>character is a basement dwelling loser neckbeard into D&D, video games, metal and rock, swords, typical "nerd shit"
>devoted fan of Rush
Why is Rush always the favorite band for these type of person in Television and Film?
>>
deedle deedle deedle, deedle deedle deedle
>>
They are kinda corny. Geddy Lee looks like a fucking bird and sounds like a woman, I’d be embarrassed to say I listen to music sung by that guy
>>
nah these people all like European fantasy metal. Blind Guardian, Nightwish, that type of thing.
>>
>>216951842
Because they sing about elves and trees and druids.
They are fucking dorks just like Zeppelin and their music is still great.
>>
>>216951904
they did that one time in their first album like 50 fuckin years ago
>>
>>216951927
Yes and that's all it takes to forever be remembered in pop culture as a dork.
If you shit your pants only once in elementary school I'm willing to bet you the people who grew up with you would still reference that in high school.
>>
>>216951842
I can't explain why but those types always gravitate to Prog Rock. Like when I was in school those types instead listened to Dream Theater which is basically Rush but Metal.
>>
Their best song is Working Man

And its not really even close
>>
>>216952052
2112 is amazing but you need to be white and not have a zoomer attention span to listen to it in one go.
>>
>>216951842
I want to like Rush but Neil Peart is overrated as FUCK. Seriously, he's really not that good a drummer.
>>
>>216952070
And who's your go to Joey Jordison lmao?

This is true, that literally happened to me.

did you threaten to sodomize them to give them a leaky butthole to get them to stop? worked for me

For me it's Huey Lewis and the News

For me its The Fall of Troy

YYZ, actually

>>216952237

I like Prog Rock unironically
>>
>>216952516
i do, yeah. i originally wrote 'power metal' but i felt like metalfags will argue.

from symphonic to more thrashy stuff, those guys like metal about warriors and dragons. they just do.
>>
what other dad rock could the audience understand it then?
styx?
depeche mode?
queen?

>>216951927
their first album was before peart joined and wrote all of the sci fi and fantasy songs

It was a different time...

>A bunch of liberals
peart wrote 2112 because of reading ayn rand
>>
Realistically they would have went with Primus, but that would have opened a can of worms.
>>
What do we think about 'Imbred'?
>>
Tool has a shitty fan base but I’ve never seen any movie/show shit on them

haha I loved that bit. Huey Lewis and the News is such a corporate bland band. Only a complete psycho would like them.

Because "art" imitates reality.
>>
>>216952052
all the replies to this post are contenders, but working man is still the correct answer.

They're weird but popular enough that everyone has heard of them. This isn't really a trope anymore though because Neil died and they'll probably never make another album. Yet another cool thing that died shortly after 2012.
>>
>>216952721

another really based song is The Trees

It was only ever white trash that listened to rush. A fine band instrumentally but their lyrics are horrendously overwrought and of course theres the matter of the vocals. To say Geddys voice is an acquired taste is putting it nicely, they’re pretty much fingernails on chalkboard territory, esp for girls & who, if you’ve got a wide range that can go high like robert plant or joe elliot thats fine but those voices still have a hefty masculine timbre. Geddy Lee’s voice is like a squeal. Tough sell.

>>216951904
>They are fucking dorks
Confirmed, instead of getting wasted and fucking groupies they played fantasy baseball pen and paper on the tour bus
>>
>>216951904
blind guardian has three songs about gandalf
two are instrumental

So all three of them were autistic as fuck? Sounds like /ourguys/ to me.

I used to think I liked Prog. And then I realized I just liked King Crimson, and the album Tarkus by ELP. Whenever I explored the rest of the bands like Yes, the other ELP, PF, and Rush and none of it did it for me, so I was convinced I didn't actually like Prog and had given up on the genre.

Then I come across the most random obscure shit like pic related, and Liz Frasier's Sun Signature and I do like Prog again.
Also some Mexicans made a piece entitled A Boa a Qu and it is amazing, and I can't find anything about where it came from.
>>
everytime someone doesnt like rush and you ask what they listen to, everyone in that band will say "rush was our biggest influence"
>>
>>216953827
pen and paper fantasy baseball is as autistic as it gets. Scouring box scores from newspapers, endless pages of stats, manually compiled and translated to fantasy scoring. I played serious fantasy baseball in the internet age and even that was autistic, this is serious sperg territory.

>>216953878
Check out Fugazi by Marillion.

Everybody likes Rush.

I thought these were all wine aunt territory.
Alas, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and Cocteau Twins are my favorite bands, which puts me squarely on the wine aunt porch. I saw an unbelievable amount of leather mommas at the Cleveland show lol

If there's one thing I know about autists is that they generally love baseball so this is some sort of super autism. Probably the kind that the Predators were trying to weaponise.

another good contender. maybe the only one that i would consider putting ahead of working man. as bonecrushing as working man is, closer to the heart is about as close as you can get to a perfect song.

>>216951842
My first introduction to the existence of Rush was from Trailer Park Boys.

listen to "something for nothing", "the trees" and "2112" again, anon
