Well, I guess he can't be to everyone's taste.

Blender Magazine has prepared a Worst Lyricists list, and Neil Peart has found himself at #2 (coming in just after Sting).
Blender described Canadian rocker Peart's lyrics as "richly awful tapestries of fantasy and science".
Ouch.

D'ya think maybe Blender just isn't in touch with prog-rock at all?

I have no love for "Bytor and the Snow-dog," but Peart should be lauded for writing songs about things other than boy-meets-girl-under-silvery-moon and then inevitably wants her back.

Hey, man, you leave the Snow Dog out of this.

This is just cheap sales/hit boosting tomfoolery, in any case.
