Does everyone here hate Rivendell?

It has a place in my heart. I remember working it out on guitar with my best friend. But, two things. I think it could be shorter. And I think there are people who would beat me up if they caught me listening to it. Where a'ya pointed ears, elf-boy? Let's get 'im!! And (I won't post this link for a third time) I do like that cover version on youtube. The way that woman emotes when she's singing it. Gulp...

Come on Segue... You at least like the prelude, right? Or at least the first three minutes, before the vocals start? Come on, you can't hate it all...

 

Um...I don't hate it at all...this thread is for least favourites, only five Rush songs are unlistenable to my ears (all because they are so bland). Hemispheres is a song I like...but nowhere near enough to put it above the vast majority of Rush' music. I really find it messy thing...like I can enjoy the song but it is the reason I cannot play the album more than about three times a year...

 

...but I can enjoy it. But it is my least favourite epic by far!

 

As i said earlier, my least favourite Rush track of the seventies AND eighties. I really...really love those two decades for Rush, and for me this was their weakest moment.

I like it quite a lot. Beautiful singing

 

I like it a lot too, and I also think Geddy is at his finest singing the song.

 

But it sounded to me like a song most here would hate. Especially since I liked it. :)

Okay, I just listened to The Fountain for God knows why, and you may not like this but my list has changed:

 

10-8 are the same

 

2. The Fountain of Lamneth

1. Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres

 

Yeah…so I'll be hiding from Kenny if you guys need me.

That's just embarrassing haha

 

While Hemispheres barely makes my list, Fountain Of Lamneth is so great I kinda want to fart in your mouth as punishment.

 

(JOKE, PRETENDING TO CARE HAHA!)

You're mean.

 

EDIT: Dangit, I can't figure out the crying emoticon thingy. But you're still mean. :(

Here. I will start WWIII.

 

My least favorite Rush song is Closer To The Heart.

 

Humm my least favorite would be a song that left me so cold that i can't remember the title, it would be on Throw the bones or Worst for Echo...

I think I'll go listen to Test For Echo now.....

 

I tried that today.......nearly vomited.

 

Mick

What album is Marv Albert's Gall Stone on again?...... :huh: :)

 

Breast For Tacos

"What i am suppose to say" to those who put "Spindrift" in their worst Rush's song when it's probably my favourites since Counterparts :wtf: Maybe that's too heavy for some, kind a remind the dark atmosphere of Which Hunt, but with a faster pace.

Why do some people like The Speed Of Love anyway? I'm just wondering what there is to like about it...

 

Who do people hate The Fountain of Lamneth?

 

Why do people love Snakes and Arrows?

 

Why do I love The Speed of Love? Because I am a musical idiot with the worst taste in music which qualifies me for the last spot on the Rush Fan List.

Hardly. Why do I think Lessons is one the best a "coolest" songs they ever did?..... :huh:

 

Because it is! :LOL: :7up: :rush:

It's art. You like what you like and pass on what you dislike. :D

 

One man's "art" is another man's "shit."

Now I understand how someone could refer to "The Speed of Suck" as "art." :boo hiss:

That's really funny. I actually dig Speed of Love. Very spatial. Geddy lurks around like a reporter from "Tiger Beat".
