Rick N. Backer Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 thinking on it. with Rush. honestly i don't think i've ever been as obsessed with them like other bands. but........i think these albums if i think of the term obsessed. Permanent WavesHold your FireHemispheresPresto. yea those four. MickInterested to hear what your thoughts were the first time you played the HYF album in it's entirety?My 2 cents, I loved it on release. At the time it seemed like a natural progression and that the band had finally gound the full sound they'd been looking for. And then the years passed, and now the music has aged to my ears as well as their haircuts and jackets have to my eyes. Did you smoke a lot of marijuana back then? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 PeW, which was their new album when I discovered them at a friend's house who's older brother had the album, probably wore out a needle on our record player. Then MP came out, and you might catch my mother singing Limelight to herself around the house I played it so much. ESL really steered me towards the back catalog. Signals remains my third favorite album from them, probably in part because of where they were and I was at the time. After that, Snakes was the next album I played a ton, because I thought then (and still do) that it was the album that should have come after Signals. CA because it's a great album, and my love affair with the band had been renewed. I can enjoy all their other albums to some degree, some more, some much less, but I wouldn't call any of the others "obsessions." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Girl Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 PeW was my sister's and I's intro to Rush...so that warranted some obsession. Moving Pictures was our first concert, so ditto. Grace Under Pressure, the same. Retro-obsession for 2112...played that non-stop for a while (cue 'the rollerskating story'). Signals didn't gel w/ me as much. By the time Counterparts rolled around though there were more influences to my musical taste, more things happening in my life. So when the new albums came out they didn't provide as hard a hit...also didn't help that they weren't as good in overall quality as the 70s and early 80s albums, and the styles were vastly changing. Though I did love Roll the Bones and Test for Echo for short times, the love wasn't as obsessive as for those early ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 clockwork angels was the album that kickstarted my obsession with rush when i was 15. i listened to it nonstop and i still love it. i think the one i was really into after that was vapor trails because it reminded me of my childhood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Right now kinda obsessed by Counterparts again. This album so rich, exotic & textured, like it swept away all the lighter stuff of previous decade (that were brilliant but light) I love Counterparts, even the lyrics more opulent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Moving Pictures, surely. Snakes and Arrows, likely. But if there's anything definite, it's what got my RushTrain a rollin' - ESL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
