fraroc Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 BATTLE OF THE NERDY LOVE ANTHEMS, LETS GO!!! I'm going to pick Chemistry for this one. I feel like it's an overall better sounding song, despite the fact that I actually really like She Blinded Me With Science for it's 80s cheesiness and ridiculousness :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I pick Chemistry as well. It may not be my favourite Rush tune, but I certainly choose it over Thomas Dolby! I am not a fan of '80s synth pop...not at all. Best of luck to both, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I picked the Thomas Dolby classic because I have liked it since it came out (yes, I am that old), whereas the Rush song to me is ok, but not one of their best. "Science!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Science!" I'll give you a like even though I don't agree. :P I am also that old! Haha...I grew up with '80s music...and hated the lot! I can't explain how it is, then, that I love all of the music Rush made in the '80s, with all the contemporary sounds they explored back then. They are an exception. (Just because they're Rush, that's why). So is some heavy metal that came out then, that I listened to as a teenager. But that's about all... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 fraroc, I gave you a like as well. Just because! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Gonna go for Chemistry. Why? Coz I don't love it, but it is less grating than the also quite OK Thomas Dolby song. I like my synth with a bit more bite...* *hides contradicting evidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Chemistry is the better song. I remember fondly the Thomas Dolby tune, but I do think Chemistry is the more memorable of the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I love Chemistry but Science is a stone cold f'kin classic. Ys I too rememebr when this came out. I was only a kid ahem but yeah. Great song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Dolby in general is one of my fav underrated artists. Small discography but great stuff all around. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianice Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The 2 are not even in the same ballpark!!!!!! ------seems to me it,s CHEMISTRY. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatchMaker97 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Chemistry by far. Science just sounds so cheesy to me. Still like it though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 "Science!" That's the only part of the Dolby song I like. Chemistry all the way! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) By the way, any non-Rush song is not likely to fare too well on a Rush forum when put up against a Rush song. Just saying. Edited August 18, 2015 by Xanadu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think the Thomas Dolby song is much more memorable. I couldn't tell you for the life of me how Chemistry goes, but I can remember pretty much all of SBMWS. Plus that video just sticks in your head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullysue Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 My Rush love aside, I have to pick "She Blinded Me With Science." I had an 18 minute EP of this song, and it was beyond epic. I have no idea what happened to it, but I would literally kill to have it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vital signz Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I have always been a rocker...played in rock bands when I was in my late teens and in my 20's, and I have always loved Chemistry by Rush. But damn I love She Blinded Me With Science. Here is Thomas doing this song at age 54. The song was originally a smash hit when he released it at age 24. By the way Thomas is the musical director for all of the TED conferences, and is a Professor of Arts and Music at Johns Hopkins University...

laughedatbytime Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Chemistry is pretty pedestrian. I go with the one done in Doubly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Dolby. It's fun, whereas Chemistry is one of Rush's blander tunes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
