Malkmus’s had us pondering the timbre of Geddy’s speaking voice for years now. So here’s a fresh debate — Rush: More or less metal than Ray Charles? Press play and brace for the uncomfortable realization that we’re probably all much more like those talk show idiots than we’d like to admit.

i don’t think Rush shows up in 21st Century Hip-Hop’s “Devil Horns”, so…case closed.
Robert Smigel > Dan Meth
no, not metal. more metal than ray charles though.
Metal…No. Prog Rock..Yes. It’s like asking is Dream Theater Metal? No…
Less metal than Ray Charles. Then again, Slayer and Mastodon are less metal than Ray Charles too.
I never understood why people considered Rush metal. Dream Theater definitely is though.
