Because we have so many nerds here.
I went with Nemesis, mainly because it's so lifeless and un-Star Trek-like on top of looking embarrassingly cheap. Also, the dune buggies.

"Losing It", no contest.
-
"Afterimage"; no question about it.

So, uh, where is he?

"2112" (pitched down, obviously)
Drum solo, which segues into
"Dreamline"
"Ghost Rider"
"The Pass"
"Resist"
Intermission (or, possibly, "Hope")
"La Villa Strangiato", which segues into
"The Main Monkey Business"
Clockwork Angels piece
"Chain Lightning"
"We Hold On"
"Bravado"
"YYZ"

QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Apr 23 2011, 01:13 AM) You have no facts about this being Rush's final tour. You do have a bucket full of bullshit, however. And it's not even entertaining bullshit. Entertaining bullshit has some value, at least. Yours is just annoying. Plus, you have that smug "I'm smarter than the rest of you" thing going, which I suspect is also bullshit, and that's bad when combined with the non-entertaining bucket of bullshit. And how much do you have when you add what's in the bucket to what's (presumably) out in the pasture?

Is this even a question? Caress of Steel is a very nice album, but Hemispheres outdoes it in almost every way.

"Hopin' Secrets"
Ed went right by me.
At the time, Ed won over my head.
I was looking at the window.
I shouldn't look at your face, instead.
He went right by me,
Justin over wall.
They showed a bitter moment
When we let our berries fall.
I never met what you're thinking.
It's not what I'm in at all.
Well, I guess we all had these peelings.
Can't leave 'em wreckin' style.
Someone then burned out our sealings;
Someone then earned us a child.
Things that they're concealing.
Wheel'd never lettuce grow.
Tidal dew is healing;
You've got to let Ed go.
Clothes for my protection.
Open to your storm.
Between these 'tude erections,
My art is sometimes torn.
I lie and wink with my secrets
Spittin' 'round my Ed.
Something that's somehow escapee.
Some think he showed 'em NSAID.
I was looking at the window.
I shouldn't look at your face, instead.
Well, I guess we all had these peelings.
Can't leave 'em wreckin' style.
Someone then burned out our sealings;
Someone then earned us a child.
Things that they're concealing.
Wheel'd never lettuce grow.
Tidal dew is healing;
You've got to let Ed go.
Let Ed go.
Fido had solution.
Hear my rational point of view.
Baby, some things are distinctive,
But there's one thing you could do:
Yuka tried to understand me,
A good try to understand you.
Yuka tried to understand me,
A good try to understand you.
Well, I guess we all had these peelings.
Can't leave 'em wreckin' style.
Someone then burned out our sealings;

Tidal dew is healing;
You've got to let Ed go.
Let Ed go.
Lettin' go...
(I'm so sorry.)

I voted for Hemispheres, although Presto would have been equally valid. In hindsight, I should probably have gone with the latter, since it's so underrated, and since the former already has more than enough votes as it is.
Eh. Such is life.

QUOTE (HowItIs @ Mar 26 2011, 04:11 AM) Also... not misheard but; in Prime Mover, some lyrics I've seen read "National resistance/responses" even the official songbook. But GG has it correct here. I KNOW Geddy is singing "Rational." The other just doesn't make any sense at all. Any ideas of how it got screwed up like that? Same question, but regarding the pervasive substitution of "heartbreak" for "high-grade" in "Marathon". What on Earth is a "heartbreak climb uphill" supposed to be?

QUOTE (micgtr71 @ Mar 20 2011, 06:49 PM) Ok so this is not going to be popular but I am going to have to say that to me, by definition, the only epics are 2112, TFOL, and Hemispheres. I was going to put a disclaimer to that effect in my original post (although the only ones that I don't see as actual epics are "Xanadu", "The Camera Eye", and the songs from Permanent Waves), but it somehow fell by the wayside. In any case, I figured that "epic" was the accepted terminology among Rush fans for the longer, more progressive rock-oriented songs.

