Is Rush a guilty pleasure? 

Rolling Stone inexplicably ranked Rush the #1 "guilty pleasure" band, beating out the likes of Poison (who some would say are the prototype guilty pleasure) and Kelly Clarkson. I always thought Rush was comprised of fairly accomplished musicians, something I can't say for every band on that list. Perhaps Rolling Stone let one of the interns compile the list without consulting some of the old heads on staff?

Anyway, those ready to sink their teeth further into the guilty pleasures that Rush can deliver will want to check out Grammy-award winning Producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver) discussing the making of the new Rush record Snakes + Arrows. And, for the truly indulgent tour dates are on their website.

Comments:
I'd actually agree with this one, simply for the fact that no one really wants to admit how much they actually love the song, "Tom Sawyer." Arguably -- the best song every written. :)
 
Not the best song ever written, but if you want to hear this pretty good song trashed check out

Bad Plus are just bad-- Schultz would probably like it though.
