone. I wrote:
Male. I like them okay–not one of my favorites, but I do own seven of their CDs. My ex-wife was more into them than I was.
