"The music of Rush is marked by erratic signature changes, unconventional chord structures, heavy use of synthesizers and electronic effects, and, most importantly, lead vocals that sound like an ancient witch is being exorcised out of your body with live wires. In less clinical terms, imagine taking the most annoying parts of science fiction and Libertarianism, isolating them, and then somehow blending them up into a cursed musical slurry. Then, infuse that slurry with a distinctive incel vibe, and presto! You’ve got one of the most powerful contraception options on the market."I respect Rush ('like' is too strong a word perhaps), but, LOL, that just sums them up perfectly. And, yes, their music is totally unerotic, I don't believe a single Rush member would argue with that. I've also never met a woman who has reacted to Geddy's voice with anything but frank bemusement.
Note to self: Most women don't like men to have voices higher than their own. And - this will please Rob to hear - whenever I put on Thin Lizzy, my wive invariably says about Lynott's baritone: "
He's not a great singer, but he sounds real good. No screaming and yelping either."
Wait, there was an exception! My wife's daughter had a worrisome Rush & Dream Theater phase as a teenager. But she valiantly overcame the condition and today as a 30+ year old freely admits: "
I only liked them at the time to be different from what the other girls liked. And I guess it caught attention from the guys." (She's meanwhile married - to a, yes,
Tool fan - and matured to K-pop so all is well, no permanent damage.)
"About 30 seconds into the melodic meandering and feral-cat-being-threatened-by-a-raccoon vocals, a woman will experience a complete and total shut down of her sex drive. At this point, her legs will snap shut with the spring tension of a bear trap, making intercourse all but impossible."
