"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?

QUOTE (drbirdsong @ Jun 30 2011, 10:19 PM) BTLS is just a wealth of quotes. "Can you turn the camera off while I use it?" 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.

Best 80's - Either Signals of Permanent Waves. I can't decide. Best 90's - Counterparts

As a Floridian, I am hard-pressed to say anything but Orange if it's done right. I've had some pretty terrible orange ice cream, but the good stuff (gotta be soft-serve) is like heaven in a waffle cone.

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.
