Feel the RUSH. Not.

[The Register] Well, the results of our Mother of all Music Polls are in, and they make sobering reading indeed. More than 7,000 of you voted and we can now confirm beyond any doubt that - despite previous reports to the contrary - developers do not play air guitar to Megadeth. No, it’s much, much worse than that. The shocking truth is that the whole of the IT world is apparently obsessed with unpleasant Canadian pomp rock in the shape of Rush.
Every time I hear Rush, it reminds me of a noise that falls somewhere between nails being run down a chalkboard and a cat being dragged around the lawn by a lawnmower. And, while I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this, I have to shout it out loud: I CAN’T STAND RUSH.
Thanks. I feel better now. Please feel free to return to your regularly scheduled blogging.

God, I thought I was the only one who would rather have my ears ripped off by tug-of-war monster trucks than listen to that hideous singer. For a short time at bsquare, one of the developers in an office next to mine would crank up the Rush if he was working late. That signalled the end of the workday for me.

Best. Rock. Drummer. Ever.
Bass player, too, although there’s a bit more competition there.

Come on….that bit that Geddy Lee did with Bob and Doug was classic!
I AM CANADIAN!
