  1. Leonard Cohen? Really? Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five? This sounds more like a marketing flyer than a tribute to rock and roll. No argument with Metallica, but certainly RUSH more than paved the way for those guys.
    Run DMC? Come on, fellas -- this is out and out discrimination and ignoring the fact that RUSH has had many platinum albums. If Notorious BIG gets in before Alex, Geddy and Neil, it's gonna make the PO'd dragon in the RUSH concert films look like a kitty cat!
