Toss the Beatles.

Toss Lennon twice.

If I never heard a Beatle's song again it would be just fine. Unfortunately my wife is a big fan of them.

Rush, I don't any idea who they are/were or any of their music.


Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

Easy for me, the Beatles.

1. Floyd
2. Zep
3. Rush
4. Beatles

Toss the colonials and make it a limey sweep. Only one dispensable band on that list.

Most likely Pink Floyd, although The Beatles are a close runner up.

Seems like one has been tossed already. If you start tossing any of them now, where would we get background music for the lousy commercials on TV?

Led Zeppelin. Grew up loving their music. But with all of the tales of Jimmy Page's plagiaristic songwriting habits that have come out over recent decades it's now hard for me to consider them the innovative music icons that they are often presumed to be, despite their otherwise high level of musicianship in the rock era.

The Beatles would be next up mostly due to later career sideshow antics (Lennon) and Pink Floyd would be the last to go.

Rush. AKA Songs to be an Incel to. AKA the theme to all Sausage Fests.

I'm an Engineer. And Engineers tend to like Rush. And Rush is the most effective female repellant ever created.

You do. If you queued up a Rush playlist on YouTube, it wouldn't take you long to go "oh, these fuckin' guys" and turn it off. It's indulgent "I majored in music theory" prog rock crap slavered over almost entirely by late Boomer and Gen X guitarists and drummers. For those of you who play, then you know what I mean when I say liking Rush as a player is the equivalent of being a fan of circle jerk porn.
