Love em, hate em, it really doesnt matter. On a purely technical aspect of playing instruments, writing lyrics and music, RUSH is above all others.

Peart: The best Drummer ever, even better than Rich. Lyrics are outstanding and intellectual. He is simply an amazing talent.

Lee: One of, if not the best Bass player ever. Great Keyboard ability. I like his voice also, some may not. Great music writer.

Lifeson: A great guitar player. Often under the radar, but he can play with the best of them. Great music writer.

Lets hear it!!!

    Replace the "RU" with "PHI" and you might have something.

    rush is a great band

    but I think you need to listen to some who records

    alex cant touch pete
    geddy cant touch entwistle
    peart, well, he is one of the best drummers and lyricists ever to take the stage, and moon was pretty damn good

    edit: I think zep is also more talented than rush

    Primus has more talent than Rush imo...there are others too. Pantera, Radiohead, Tool, etc.

    More my money The Band, as someone else suggested, is the most-talented and versatile group of musicians ever to grace the same stage together.

    I've heard people say the same thing about Rush before, but I don't see it. I suppose thoes guys are highly talented, but in my mind great talent doesn't always produce great music. Rush may be the ultimate conglomerate of talent ever assembled, who's to say, but their music has never come close to striking any kind of nerve in me at all.

    Saturnal's opinion about Primus^^^ fall into that same category.....Les and the rest may be great musicians but their music just doesn't do it for me
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    The Who and Zep are up there no doubt.

    Radiohead, Primus, Tool. Not even close. I really love Primus and Tool though. Les claypool is one hell of a bass player. Danny Cary is one of the best drummers, but not the best.

    I understand this is just speculation and opinion, but does any one really think radiohead is in the top 10.

    Tecnicaly speaking Rush and Dream Theater are on top. the creative, prog, time changes between songs it's what makes them great.

    Bands members of led zepp,the who they all are great musicians but the type of music the play doesn't allow them to make some kind of things. it's something that progressive rock have over straight forward rock.

    No truer words have been spoken.

    We're talking technical skill folks, not sloppy emotion.

    hard to say
    radiohead is more the sum of its parts-although the lead guitarist and the bassist are incredibly talented

    but probably in the top ten, yes

    :D dragonforce :D

    the band, zeppelin, the who... definitely
    radiohead is just perfect at what theyre doing... i dont think technically speaking they are each individually the best in music

    always a pretty meaningless conversation though... some might say umphreys mcgee has the most musical talent... alot of those jam bands do... they just create pointless generic crap with that talent

    Slipknot... I mean, they're all so good at playing instruments, and making new ones... like banging on kegs! Who else does that? Fucking geniuses....
    If I could, think I would give in.

    I would put each of Rush's band members against their Who counterparts ANY day.
