Haha!!! Just like I don't get Dream Theater. Many people say DT is good, but I don't get it. I think Rush is just like that to you. Each member is very talented and their songs are tight. Not many trios can pull great shows like Rush.
I like the lyrics. Try some of my favorites.

There was unrest in the forest,There was trouble with the trees,For the maples wanted sunlightAnd the oaks ignored their pleas.
The trouble with the maples,(And they're quite convinced they're right)They say the oaks are just too loftyAnd they grab up all the light.But the oaks can't help their feelingsIf they like the way they're made.And they wonder why the maplesCan't be happy in their shade.
There was trouble in the forest,And the creatures all had fled,As the maples screamed "Oppression!"And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a unionAnd demanded equal rights."The oaks are just too greedy;We will make them give us light."Now there's no more oak oppression,For they passed a noble law,And the trees are all kept equalBy hatchet, axe, and saw.

My uncle has a country place, that no one knows aboutHe says it used to be a farm, before the motor lawAnd on sundays I elude the eyes and hop the turbine freightTo far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits.
Jump to the groundAs the turbo slows to cross the borderlineRun like the wind,As excitement shivers up and down my spineDown in his barnMy uncle preserved for me, an old machine ---For fifty-odd yearsTo keep it as new has been his dearest dream
I strip away the old debris, that hides a shining carA brilliant red barchetta, from a better, vanished timeI fire up the willing engine, responding with a roarTires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime...
Wind in my hair ---Shifting and drifting ---Mechanical music ---Adrenalin surge ---
Well-weathered leatherHot metal and oilThe scented country airSunlight on chromeThe blur of the landscapeEvery nerve aware
Suddenly, ahead of me, across the mountainsideA gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wideI spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly raceGo screaming through the valley as another joins the chase
Drive like the windStraining the limits of machine and manLaughing out loudWith fear and hope, Ive got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridgeI leave the giants strandedAt the riversideRace back to the farmTo dream with my uncleAt the fireside...
My Rush collection. Worth every penny.
