Rush fans are just messed up and defensive because they know, deep down, that their favorite band sucks monkey butt. That must be a cross to bear.
It's hard for me to connect the Sting of 1982 or so to the Sting we're stuck with today. I mean, they don't even LOOK alike. (It's not so much that Sting has aged badly, he's just aged into a guy who doesn't look anything like the Sting who was cool when I was growing up.) It's not even that today's Sting aggressively sucks... He's just sort of there. He's aggressively mediocre.
Out of respect, I will refrain from uncorking another TMBG rant. I've always got one ready to go!

Was going to post a list myself, but I'm actually having a difficult time finding a band whose entire catalog I'm pretty familiar with. The first two I tried I came up a few albums short... will keep looking. Fun idea!

Ursula: One of these days you should try connecting your TMBG rant to your thoughts on XKCD. I suspect they flow from the same well.

If you mean they flow from the well of disliking things that are tremendously overrated by my fellow nerds, well...

Columbina:
Apparently some people on YouTube are still pissed, lo these many years later, that "Behind My Camel" beat out Rush's "YYZ" for that Grammy.
You be the judge. Me, I just relistened to both and I stand by my opinion. The Police track is evocative; the Rush track is the worst kind of progrock pseudojazz diddling.
