Knew this would be a classic thread...
I never was a big metal guy & early Metallica was about as hard as it went for me & my taste. While Slayer wasn't my thing, they most certainly had talent & success which should be defended if it's your band!!
One of the movie channels had a documentary the other day of RUSH's last tour...how only 3 guys put out so much sound compared to other bands with 5+ was incredible. This was by far my favorite rock band. Played a variety & sometimes weird rock styles over the decades. Yeah, I can understand if it's not your liking. Hell, that Rolling Stones rag seemed to loathe them for some reason. Still, you cannot state they had no talent.
I appreciate all kinds of music & listen to a whole lot of it as there isn't much else to do living out of a company truck. I'm just REALLY REALLY happy this isn't a Bob defending rap music thread!! I just Don't get that noise pollution...rap is one of those flavors I just detest. Barf.

All time great band. They sold a lot more records than Slayer......it's pop and radio friendly.
Peart and Lombardo are drum gods.

Wasn't Rush around a lot longer than Slayer not to mention more albums released?? They also probably sold more records than they normally would have because other than Tom Sawyer & Spirit of The Radio, you hardly ever heard them over the waves that much.
Rush & Slayer not only had the best two drummers, but a very similar intense core base of fans that goes way beyond being loyal!!
Alex does not get the credit he deserves for his axe picking imo.

Allman & Dickie Betts nailed it down with their axes on this tune. It's a far cry from Slayer sounding, but what a clean sounding riff session here!!

Put me in the Rush column with some Pink Floyd thrown in. I enjoy all kinds of music. Except Rap. Can't go there. And Hic Hop; I'm out. Oh.. and Bieber; what is that about? And anything by the Beatles; yuk. But other than that, I'm quite flexible. But don't make me listen to Gaga, Taylor Swift, Arianna Grande Piano...
