the 3 bands mentioned have strengths in different genres of rock. all 3 have their + and - .

of the 3 only Rush is a band that have the "lovem or hatem" tag because of Geddy Lee's voice. for some it's a make or break option. in Rush's case they have survived very well in their 40 yr career ,despite the vocals .

as for acdc and vanhalen or vanhagar I like them also very much. I find acdc repetitive redone and overdone copy and recopy tiring at times.

vanhalen had many options and seemed to do okay with overall.
