THE SMITHS is the greatest band in the history of the world.

That is a fact. Morrissey's (their lead singer) solo career is the second best band/artist.

In terms of that Alternative Rock genre, I'll throw some names out for you.

Socialburn, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, Dropping Daylight, The Academy Is..., Gatsby's American Dream.

Just a bunch off the top of my head.

Uh oh.

ever hear of Rush? Probably not despite the fact they have been a staple on american rock radio for over 31 years. They are musician's musicians and are an acquired taste, but if you like the complicated musical stuff, give them a try.

And if you like men who sound like women, give it a try. They put EMO kids to shame.

Definitely. Geddy Lee must have some scrambled genetics because he has the frail frame of a woman and could sing soprano 1 notes on the earlier albums.

Still, each of the bands three members has been acclaimed by their peers at being among the best technicians at what they do, and they're all in the same band. Neil peart is unquestionably the best rock drummer alive today, according to most drummers. Plus it helps there are only 3 of them so there is more creative freedom. If you are a normal person and completely hate Rush, it is an understandable matter of taste. But logically, it means you aren't a musician.
