:codger: weird sense of humor here too.... At least it required a little thought, unlike most of that Grinder stuff. Drawing a finger across the keyboard requires a lot of thought to me... My two neurons scream in pain.

Not really. If he ever decides to meet and greet fans, it'll probably because he's wearing a suicide vest and he just can't take any more of our crap.

http://www.amazon.co...Code&nodeID This review is from: Kleenex Facial Tissue, White (Pack of 36) (Health and Beauty) I want to start this off by thanking Kleenex for selling these in 36-packs. I've put it on subscription, and if they want to start selling a 72-pack, sign me up. I have three reasons for needing this much Kleenex, and their names are Liam, Samuel and Hank. This is how it goes in this house. First the Kleenex disappears. Then the toilet paper. Then they go for fabrics. And you don't want it to get there, unless you're ready to invest in a five gallon drum of Fabreeze. This used to be a good Christian home. But it's not about moral judgment anymore. I'm way beyond that. I'm in survival mode. If I don't supply absorbent paper products, I'm going to find my dish towels hidden in the basement, stiff as aluminum. The other day, I almost cut my hand on a sock. I am sorry to speak so frankly, but with three teenage boys, a woman has got to be practical. The funny part is, they think they're being sneaky, with their 45 minute showers and sudden need for "privacy", as if I'm going to walk in on them journaling. They slink around the house like unfixed cats, while I try to announce my location at all times. No one needs to ask me to knock anymore. I knock on the walls. I practically wear a cow bell. I'm not looking to catch anyone by surprise, believe me. I'm just trying to get through this. The other day my husband was watching me unload the groceries, and he asks me, all sweetness and light, "Honey, what're you doing with all that Kleenex?" I about knocked him off his chair.

:codger: weird sense of humor here too.... At least it required a little thought, unlike most of that Grinder stuff. I agree. They are literally devoid of original thought and humor. This article is the magna carta of Rush fan fiction

I'm not giving anyone a f**ckin R!

Lessons is a favorite of mine. I couldn't even contemplate someone not liking the song until I came to TRF.

They need to play songs that we don't hear all the time. As far as I'm concerned they could drop Tom Sawyer, Limelight, 2112, and The Spirit of Radio for good. I like to hear some stuff from the vaults. I would think they'd throw something from Vapor Trails in the next tour since it was just remastered. Let's hear some Lakeside Park, In The End, Ghost of a Chance, Half The World, Chemistry, Entre Nous....etc. Not the same old stuff they always seem to do.

Already anticipating it being ATOY along with Anathema's Distant Satellites.

"I almost cut my hand on a sock." Hilarious.

Awooga! :drool: *THUD!*

I've been to 15 shows, but 8 were CT so I will have a shortened list. (and yes, their shows have had huge impact on me.) Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival My first time in an audience full of hippies, and it was so awesome. So the atmosphere alone was something magical. I saw some remarkable acts that day and thoroughly enjoyed myself. :) Doyle Bramhall II was actually the one whose performance hit me like a ton of bricks. I'd never heard of him before then, but I was an instant fan. Robert Cray was godlike, as usual. BB King too! Fantastic show. I only wish I coulda stayed for the entire day. *grumble grumble* Alice Cooper It's weird, I always knew I'd see Alice love someday. Overall I had a shitty day that day, which is saying something if even a KICKASS Alice Cooper show couldn't save it! lol My dad's friend took me, dad and my brother as a christmas present. The show started with 2 Alices fighting onstage to the "death", and soon after he stabbed a baby doll with a sword. Any concert that starts that way HAS to be grand. And it was. Styx Styx gets a lot of hate, but I love 'em! My grandma picked me up from high school one day and said "don't make plans this Friday- you're seeing Styx with me." She took myself and my brother! The show was over 2 hours long and just blew me away. Rocked my face OFF.

