I saw the Pointer Sisters in Las Vegas back in the early 80's, and they all had dresses on with no panties on. They kicked their legs up, and I thought I was gonna die.

That made me throw up in my mouth. Who do they think they are? Britney Spears? Oh wait, that's not much better...

Rush is more unique than the Police.......hence, the Police are more influential and get more airplay on the radio. You can hear the Police in all sorts of bands.......very few sound like Rush because Rush is so unique.

It's not a matter of which I prefer, but just look at how many Singles the Police had and how far they went on the charts versus Rush who have always had a loving fan base with much less radio play.

Although in recent years they've added a fourth the original line-up was 3.

Got to thinking on the fantasy band:

Jimi Hendrix - Lead Guitar and Vocals

John Paul Jones - Bass and Keyboard

Ginger Baker - Drums - Back up Vocals

An All American line up:

Edgar Winter - Keyboards, Saxophone, Rhythm Guitar, and Vocals

Rick Derringer - Lead and Bass Guitar, and Vocals

Carmine, the madman, Appice - Drums, Back up Vocals

And last line up:

Jeff Beck - Lead Guitar/Rhythm Guitar and Vocals

Stanley Clarke - Bass

Ian Paice - Drums

This comes down I guess to a matter of personal taste. Rush may have been innovative but I never found them to be "musical". I did try because I had friends who were big fans, but as far as sheer musicianship I would still go with Cream as they were innovative in adapting Jazz/Blues standards and placing them in a Rockin' Hard coating. And it was not just that each was among the top players of their chosen instruments but the synergy of the group where the sum of the total is greater than the three individually. It was like their reunion concert a couple of years ago in Madison Square Garden - Jack Bruce summed it up "the magic is still there". When they got together and played there was magic.

If Mark Knopfler had done no other song "Sultans of Swing" would have still lived beyond his lifetime. Very few musicians can even say that once.

Wild. Not bad for a kid who took one last shot with his struggling band and cut one last album, before they took "day jobs", titled for their financial condition: "Dire Straits".

I think you almost have to have played the instrument yourself to "get it", but listen to Knopfler's work on "Sultans" - the intricate finger work and lighting fast Picking that it took to make that solo riff come out is not lightweight guitar play. Knopfler, despite achieving fame with Dire Straits, gets overlooked and I think it is because he makes the fiendishly difficult look effortless.

=============================

For sure dude!

Da Boy Can Play.

Back in 1972, I was looking for a good 12-string acoustic. I found one for $50 in the paper, and went to check it out. A lady answered the door, and invited me in to look at the guitar in the living room. She said, "This is just collecting dust, I don't want it in the house anymore, and my son says he doesn't want to play guitar anymore. I just want to get rid of it."

It played like smooth butter, all 12 strings were crystal clear dreamy, and it hadn't bee played for years. I handed over the $50. On the way out, the lady said, "Oh, and Ricky Nelson gave that guitar to my son when we still lived in California. He used to play it a lot."

I hope you still have it and play it. That is a collectors item and worth considerably more than what you paid for it IF you can prove it was one of Ricky Nelson's Guitars.

I've never played 12 string - I started out on a Monkey Ward's electric that was a hand me down from my dad, and I had his old National Triple Neck Steel till I traded it off to get a Browning Fly Rod. I wish I still had that Steel. That actually was the first instrument I learned, haven't played in years, but it was a Fender Single Neck Steel. The Triple Neck was my Dad's and it had belonged to the Steel Guitarist for the "Royal Hawaiians". My Dad bought it from him when he was down and out and wanted drinkin' money. I do still have an old Collector's Guitar, that needs work, that belonged to my Great Uncle Clarence. It's an early electric built on an acoustic body. Nothing famous about it's history - just a rare instrument.

Well we have two rock stations out here that are worth a darn. 96 plays classic rock and 98 plays all the new stuff mixed with some old. I listen to 98 mostly unless they put on chili peppers or Ironman. can't stand that song.

I must admit the Santa Clause version was pretty funny.

But to dis rush in terms of not being "musical" is just plain silly.

Well, it's still not to my taste. It turned me off fast and I just never bothered with them after that. I have a copy of one of their double albums which I think has been played once, but not all 4 sides.

It's like Eddie Van Halen. I can admire the technical skill with which he plays the instrument, but his playing lacks depth and feeling. So, he's a great guitar technician, but not a Jimi Hendrix or an Eric Clapton.

There is an indefinable something which some musicians have and some don't. There are players who, now, are technically as good or better than Jimi Hendrix, but they don't have his soul. Clapton is the same thing. He's not called "Slowhand" for nothing. Ritchie Blackmoore of Deep Purple is twice as fast, and is a great guitarist, but Clapton still has greater emotional depth in his playing.

When I think of someone I consider a great musician it is not merely based upon technical expertise with the instrument. There are pianists who are every bit as fast as Oscar Peterson, but they aren't his equal because they don't have that inner difference that makes an Oscar Peterson or a Count Basie.

Art and music is to some degree a subjective thing and the interpretation varies from person to person as does personal taste. However, the defining difference between a damn good player and a Great Musician is that ability to transcend the instrument and communicate their soul to the audience. They connect on a level we mere mortals can only admire and stand in awe of.

Either way, the Police were popular for what, 15 years? They've been disbanded for years whereas Rush keeps pushin' on with still albums and songs that sell to killer levels.

Eric, you are really cutting the list of singles short--Walking on the Moon, King of Pain, Spirits in the Material World, Invisible Sun, Wrapped Around Your Finger--for the Police......along with all their awards.

BRIT Awards1982: Best British Group/1985: Outstanding Contribution To Music

Grammy Awards 1980: Best Rock Instrumental Performance for "Reggatta de Blanc"

1981: Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and Best Rock Instrumental Performance for "Behind My Camel"

1983: Song of the Year for Every Breath You Take, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for Every Breath You Take, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for Synchronicity

The Police were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 10 March 2003.

Rush had way more albums.......but much less acclaim for them. Still putting records out and still getting less airplay and acclaim. Like I said before, Rush is a great band and I love them, but they are not as influential as the Police have been and still are. What bands can you state have a distinct Rush influence? I can name at least a dozen with a Police influence off the top of my head and that's what I mean by influential.
