Segue Myles Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 When Rush plays at a bar or somewhere in public there is sometimes a noticable shift in the mood and atmoshere of the place...there's a quiet discomfort that starts. It happened when Xanadu played recently at a bar. Trust me, it's the "cheese" that we all know and love...and some that are afraid to admit... Um...remember you are speaking an opinion, not a fact. Xanadu isn't cheesy to those who follow this kind of music. Toto is cheese. ABBA is cheese. Foreigner is cheese. Cheddar is cheese. Rush is Rush. When they are cheesy, it stands out because it is uncharacteristic. Xanadu is NOT strictly cheese (but the lyrics are kind of hilarious!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Harry Potter is "cheesy" but don't tell Segue that. It is! J.K. Rowling has the best kind of humour: intelligent and geeky! But it isn't pure cheese, like, say, The Princess Bride or Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When something is cheesy, it's because it's been done so much that it's reached the point of being normal. I wouldn't compare any song in the world to Xanadu, so therefore I would call it the exact opposite of cheesy: authentic/unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Harry Potter is "cheesy" but don't tell Segue that.You still mean the good kind of cheese? Why not? Maybe I'm associating "cheesy" too closely with nerdy. But "cheesy" to me is something that make me cringe or has the potential to. I defintely feel that when I play Rush for some non-fans....something I do less and less over the years. Most people who know me don't even know I'm a fan of the band.

Lorraine Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I'm not afraid to admit anything. The only thing I know is that I like Rush. This is the first time I ever read the word "cheesy" applied to them. The Archies are cheesy. David Cassidy is cheesy. Rush isn't cheesy. And what anyone else thinks about Rush and their music, why should I care? Edited December 16, 2014 by Lorraine 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I find Foreigner and even Styx to be less "cheesy" than Rush overall...yes they have that "cheese" sound (synths, some vocals, some lyrical content) but they're way more accepted by people than Rush is...

I bet you found Closer to the Heart to be "cheesy" when you first heard it ;) Didn't you say that was your first exposure to the band and found it offputting?

I know that you know that cheesy doesn't mean "not accepted by the main stream." Clearly that's not what cheesy means. Whatever weird vibe comes over a bar when Rush is played isn't due to the cheese factor, it's because it's nerdy and weird. Most don't understand it.

I wouldn't compare any song in the world to Xanadu, so therefore I would call it the exact opposite of cheesy: authentic/unique. People who find Rush cheesy are the kind of people who consider Coldplay or Kings Of Leon the high priests of awesome! Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd and their musical companions speak to the hearts of their fans in a way that is personable, comforting, but i sense unique to each listener. If someone finds Rush cheesy and loves them, so be it! I love Rush's cheesy moments. But that tends to be stuff found on Presto-Test For Echo. I wouldn't call any of Rush's early works cheesy, just a little naive. They were, after all, finding their feet! When Toto went prog on Hydra, it was both cheesy and mega embarrasing (sorry Lorraine, that is the album with your song!). And their science fiction themed lyrics are not cheesy. 2112 is incredibly moving, as much as Hemispheres is mind blowing. Sure, on the whole I now prefer Yes' sidelong epics, but Rush's attempts are not rehashed cheeseball pastiches. They are brilliant in and of themselves. Caress Of Steel has I Think I Am Going Bald. Maybe that is cheesy, but it rocks with no shame! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this: Hand over fistPaper around the stoneScissors cut the paperCut the paper to the boneHand over fistPaper around the stoneScissors cut the paperAnd the rock must stand alone Is better "cheese" than: Sunlight dances through the leavesSoft winds stir the sighing treesLying in the warm grassFeel the sun upon your faceElven songs and endless nightsSweet wine and soft relaxing lightsTime will never touch youHere in this enchanted place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Bruce Springsteen is cheesy. :outtahere: Born In The USA definetly. Every album since that one have their moments. Anything before that is exempt (aside from moments on The River). Born To Run can ve mistaken for cheese because Bat Out Of Hell practically took its sound and parodied it. But as an album, it is high art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Foreigner are mega cheesy! Made worse by the fact they take themselves so seriously. I mean, their songs work in rom com romantic scenes. Find me ONE Rush song that could lyrically and melodically fit a prom scene perfectly. Styx are cheese. They took prog and turned it into broadway.
