The Playlist: Can you tell me why YOU think Neil Peart's lyrics are bad? Don't tell me what other people say about them, I wanna hear why you think they are terrible. And can you tell me who writes better lyrics and why?

And the comment that you, Anonymous, posted at 12:27 p.m. was very funny. It would seem that The Playlist works for Rolling Stone magazine or RRHOF.

There are bigger fish to fry here than the quality of the lyrics. Like, why can't I hear any bass on the Segal/Rudd version?

Seriously, eh?

I'm sorry? Do you work for Rolling Stone magazine or something? Maybe the RRHOF?

Your comment about "loving Rush" is quite hillarious. I would beg to differ.

Look it has been scientifically proven and accepted cultural fact that Rush have bad lyrics. Get over it.

I can’t believe Rush fans are still commenting here. Sometimes people don’t like your favorite band. It’s part of what makes us human. The best revenge is putting on your favorite Rush record, turning off the lights and knowing other people on the Internet totally do not get you. Silently and to yourself.

Rush’s lyrics suck…??!?
Sorry, I must have misread that. I was distracted by my analysis of the complex subtext of the lyrics to Kanye West’s latest single…
Rush’s lyrics are fantastic. I know it’s hard for some people to wrap their heads around lyrics that don’t involve cars, “my baby”, “humps”, kissing a girl or some other nonsense. Perhaps naysayers should wallow in the subtle poetry of David Lee Roth…

Yea…I have a pretty decent sense of humor except any sort of negative comments about RUSH. [sorry…I’ve been that way for 20 years] 🙂

Hey, I liked your article. Keep up the good work and all the best!!

God, the internet has no sense of humor. Yes, Neil Pert is smarter than 100% of all hair metal bands.

That doesn't mean his lyrics are great either. Hey, i love Rush, ok? I just don't love anything blindly and can find the humor in his dorky lyrics.

I love most of Apatow's projects and very much looking forward to this film, so I appreciate your article and glad that you liked the movie.

But, I MUST disagree with your comment that RUSH have the "worst lyrics on the planet." Neil's lyrics over the past few decades are thought-provoking and practically poetic.

I can't tell you the hundreds of times I've gone back and reread Neil's words while listening to RUSH's near unparalleled musicianship. I know I'm biased...but one of the key reasons I've followed this band like a religion for over 20 years is Neil.

While other bands may ramble on about "smokin’ in the boys room" or "livin' on a prayer", Neil's thoughts on the angst that "living in the limelight" brings is on a completely different level.

Anyway, thanks your article, I appreciate it...but felt I needed to defend my hero, Neil Peart.

Thanks.

Ah poor rush fans. I said Poor Neil cause Rush are sweethearts, but c’mon, everyone knows why they rule in some way their lyrics are terrible. That much is self-evident.

>>>Rush may have the worst lyrics on the planet<<<

Right on. The lyrics written by your world-famous, multiplatinum award-winning band are much better.

So why are you saying “poor Neal” when you know he’s responsible for the lyrics you think are bad?

This is a great Apatow family throwback to "Freaks & Geeks" where Segel's character played a drummer who was obsessed with recreating Rush's huge drum kit set up.
