    We can do anything if we do it together.
    I'd say "almost any song by Chicago", but does anyone even consider them rock?

    Chicago is a jazz-fusion group that went hard MOR after they hired David Foster in the early 1980s.

    Their first album is great.

    They really fall off after that, though...

    He specifically hates Peter Cetera's voice, and the mushy love songs they did in the 1980s, more-or-less in that order; he hasn't said much about the early days of the group.

    I think he said they were good in the early days.

    Every latter day Chicago song sounds identical to my ears.

    My mother is an enormous fan, so I've had plenty of time to get acquainted.

    ^^ He did. I think that's half the problem.

    But they always had seeds of serious cheese in their sound.

    david foster wallace was in a band?

    Aside: I think you can be a very un-rock rock band from the opposite end of the soft/hard spectrum. I mean, technically Khanate's "Every God Damned Thing", Bodychoke's "How Much Can You Take?" and Venowl's... entire discography are rock music, but only in the most tenuous way.

    I was gonna ask if Venowl is that band whose lead singer is a bird, but that's Hatebeak.

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Physical Graffiti and Dark Side of the Moon are killer albums, but they do not make me cry

    also, there are better candidates for Rush songs that are the least rock and roll

    Venowl are this black metal outfit whose work is so abstract and punishing that it verges on freeform noise.

    Khanate are a very minimalistic doom metal group, with that track being a tribute to dub and out-there jazz. It's thirty minutes of open space and tension.

    Bodychoke are, well, generally more of a post-hardcore band, with some shoegaze elements and cello playing, like Helmet meets Leonard Cohen, but they were formed by the two guys from a notorious power electronics outfit (Sutcliffe Jügend—think Whitehouse but better and worse at the same time) and it really shows on that track.

    I'd say there first two album were great and all the albums up to Chicago VII were at least good (with the except of the Carnegie Hall live album)

    The Carnegie Hall live album sounds like it's a real mess, and not really in a good way.
