Matt Colville is the founder/lead designer of MCDM games and a YouTube D&D personality (his "Running the Game" videos are great), who also does Twitch streams doing deep dives on his favorite prog rock bands (like Rush) and has a lot of opinions on thinks like Dune and LotR.

Progressive rock is neither progressive, nor rock.

Rock and roll is that which I point at and say, "That is rock and roll."

I can hear a thousand prog fans telling us to listen to Spock's Beard now.

I don’t understand the reference, but I will assume he is another in a long line of bard lovers.

I got the reference. He's a famous bard broadcasting his regular game on the Interwebs and does voices very well.

and seeing someone start talking about the importance of the Tolkien canon fills me with the same dread as when I hear someone say that I really don’t get why Rush is the bestest band evar.

Strong agree (on both canon being overrated and painful and on Rush being not all that).

Hottest take- Tolkien blows,

Now you're just being <excised to save the moderators trouble>.

As a Canadian, I don't get the Rush thing either, however, I also don't get the hate for Nickelback. On the subject of canon, I feel differently.

C’mon. What has PROFESSOR TOL-KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN ever done for fantasy literature, anyway?

He is the first one who would admit the former, not sure he or I would agree on the latter.

This is how you remind me that Nickelback is what would happen if Rush wrote music that rocked.

Rush is, essentially, the smooth jazzeasy listening Nickelback.
