Lucas Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Even tried to woo a boy I had a crush on in 6th grade. But to no avail, alas, he was a Van Halen fan.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Yes. It hovers around 4 thru 6. I've written papers about it. Immortalized it in art. Even tried to woo a boy I had a crush on in 6th grade. But to no avail, alas, he was a Van Halen fan. I too have written a paper on it actually. Forgot to mention that earlier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I listen to 2112 when I am in a before Permanent Waves mood. I would rate it top five then. If I am in the other mood ,Permanent Waves and so on, I don't think of it much. As for it's significance in Rush history it's probably No 1.Having said this I don't play it much these days.A couple of months ago I was using the second car which only has a cassette player and I gave ATWAS a good thrashing so that's the last time I played it.Overall my score for today is a seven.

Nate2112 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Very unpopular opinion BUT Second worst Rush album. 2112 does nothing for me, especially. I find it very weak and it flows like rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It's Epicrific! Sure top 10, but the catalog is deep so my listening moods change occasionally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very weak and it flows like rocks.yet 2112 is part of your username. Not following some of your logic Nate. Back about 10 years ago, it was very en vogue both here and on old CP to tack on 2112 to your username. Nothing really to do with the song itself or one's like or dislike of it. I think it started as just an easy way to rushify one's username, then it because part of an ongoing joke. A lot of people did it. I think Nate's is a product of the former rather than the latter seeing as how he joined here in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many outside of the Rush clique identify Rush fans by it though. Having said that, the song contains about 10 minutes of the most sublime music they've ever made.

Lucas Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Just listening to this now Not only is it Top 10 Rush, it is Top 10 Anything and Everything 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm sorry to say it's not even close to my top ten.Maybe close to mine but over exposure and length keep it off my list. I enjoy the whole suite but tire of just hearing Temples of Syrinx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most never thought anything about it but a few would say "hey you're a Rush fan" then I'd briefly take a break from jazz and sneak something in from the band. People who identified as Synth Era fans got 10% off from booze at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 No. It's not in my top 50.You're like a Rush fan contrarian! Nothing wrong with that, IMO. There's a lot to like in the later years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) I'm sorry to say it's not even close to my top ten. Definitely top 10. If it isn't, you aren't a Rush fan. Looks like you are no longer allowed to consider yourself a Rush Fan Lorraine. ������ I know. I just saw that. I'm in good company though. :laughing guy: Edited August 31, 2017 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
