physics23 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Wow. This is shocking. You people don't like "Rivendell"? Someone doesn't like "The Fountain of Lamneth"? "Anagram (For Mongo)"? I can't believe it. Well here's my list: Best I Can Lessons and Tears Countdown Scars You Bet Your Life Half the World and Carve Away the Stone Peaceable Kingdom A lot of songs took a long time to grow on me, and that's especially true of those on Vapor Trails.

physics23 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 QUOTE (gopherman @ Apr 10 2005, 11:31 AM) Okay - some of you are listing Virtuality. I agree, the lyrics are not superb. However, it will go down in history as a good period piece. Therefore, I can't put it on the list. Besides, it is fantastic when played loud - really loud. A Passage to Bangkok (sacriledge! I hear you say) - also better when played really loud - is my nominee for the list. I don't think the guys are really suited for drug lyrics. But that's the thing - they are very suited for drug lyrics. They were, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackStagePass Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Any live Peart solo if I am not in the mood for it The Pass from Presto. I know the band love it but when I hear the bass at the start I press 'Next track'. Secret touch - Get bored with 'The way out is the waaaahay in' bit That's it I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vital signz Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 And to BackStage Pass.....I hate to say it, but The Pass is just an unbelievable song.

iluvgeddy05 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 It's funny because when I first started getting into Rush when I was young, I would skip over songs -- like Double Agent and By-Tor (I know!) but..hey, I was like 10. Now I love them... BUT...I don't think I will EVER like Red Lenses. I've tried. I can't do it. Ever. Some other I tend to skip over -- dont not like them, but need to really want to listen to an album in it's entirety to play them: ok, I admit I'm not playing the first album very much... Rivendell Think I'm Going Bald Different Strings -- like it but need to be in the mood for it. Kid Gloves (not a GUP fan, lol) Superconductor -- used to like this a lot, but not so much anymore Speed of Love Time and Motion Ghost Rider -- ok....I REALLY want to like this song....but for soem reason, I can't. I want to like it because of it's meaning, but it never gets me like it should. Especially live. I know many might disagree, which is fine. Oh...and don't knock Mission! JK...to each his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of a Rider Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I can't say I don't like any of their songs but their are a few that do absolutely nothing for me and they are: Animate, Test For Echo, Rivendell. I like one Little Victory okay but for some reason it doesn't move me much. There are a few I feel so-so about but the majority I just love.

thetrees Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 even though i dont love every Rush Song...it is still unsettling to see some of the songs some people do not like.....but hey its been said before: to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physics23 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Ok, here's the deal with "The Pass": I was never particularly into it until Rush in Rio. I always thought that it was a rather empty song, especially alongside some really great Presto tracks like "Chain Lightning," "Anagram (For Mongo)" and "Red Tide." But the way they performed "The Pass" on RiR gave me a totally new perspective. It was like hearing the song for the first time, understanding it for the first time. I should mention I experienced the same thing with "Resist." That's just the way it is sometimes - the studio version doesn't quite capture the essence of a track, but in concert the full force bursts forth. Anyway, now I really appreciate both "The Pass" and "Resist," as well as a myriad of others. [Edited for effect.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