QUOTE (Janie @ Mar 22 2011, 09:12 AM) Thanks guys. It was so nice to read your comments.
After watching Crum last night I decided it was time to call the vet. They aren't open yet so I left a message. Today is the day. I am so heartbroken. Today is not going to be a good day. It's going to be really sad leaving with Crum in his little carrier and then coming back home with it empty. And I'm crying again. My poor little Crummy. I have him on my lap right now so I'm going to start giving him extra hugs.As a longtime cat owner until a few weeks ago (the cat just disappeared one day, and it hasn't returned), I have nothing but the deepest sympathy.

Splurged on a shiny, new copy of The Lord of the Rings at Barnes and Noble (so sad to see Borders meet its demise), along with a few Bill Bryson books, a very nicely-packaged version of Relayer to replace the bare-bones version that I used to have and lost, and an iced coffee. After that, I went to see The King's Speech in the theater; it had been a while since I'd last seen a really good movie on the big screen, and there were only about two or three other people there, so it was even better than I'd hoped for.
QUOTE (Xanadu93 @ Mar 20 2011, 07:58 PM) My cat just showed up after being gone for two weeks! Since he rarely, if ever, leaves for a long time, it's awesome since we thought he had run off to die. I'm so glad that's not the case. Welcome home, Oliver!
This post just un-made my day. My cat's been missing for a couple of weeks, too, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't coming back.

QUOTE (carlh6902 @ Mar 20 2011, 12:37 AM) Just to clarify a few points mentioned in earlier posts: If you'd read the thread, you'd realize that both have already been said, and by multiple people. Besides, that's pages and pages back; what was the point of dredging up such an old topic long after everybody had already moved on?
(Although, if we're going to do that kind of thing, I might as well revisit the "OF SALESMEN!" line. I still think that it's terrible in the context of the song, regardless of its inspiration. Even Peart had major second thoughts about it.)

Anyway...
Hemispheres and Presto are tied as my two favorite albums, with Power Windows in second place.
Roll the Bones is my least-favorite album. Bleugh.
"Leave That Thing Alone" reminds me the most strongly of a person or event, assuming that you're restricting this to personal experience.
My favorite epic would be either "2112" or "Natural Science".
Presto is the album that I listen to the most frequently.
"Leave That Thing Alone" is the first Rush song that I heard.
I can play pretty much any tune that I want to on the piano, so I'll go with the first album that I owned: Hold Your Fire.
I wish that I could play "2112" on the cello.
I know all of the words to "The Pass", along with a few others.
I can't think of any Rush songs that won me over after a bad first impression.
Rush's output is too prolific and diverse for me to pick a single favorite song from it.
Moving Pictures, on the other hand, is a single album; "Limelight" is my favorite song from it.

Is "Annihilation Gun" real?
If it is, is it too late to fix it?

QUOTE (Good,bad,andrush @ Mar 18 2011, 11:37 PM) The creepy voice sounds absolutely stellar, and is the best of the odd rush voices. Considering that it's up against stuff like Peart's narration in "The Necromancer" and the rapping skeleton in "Roll the Bones", that isn't saying much.
-
I voted for "The Trees". Not because I think that it's the best Rush song ever, but because none of my other choices were representative enough of the band.
-
Pretty neat, but there are some awful typos in there.
-
I like only about half of the songs on each album, but I prefer the ones that I like on Counterparts to the ones that I like on Hold Your Fire.

Worst Star Trek movie?
in Video Vertigo
Posted · Edited by StellarJetman
Apologies for putting this thread in the wrong board; I'd completely forgotten about Video Vertigo.
Speaking of which, why the heck isn't it called Moving Pictures?
Shinzon was the biological clone of Jean-Luc Picard, but his life on Remus consisted of beatings, abuse, bad nutrition (probably), different environment, different gases in the Reman atmosphere to make his voice different, different physical development, etc. The way his aging process was accelerated by the Romulans could have altered his appearance, too. Many plausible reasons for his different appearance.
Except that we see a photo of Picard as a cadet and he's Tom Hardy.
