They have an incredible body of work spanning 40+ years.
They have released 24 gold records and 14 platinum records (including 3 multi-platinum), placing them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band.
Not everyone has to love their music but christ sakes how do you not at least acknowlege the sheer scope of the talent if not the achievement?

Rush is the thinking mans rock and therefore cuts out of most of the potential audience immediately. They have never played "dumbed down" rock just to sell records but have maintained high standards preferring quality over quantity.
Their contribution to music is clear by the longevity and body for work they have.
