you just misstate their arguemnt; its not that playing MUSIC similar to Rush proves you are good; Rush's music stinks. But their musicianship far outranks the Beatles in technical virtuousity. Light years ahead.That just doesn't always add up to good music, such as in Rush's case. Maybe if you were a musician you would understand this very basic concept. And you would understand why you are so clearly wrong on nearly everything you write, and about Ringo being more than an average drummer.
Let me enlighten you; anyone who has played the guitar for a couple years can play everything George laid down on record during the Beatles. But you can have played for 40 years and not be able to play Stevie Ray Vaughns licks. He was a GREAT guitar player, George was not. I listen to George 50 times more than SRV, but I know the difference between what I like and technical virtuosity. You don't know or out of bizarre loyalty don't admit it.
Ringo was an average drummer, the guy in the Moodly Blues a bad one, and Bill Bruford a great one. Get over it. Time to give those Beatles cards away! :-)
