Bryan Adams: OK, bit too poppy though
Sonny Rollins: Never really listened
Arcade Fire: Absolutely yes, probably the best band in the world at the moment
Pearl Jam: Definitely, sort of a Led Zeppelin of the 90s
Chick Corea: Very good
Yes: Hmm, I don't particularly like them, but lots of Floyd fans do
Steel Pulse: Never heard of them
Ozzy Osbourne: Ozzy solo no, Black Sabbath yes, I recommend the album 'Paranoid'
Bob Dylan: Yes, yes, yes. Best solo artist ever.
AC/DC: Just a great solid rock n' roll band. Bit cliched.
B.B. King: Nice blues, not my sort of thing, great smile.
Rush: See Yes ...

I've listened to a lot of Rush, mostly in my obsession with prog phase, and even then I hated it. They're still no Dream Theater, but I just cannot get into them at all.

To each their own obviously, but I do not like Rush at all. I don't like Geddy Lee's voice, and I can't say it's because of their songs being overplayed on the radio because I don't listen to terrestrial radio, and even when I did, I hardly heard them. I sought out their music to see if I would like it.....and I didn't.

Problem with most people is they've heard the popular RUSH songs and that's it, and to a degree the popular ones are good (although I do get it that Geddy's voice turns some off, but damn they are awesome musicians above and beyond the vocals), but to most RUSH fans they are not considered their best, but certainly their most mass/radio friendly ones. They are a bit like PF in the sense that you really need to listen to many, many of their songs to appreciate the evolution as well as discover some of the true gems that have never seen the light of day on radios. Some albums I recommend are 2112, Hemispheres (reminds me a bit of Meddle), Moving Pictures (minus Tom Sawyer, it's like Time, simply over played to death), and Test for Echo, then check out Caress of Steel (by far their least popular but The Necromancer is awesome)

Seems like you're describing Pink Floyd.
