  1. 1. Do you consider Moving Pictures to be a perfect album, a masterpiece?



Recommended Posts

Listening to it now for the first time in a few months.

 

I fell in love with it back in '81 when I was 9. It wasn't the first Rush album I had heard but it was the one that truly started my addiction.

 

My favorite album of all time, and the most important one.

 

Masterpiece.

 

Perfection.

 

I will never forget back in 1980. I was 12 years young! My best friends, two twins Doug and Derek and I went to Rainbow Records to go cassette and vinyl shopping! They were two years older than me so I asked them which album rocks that I have never heard of before!

They took me to the Rush cassette section and pulled out "Permanent Waves." I took one look at the cover and said to them. "Guys, I can tell by this boring black and white cover that this album certainly won't ROCK! Doug told me that I would be making a big mistake not to buy this cassette.

Like a fuckking fool I passed.

 

Funny, that was same year I saw my first concert with them. The Who with The Clash. EPIC.

 

Anyway then of course when "Moving Pictures" came out I instantly fell in love and also became obsessed and an addict.

 

So here we are JB.

 

RUSH FOREVER!

 

Yup.

As a 10 year old 5th grader and more than well-versed in Rushism by then, I went to my first gig with 3 of my older Blaze bros. That was for the Signals tour.

 

MTV has been ripped for the last few decades (and rightly so!) for producing and airing garbage. But in those first few years of MTV's existence, they really did play a lot of Rush. Without a doubt, you could catch something off Moving Pictures or Signals every hour or two back then. It definitely had a big influence on me and thousands (if not millions) of fans and soon-to-be fans. :hail:

 

I have a brand new song I am going to write tonight and then pitch it to them.

 

The title of my new song is called.

 

 

"Internet Killed The Video Star"

 

It's be done. 3rd track.

OMG JB!

 

OF COURSE!

 

It's so hard to be original anymore in this reality! UGH!

 

How can one find something different and original?

It's not about making money.

It's not about finding fame or success.

It's just about being unique in this cesspool of mediocrity.

 

How JB?????

 

I try to be different, yet I am always too late.

I see 3 who probably think Moving Pictures is the worst album they've ever heard. :P

Joking but not joking :unsure:

Moving Pictures is to Rush's discography as Wimbledon is to the men's pro tennis tour

Yes it is a masterpiece but i am a bit over Tom Sawyer these days.Funny i just seem to skip over opening tracks like Spirit,Farewell to Kings,Subdivisions,Distant Early Warning,Big Money,Force Ten,just heard them too much and some of them are the weaker tracks on the album.I find myself listening to the second side more often if i play it on vinyl.For years i didn't like Alex's guitar tone on the album and i thought the guitar solo on TS was terrible but he followed it up with one of his best on Red Barchetta. But apart from all these trifling little quibbles it is a classic and i am wearing my MP t-shirt today and i will lay my copy of HYF to rest

 

Does Red Barchetta really have a very memorable and remarkable guitar solo by Lifeson?
