God, I haven't listened to victor in over 10 years but I still remember how that woman on "Start Today" sounds a lot like old Geddy so I picked that one.
And the song where Alex's wife is complaining was pretty funny too.

Got to go with Promise. I remember when i first heard that on the radio- didn't know Alex had an album out. I was like, that sounds kinda like Rush. Then i heard the solo and was like, that sounds exactly like Alex! That's cause it was!

- Interests:I like Rush, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Deep Purple, all of those good band, Aerosmith as well. I Love rush so much, I just wish I could see them a few more times. Geddy is my favorite bassist, he is just so incredible, how fast he goes. I like to play bass, guitar, synthesizers vocals for my band, Unknown. We should go touring in about 10 months (delay), but we need a new drummer. Alex lifeson is a great guitarist, and neil peart is the greatest drummer ever!

It's got to be 'Shut Up Shuttin Up' - I just absolutely love it, especially when a Alex's wife & her friend are moaning & there's Alex going: "shut up... shut up!... SHUT UP!!!" I usually end up with the hysterics

I like this album a lot, and I like that it didn't conform to what you might expect from Alex. Great guitar playing on this too.
I went with Don't Care, cause when I first played the album it certainly got my attention(!) and piqued my curiosity for the rest of the album.

This is such an underrated album! Alex has serious attitude and I love it! It's hard to believe Rush was working on Test For Echo while this fabulous album came out.
It's cliche, but my favorite is Promise.

Promise is a great tune...but Shut Up Shuttin' Up is fantastic.
I always wished that his solo in that song made it onto a Rush album instead. It's f'n great...reminds me of a Satriani-type solo.
