I guess anyone who thinks that Loverboy and Journey are even
remotely listenable (badly in need of musical de-programming,
MTV did a job on thee, now thou art a lobotomy), and Rush to
be awesome (or some such adjective) would have nothing good to
say about real composers/musicians like the Who.  Oh, well...

I think everyone's in agreement about the Stolling Rones.  But
realize that their media value is as entertainment, not music.
(though this was not always true)  Today, the Rones serve as
entertainers, like Rick Springfield, and Boy George, and
Loverboy (shirts open, leather pants on, hut!), and Journey
(but they're so serious!!!!!), and Rush (no, I take it back,
Rush are surely not entertainers, they're not even entertaining,
they're artists, I guess some artists are better than others...)

Just one man's opinion.
