George Harrison - All Things Must Pass (John and Paul held him back and he let loose with this truly epic album. Too bad, the rest of his solo career seems apathetic after The Beatles and All Things Must Pass. How could it not?) John Lennon - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (Simple and raw and emotional. Punk before Punk. Grunge before Grunge) Neil Young - Tonight's the Night (The depths of regret. The depths of guilt.) Yes - Close to the Edge (Bombastic Prog perfected. What to do next? Repeat and be more bombastic.) The Clash - London Calling (I think it's the greatest Rock and Roll album of all-time. Varied and CONFIDENT.) Pink Floyd - The Wall (I love every other Pink Floyd album of the 70's better but The Wall was simply too huge.) Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life (His peers were bowing on bended knees.) King Crimson - Red (Mr. Fripp thought the world was ending. Listen to the end of "Starless".) Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run (Spector meets Dylan. 'Nuff said.) Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti (Epic odds and ends. A patchwork of big bold brilliance.) Honorable mention: Any 70's Queen album.

Saw ARGO last week. Loved it...

They're first north American show was in Edmonton! my town! so cool, I had no idea! :)

I listened to side one of Lizard today. Damn, that is some of the most complex prog ever, and side two is even more complex - absolutely brilliant stuff.

It'll be whatever song is last on their set list of whatever tour they're on. I don't believe Rush will ever plan to have a "final show" They'll just keep going it until they can't.

I'm letting potential thread viewers know that this is an educational thread.

All kidding aside, this is one of the best and most complete Yes documentaries I've ever seen.

Bazinga!

Looks like you need some EDUcation on the EDU tag. :P

Okay, I just can't my big mouth shut on this one... As a multi-instrumentalist, I'd give the nod to Jonesy, but not by much. The guy can play anything. But, over-all, Geddy kills everyone. Remember, back in the 70s, long before sequencing and any "cheating" was part of the live gig, Geddy used to play bass (and very complex bass, in fact), keyboards, Taurus pedals, and he'd sing LEAD VOCAL too. And, he did this ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I remember seeing the AFT Kings tour in '77 and asking my friend, "How in the hell does he do all that at the same time without going mental?" And, he was only 24 then... Oh, I forgot to mention that played a fair amount of guitar then too, by way of the double-neck Rickenbacker bass/guitar. I think Geddy could own JPJ on just bass playing alone, but when you factor in all of the things he did AT THE SAME TIME, it'd be hard not to vote for the "skinny kid from Willowdale with the high voice."

Another np apologist, lol..yawn! Let us be realistic here- He went into it for recognition/praise in the first place. Eventually decided he only wants it on HIS terms. Lmao, never seen such blazing hypocrisy coming from someone considered to be a stratospheric thinker. The guy is psychologically mired-down by his self-induced internal conflicts. He won't do interviews unless he can control the topic matter. Ever heard of Neil doing an impromptu, live interview? Not a chance! He's terrified of being called out and challenged on his written philosophies (not because of another sensitive matter, as he would like you to believe). He can only afford to frolick in the daisy fields on interview as long as its tailored with iron fist. As far as Alex goes, u wouldn't physically intervene if your son was being manhandled?

I am neither attractive nor mythical, but I am female and no one has to drag me to Rush gigs, that's for sure!
