Indeed. Some serious multi-tasking going on on the stage while not sacrificing one ounce of the incredible musicianship.
Amazing Geddy Lee playing incredible bass lines whilst singing and using his feet to play synths live.

Although I suspect you're referring to the German Casio band

And Cream would blow Rush out of the water and then The Aristocrats would blow Cream out of the water.
So what? Is this a competition Stanley? cos you’ve clearly made it into one, and lost yet again.
🤣

Nah.

Lifeson's a far more inventive guitarist than Clapton's stock blues noodlings and gets bonus points for not being a knobhead like Clapton is, and Peart is in a completely different league to Baker and gets bonus points for also not being a massive prick. Lee and Bruce? Probably a tie.

Cream were an early influence on Rush, but Rush outclassed Cream in the long run.

The Aristocrats don't count as the ultimate anything as (like Dream Theater) for all their technical proficiency they've yet to play a note of music that's worth a shit.

I do love a bit of Rush, especially Fly By Night, Limelight & the synth behemoth that is Subdivisions.

But not consistent enough for me, with the Police and especially The Jam providing so many more memorable songs.

Am I allowed to offer XTC after Terry Chambers left?
