Lets See Who Really Comes Here

Used to be hardcore, but now demoted down to "Not quite XXX" for various reasons

what reasons could suffice a descent from hardcore status?

[Cinderella Man]

hardcore for me i own almost every rush cd, thats all i listen to, my kids tell me im obsessed

[Your_Lion]

Own them all but the first two...but I've ordered them with my Christmas money

[radost]

Hardcore! I grew up with the Rush music

[missionman]

Hardcore!

[PriestfromSyrinx]

I'd say I'm quite hardcore, bought all 18 studio albums, a few compilations, glasses to looks like Geddy, Presto shirt for Halloween costume, listen to them at least for 30 mins a day, I'm a true maniac!

[TampaRushFan]

R rated. Don't own every album, but I've heard them all many times via friends over the years. I will say Rush is my favorite band. I like a lot of bands and genres, but what keeps me coming back to Rush are the lyrics and their high-grade instrumentals.

 

 

I actually just went out and bought Different Stages - my new favorite. It's like being right there at a show.

[The_Necromancer_77]

R rated. They aren't my favorite band, but I really enjoy their music. I have lots of friends who are fans, and listening to their music is a way that we've bonded and become closer (to the heart? ).

[sgbam42]

Hardcore all the way. I own almost every studio album and some completions and I know virtually everything about them

[SpiritOfRush]

Hardcore all the way. Own all CDs all DVDs and several boots. Even if I hear a not so favorite song, I will listen and not change it.

[jbroad]

i'm inbetween an xxx and r rated fan. i have almost all of their recordings and they are among my favorite bands (rush, steely dan, the beatles, led zep, and the miles davis 1964-1968 quintet are my top 5). i would say that i'm really into about 75% of their material

[Deckiller]

Not quite XXX, unless I'm feeling kinky.

[Bastille Dave]

I'm somewhere between the first and second choices. I am obsessed with the music of the '74-81 years and beyond somewhat. I'm a fan of alot of music so Rush is just one of many; although they are in a class all by themselves. I'm learning to like the post-Power Windows years but it's a slow process, I'm not much of a newer music fan of any band (last 15-20 years). The golden era of rock's ship sailed many years ago.

[Hoovermac]

Hardcore. I tend to perceive Rush references that don't even exist, own every album, and a lot of memorabilia

[Babycat]

Hardcore! Have all the studio albums, compilations & concerts.

[IChoseFreeWill]

I put myself at the Casey Kasem level.

 

I have been a Rush fan for several years now. I do have several of their songs and the Rush application on my iPod Touch. I have used Rush songs as examples in other message boards and websites. I enjoyed their Time Machine concert waaaaaaaay too much. I belt the songs very loud when they come on the radio.

 

But my desert island band is still Queen.

[NobodysHeroine]

Hardcore sixteen-year-old female Rush fan! Seventeen in two months.

 

Obsessed? Me?

 

Yeah, right, like it's a secret. It's not.

 

*Sings along loudly to "Dreamline"*

 

When we are young

Wandering the face of the earth

Wondering what our dreams might be worth

Learning that we're only immortal

for a limited time

 

God, Neil is amazing. They all are. All three of them.

[CMWriter]

Okay, maybe I don't own all their albums because I'm broke, broke, broke... But I've sure as heck heard all of them and there are only a couple I don't know every song by heart. (Music downloading for the win.)

 

I like it all. Some of it I like a teeny bit less (like.. um.. "In the Mood" haha). Like the other things I love, I tend to be obsessive when I like something. I will randomly quote or reference Rush/their songs/their life stories in classes, on essays (I used a Rush quote in one of my AP Exams last year!!), and basically they influence lots of assets of my life. In fact, just today, I played "Territories" and "Manhattan Project" in the background of my presentation on Harry S Truman. :D I might not own a lot of their stuff but it's obvious I get what I can.

 

Besides, pictures of these three guys are beginning to cover my wall -- and my purse (buttons, again, for the win).

You, my friend, are awesome.

[ColdFireYYZ]

2nd option. I own all the studio albums except Feedback, a buch of live albums, I have a few posters, and a couple of shirts. I listen to them almost everyday and they are my all-time favorite. There are a few songs I don't like (Tai Shan, High Water, Necromancer, etc) but the rest I love.

Ah, a kindred spirit! Queen is my third favorite band, after Rush and the Fixx (who I followed very heavily for about three years). I went to Hollywood to see Queen get their Star on the Walk of Fame and saw Queen + Paul Rogers in Buffalo in...must have been 2006? I only wish I'd become a Rush fan in time to find out about their Star...would have tried to be there for theirs!

[ridertoo98]

I took an R rating, liked them for a long time, getting any cd is a call away to the GF,she has them all I think. Are in my top 5 bands.

Another reply comes to this poll

[Nova Carmina]

I think it was Ford Galaxy who called that "necroposting"!

[Derek19]

They've always been my favorite band, and group. I have all of their c.ds, albums, and love their music, and know quite a lot of information about them, but not to the point of being obsessed.