In the morning, I told my son that there was no school and we were going skiing. :fury:

Just have to reply and say I wish I could give this infinite Likes. :LMAO:

My theory is that Alex didn't adopt the effeminate speech pattern until after they started throwing down the lines. This mannerism went hand-in-hand during that period.

didn't read OP because I already knew everything I saw on the internet today would be bullshit when I woke up today

IDK, I'm running low on ideas for stupid s**t to say. Hard to believe, I know.

I'm so bored I clicked anyway.

:codger: weird sense of humor here too....

I'd like to learn how to fly one of these. :D

Started the process of turning the play room into my older son's very own bedroom. I got the walls painted! My too-wise-for-his-age four-year-old sat there grilling me about what I was doing though. "Why are you painting the walls? They're already painted." I want to change the color. "But you're painting the walls blue. They're already blue." I want a different color of blue. *shakes head in disbelief* Now, just have to put up the new curtains, put together the new bed I found for him, hang the super mega cool artwork I found (poster-size replicas of old Marvel comic book covers), paint the dresser, paint the end tables and put in the rest of the furniture. Phew. But, I'm on my way.

Thought this was funny. I guess I have a weird sense of humor compared to the rest of the posters here.

Now there's something you don't see every day: a radio controlled flying d***... :o

Can they get it up in the freezing Norwegian winters or does it shrink?

The Penis has landed. The Penis has landed....

I think the reason Boeing hasn't designed a plane like this one is because it would be dangerous to keep it up longer than four hours.

QUOTE (Silas Lang @ Aug 11 2012, 11:47 PM) 1/1a. Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures - the twin peaks in the Rush canon and the point at which Rush gained enough confidence to move beyond their early influences while absorbing new ones and meld them all into a sound uniquely their own, in the process creating two flawless masterpieces 3. 2112 - Rush throws down the gauntlet and makes their stand in the ultimate philosophical and emotional statement of purpose. The first side on its own is so powerful it's pretty much inconsequential what side 2 (which ain't too shabby in its own right) consists of. 4. Grace Under Pressure - one of their most powerful and passionate efforts that perfectly reflects the dark and uncertain times in which it was made. The first sense of a musical/lyrical maturity following the band's 'adolescent' years. Icy stabbing synth lines, slashing metallic guitar chords along with some of Peart's finest lyrics combine to create a cold, mechanical feel that's purely awesome. 5. Caress of Steel - an atmospheric journey into dark, forbidding musical lands resulting in many moments of incredible power, majesty and beauty. A great adventure indeed! 6. Rush - people hearing this on Cleveland radio in '74 thought it was LED ZEPPELIN for fukks sake and there's a reason for that: it's great rock & roll, period 7. A Farewell To Kings - the first three tracks are among their very best, giving it the slightest edge over... 8. Hemispheres - where they push themselves to the limit in terms of complexity, vocals and musicianship. Geddy has said that around this time they were out to prove that they could play and they did that here without any doubt. 9. Power Windows - the ultimate blending of guitar and keyboards for Rush, as Geddy said. What truly shines hear though is the songwriting and lyrics with the first five tracks being particularly top-notch. 10. Clockwork Angels - every song on here is excellent and extremely well written and they're playing with as much fire as ever...astounding and pretty much unprecedented really for a band's 19th album. Listen to the music that's there without constantly trying to compare it to prior eras and you could be rewarded. There's enough diversity and depth that any Rush fan should be able to connect with some of it. I'm not sure about declaring it a masterpiece quite yet but it's about as close as you can get (perhaps in the fullness of time). 11. Vapor Trails - hardly an embarrassment...far from it actually. Rush returns with an album full of passion, energy and tremendous spirit with nearly every song a gem...excellent stuff. 12. Fly By Night - it's ridiculous that an album this great is so far down the list but there you are. Side one kicks a ton of ass but isn't quite as monumental as say, 2112. Side two is similar and certainly comparable to 2112's. 13. Counterparts - several great real rockers on here (their best in a while) with an underrated closer. still this far down an album I would call great overall. 14. Test For Echo - pretty much the equal to Counterparts in my mind, even slightly more musically interesting and adventurous at times 15. Snakes & Arrows - maybe not as diverse and varied as other albums but still a lot of strong material 16. Signals - Rush refuses to become complacent or coast on their breakthrough success. A brave effort and a necessary step for them at the time but for me their weakest up to that point. Mostly good though with a few great songs. 17. Hold Your Fire - I agree with Neil here in that they were going a bit too far with the keyboards. Their heavy rock edge, while still present at times, was largely in absence. Still half of it is really great. 18/19. Presto/Roll The Bones - Their first attempts to correct the HYF issue and get back to a heavier guitar/bass/drums oriented sound didn't quite get there since the production team in place couldn't get the job done. They're not terrible albums just rather bland, unexciting and unspectatcular. These are some really good rationales for your rankings. I really like the one for Fly By Night. That is how I always feel when trying to rank the albums "Absurd! How can AlbumX get such a low ranking?!?"

