Also, I've heard of people dedicating their lives to studying Peart's lyrics, which are shallow, empty, and meaningless. They need a freakin' girlfriend. They are the ultimate in prog rock excess and bombast. Plus I hate them.

I think you forgot to mention boring.

After hearing praise for the band from so many different sources, I decided to give them a listen and thus bought their latest album.

Yeah, I agree - boring.

Although I agree for the most part it surely seems according to their sales numbers that we're in the minority. I saw them once, I think it was the Moving Pictures tour. The concert was really good, I just find Geddy's voice grating.
Steve Morse opened, so it was a great night.
