"Silly" is the wrong word for how I view it. The RtB rap was just so... not Rush. I don't like Double Agent that much better, but I felt like it fit better with their style.

I'm thinking life-size replica of the 2112 Starman at LEGOLAND?

Pretty much anything Alex said in Beyond the Lighted Stage was pure gold. My favorite part from BtLS, though, was when they were talking about their decision to create 2112 and defy their record company... it changed the way I viewed the band, and I have a lot of respect for them because of it. "We talked about how we would rather go down fighting than try to make the record they wanted us to make." That right there is why I love Rush.

Signals is the ultimate synth Rush album, but Permanent Waves is so all around good that it has to rank at least top five of all time. 90's Rush doesn't really do it for me, but Counterparts had the better songs of that decade.

Hemispheres Permanent Waves Signals Rush Fifth Order of Angels (don't know if it counts as an "album", but you gotta love the raw bootleg sound)

I think it's worth mentioning that Geddy's signature instrument goes for under $1K. (I love being a bass player) Still, those pictures are making me drool on my keyboard. Every time I listen to Alex just go at it, I have to convince myself I don't need a less crappy guitar. And I agree with what ewblank said; Rickenbacker basses are ridiculously expensive just because guys like Geddy made them famous. But I would still buy one if I could, and same goes for the Axcess.

Subdivisions, but just the synth riff - I can never quite get my mind focused on the lyrics for very long.