I am going to rank in terms of sonic pairs 1. Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves. What ever other album I might be digging at the moment, there is always the acknowledgment that this pair is clearly the pinacle of Rush in terms of songwriting, muscisionship, popularity, uniqueness, production quality etc etc. 2. 2112, Caress of Steel The hard rock and hard prog rock duo 3. A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres Often, this pair switches places with 2112 and COS 4. Clockwork Angels, Vapor Trails, Rush, Fly by Night Rush and VT 4 the haters: 5. Powerwindows, Hold Your Fire, Presto This trio is given such a high spot because of their importance to other Rush fans and not really for personal reasons. 6. Signals, GUP 6. Counterparts, Test for Echo 7. RTB

1. Moving Pictures - Simply the BEST. Every song never fails to blow my mind. Red Barchetta is the BEST Rush song EVER. The worst song (Vital Signs imo) destroys the best song on a lot of Rush albums. 2. 2112 - It's probably my favorite story an album has every told behind Tommy and it has the best vocals of any Rush album EVER. 3. Hemispheres - You really can't go wrong with the instrumentals (BEST instrumentals of any Rush album). It also has the best RUSH instrumental EVER (La Villa Strangiato) and the lyrics might be the most inteligent of any Rush album. 4. Permanent Waves - This album never impressed me as much as the average Rush fan because the transitional period from the 70s into the 80s for Rush just didn't sound as brilliant. I could never really get into PeW, but Freewill and Spirit of Radio alone elevate this album to a high class. 5. Caress of Steel - Undoubtebly the MOST UNDERRATED album in music history. Fountain of Lamneth and Necromancer are decent, but I'm blown away by the other 3 (especially I Think I'm Going Bald) . 6. A Farewell to Kings - Definitely the time that Rush was in their prime. The title track, Xanadu, and Closer to the Heart are some of Rush's best sounding songs from the 70s. 7. Fly by Night - I really love this album. Its as I call it "in your face" sound puts it far above many other Rush pieces. The title track is the BEST Rush song from the 70s. Best I Can along with By-Tor and the Snowdog are not far behind. 8. Signals - I feel bad ranking this one so low. New World Man just lights up my mood every time I hear it and is definitely my 3rd fav Rush song. Subdivisions is such a beautiful song that identifies Rush's 80s sound. 9. Rush - I'm enraged at how disliked this album is among Rush fans. Working Man is the closest I've ever seen Rush mirror the best band EVER (The Who). In the Mood and Finding my Way are classic rockers too. Overall, the band appeared lost in what direction to take, but it was worth it to create such awesome Zeppelin riffs. 10. Clockwork Angels - I'm still getting used to this new sound of theirs, but so far, at least half the album appears to be very strong in terms of Rush awesomeness. The Anarchist is Rush's best song since Presto. Very good album when you consider that Rush might be at the end of their road.
