I think that's pretty fair to be honest. There's maybe, what, two songs on the album that could register as country? The last song has a (fucking awesome) flute solo that sounds like it came straight from Ron Burgundy, that's not exactly country
I think if you're looking at albums, you'll want to start with Moving Pictures. That has some of their bigger hits but it is the album that is considered their best for a reason, it is probably their best in terms of merging the prog of their 70s output with the poppier stuff from the later part of the 80s.
But Rush is a band with a lot of sounds, so I think you'd want to move to A Farewell to Kings for the prog stuff. 2112 is going to be a popular suggestion, and I would certainly suggest you give the full title track a listen, but I think A Farewell to Kings is a better album and still has them in full prog mode, while also featuring some of the additional instrumental ornamentation and more use of synthesizers that would become commonplace in their later work.
For the 80s stuff where they got really heavy into synths, I'd suggest Signals or Grace Under Pressure, both fantastic albums with some great hooks but also still a sense of their prog side that they moved away from quite a bit from Power Windows forward.
And if you're at all interested in their more recent output, you'll probably find few bands with a 19th studio album as good as Clockwork Angels.
I'd also be remiss to not mention their live material. You really can't go wrong with any of their live albums but Exit Stage Left is my personal favorite.
Dude, I don't give a damn whether you like the show or not. But calling something "gentrified Full House", 1) does not make any sense whatsoever and 2) doesn't remotely apply to Ted Lasso.
Metallica has also been releasing outtakes or live versions of the songs along with the cover roll out and the one they released for this song is pretty cool. It is Jason Newsted's original tape of the track:

I can't imagine actually not liking Dave Grohl. Like, yeah, does it get a little old with him sometimes? Sure. But the guy is a pretty relentless source of positivity and I can't understand hating on that.
Also, Foo Fighters are fucking great.
Yeah, I can second this. I was in high school from 06 to 2010, so Slipknot's peak in popularity missed me a bit, but they were definitely still quite popular, especially in comparison to how heavy and fucking weird they were.
The Quake soundtrack is pretty rad. This is the only real "song" on the whole thing. The rest of the tracks are really weird and creepy dark ambient music.
But Jack Antonoff has nothing to do with the sound of these records and it is sexist and insulting to say otherwise. Or at least that's what we were told in that article last week or whatever.
Yeah, nothing about the initial rollout of Solar Power seemed satirical. It almost feels like the lukewarm reception to the single and the album announcement led to the satire angle. It isn't bad, you just don't get the satire!
This comment reminds me of when Rush went on The Colbert Report and Colbert asked them "Have you ever written a song so long that by the end of the song you were taking influence from yourselves earlier in the song?"
