Geddy's Winter PSA has always been a favorite. The line "Small children and people worried about their brain, should always wear a helmet." has always cracked me up and is part of my personal lexicon (where applicable, of course). http://youtube.com/watch?v=gwpGXfHmY-A

HOLY JUMPIN' THAT'S A WINNER!

Blues win it in OT. Sorry to Rick and the other Boston fans here, but I'm going with the Blues. They're long overdue for their first Cup win. Plus, going from being in last place overall on Jan 3 to winning the Cup would be pretty awesome.

Wow. I was there for both. Both albums were the center of the universe. Both tours were the center of the universe. Must-haves and must-sees. I was in high school for Sychronicity. I was in college for The Joshua Tree. Loved both albums and both concerts bring back wonderful memories. U2 always meant more to me. Sting is an arrogant egotistical douche. He brushes you away as insignificant. Bono is an elitist condescending bore. He wants to bug ya. He bugs me. Oh yeah, Amnesty International Tour at Giants Stadium. Bono and Sting singing "Invisible Sun"! Great memory!

The comma chameleon!

I'm sorry, I have to ask. Is English your first language? Some of the most interesting syntax, sentence structure, and word-linking that I've come across, and encountered, or read. I find, for the most part, Derek19's posts to be, although not always, rather relaxing to read, as if, and perhaps, possessing a calming quality that, I for one, am enjoying.

Post other genius guest appearances or projects they produced. Or not.

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas. TRF gets £348,000,000 a year, which is supposed to be spent on all our available threads. Then where is the other penny? That makes you a penny short 73, where is it, you naughty person. I would put a tax on all people who stand in water ...Oh! Well...well...I agree with everything Mr. Gumby says. Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.

I love when he hands off his tobaggan to a roadie who rushes it up the mountain. Geddy is the best.

There's a bomb on board this forum, and I'll tell you where it is for a thousand pounds.

Bad Obsession is actually one of my favorite songs on both of the Illusions. Agree. It's a really good tune.

Definitely. Geddy sometimes didn’t take Rush to Europe but dammit he sure is gonna take his book!!

Geeze...Geddy must be having some serious touring withdrawals....he's taking book signings to another level.

Don’t worry about, it’s 8800 km from me! Any of the previous North American spots are likely further.

Here's a song from the first rock band I ever saw live.

My favorite 80s song:

Hi Derek19, don't worry about the flak you've been getting. It's good-natured for the most part. Ed Hunter likes jerking chains at times, but he's a decent guy under all that makeup. :P I think, for the most part, people, including myself, are sometimes confused by, as well as curious about, your frequent, and interesting, use of commas, as well as, and not forgetting, your sentence structure, or syntax. We're all a bunch of weirdos here, if you haven't noticed. Just keep doing what you're doing, and have fun! :cheers: Oh yeah, Go Bruins! http://38.media.tumblr.com/63f659cd2a435907d608b7bfafeaaf8f/tumblr_mvpgj95BRx1shywyho1_250.gif

I'm sorry, I have to ask. Is English your first language? Some of the most interesting syntax, sentence structure, and word-linking that I've come across, and encountered, or read.

I love Safety Dance. Loved Der Kommisar too. I know this wasn't on your list, but Safety Dance made me think of it. They came out around the same time. Yeah i love der kommisar too Hard to explain but its of comical value to me as is safety dance I have been listening to a 80s channel on pandora. Made me appreciate some groups more than i did back then like new order, echo and the bunnymen, the the, pet shop boys, tears for fears. Etc etc

Super close, great poll, Earl! I think I’ll go with Joshua Tree and Bono for my love of Ireland and my Irish heritage and how that music has helped me connect with Ireland. But I have to say, Synchronicity was the first vinyl record I ever dropped a needle on, in fact the first one I ever heard, and the sound of the needle gliding over the groove into the keyboard riff at the start of Synchronicity I is basically what made me realize I NEEDED a record player and a record collection, one of the greatest realizations I’ve ever had. Also Sting is an incredible songwriter with a great, unique voice.

Can't forget Wang Chung either. Or The Smithereens. One great band after another. It was nonstop for years. I lived through the sixties and the seventies, and I still think the eighties is the best.

Ceiling Cat Has Lightning Boobies This is my new favourite Capt. Beefheart album.

No. Their spray is very powerful. It would have gone right into my eyes. I don't know what I would have done. I am indeed very fortunate.

It was close, I like everything! I think Synchronicity has better songwriting, though, so I went with that. Bono throwing the peace sign everywhere drives me nuts; he bugs me a little more for some reason although both have heads that wouldn't fit through a doorway, I think. And everytime I update iTunes that fricking free album shows up again!

Love the Police, but Sting sure comes off like a pompous f*ckhead at times. Stewart should've beaten him silly.

Happy Birthday Metallithrax

I'm not big on either band.

I'd rather listen to Joshua Tree today but when it came out I was falling out of love with U2 whereas Synchronicity hit me in full Police stride so I'll go with Synchronicity for the sake of nostalgia. I chose Bono (is that a compliment?) because Sting is as bad as they get; he sets the standard.

I hate both of these dudes. Sting a bit more and always found The Police ungodly boring. this is like would you rather eat shit or bath in vomit., i just fliped a coin. U2 it is but faint praise Mick

I despise Bono. I think Sting is a jerk too, but I love The Police music. Could listen to them all the time.

The Cops are one of my favorite bands ever. I enjoy U2, but other than Achtung Baby I can't say I love any of their albums.

Yeah Perron pulled Krug's helmet off but he was nuts to go after Thomas without having a helmet on. He said his wife probably wasn't happy with him...

I've got five dollars! And game one result made Rick happy so... :chickendance:
