(12,132 posts)but you cannot possibly mean they are not talented. That's a statement on a (fairly) quantifiable attribute. They certainly aren't beginners. They aren't hacks. They aren't coarse or clumsy when playing. They have written some beautiful compositions (the beautiful part is my subjective opinion however it's fact that they understand the music theory behind what they do).
My _opinion_ is that they are some of the finest musicians in Rock and Roll. That opinion is based on the _fact_ that these guys are masters at playing their instruments. They clearly have loads of talent.
Your _opinion_ is that you don't like what they do with their talent (And I certainly don't begrudge you that opinion. I didn't like Geddy's voice the first time I heard it either.) but you cannot simply say they are not all that talented and expect no challenge.
