SO DAMN GOOD.. Though, Ive had quite a selection of both Porters and Stouts and cannot really tell the difference, if any. Can anyone tell me the difference between a Stout and a Porter.

a cigarette, and about to put another one in. Oh boy.

Currently, I can not get enough of Lizard. Lizard   Does a more complex and sophisticated prog album exist? Yes. Gentle Giant had plenty.     But Lizard is great! >Gentle Giant YES!   but, really, lately I've been jamming 80's Crimson, and that is a first for me. I'm loving it (Beat, Discipline, and Three are GREAT) I listened to Fripp and company a metric butt ton in high school, but never got past Red. Stuck in the 70's. It was a hard choice between Lark's Tongue and Lizard, but Lark's Tongue is just nuts. Absolutely nuts.   Also, can someone explain the hate for Islands? Call me silly, but I don't get it. I would've voted for that (or In the Wake) after Larks and/or Lizard. Forget about, In the Court of the Crimson King. Sure, it's a really raw and balls-to-the-wall prog sound, but the refinement they get ESPECIALLY on Islands is well beyond that. I am open to discussion.

At 12:30 this morning, last night, (so almost 24 hours ago) someone in my apparment complex called the cops on me and my friends. We were jamming out, listening to Counterparts, drinking, and playing Mario Kart. Just about to watch TPB and the sheriffs come in and arrest my two friends and my live-in girlfriend who was asleep at the time. Yeah, I was, excuse my french, f***ing pissed. I gave the cops hell, passively aggressively (and mildly drunk) making fun of them. They, obviously, brought along some newbie sheriffs who didn't know how to do a breathalyzer, stepped both feet into my house right after I answered the door, and forgot to read rights. Me and another 21yo friend sat at the Hendrix county jail until damn near four in the morning waiting to bail my friends out. They were massive cocks, as I'm sure anyone in my position would say. SO, they've pissed me off for the past 24 hours. Bad vibes lol

hard choice, but

And has he ever put on the bald cap and blue face paint? -- just for fun.

oh, also sorry if this is too much of a necrobump. I read June instead of January lol

HAH! I was hoping there'd be some Sandman fans on here, though I am disappointed that no one is really ecstatic about it. Favorite comic series ever, really, it's great stuff. Read it in order and it'll blow you away. The last book, The Wake, is by far the weakest. Save it for last though, you won't appreciate it at all if you're not nuts about the series already.

Props to everyone trying to buy them all. I downloaded them onto my laptop forever ago, and they took up most of my attention in my senior year of high school. I'd kill for those big, $100 reprint books though. Those looks incredible.

 

 

Sandman also got me hooked on Hellblazer. Fun fact.

Test for Echo

 

Digital Man

 

 

 

 

clicked on this thread from the big front page, started reading it, and got horribly scared, Spindrift beating Subdivisions and Test for Echo beats Double Agent and Ghost of a Chance?! Then I noticed it was "lyric is worse" lol

Red Barchetta

 

Everyday Glory

Just finished my half gal of POS vodka (skol). god, drinking on a budget sucks.

 

can I jump in here?

Losing it

I think it'd be suuuuuper cool to hear some "stripped down" Rush now. That being said, the self title and Fly By Night aren't even close to my favorite albums.

At the same time, I feel like Clockwork Angels is kind-of-sort-of like that. Like, it really feels more, I don't know, at home with Geddy and Alex. Like they're really trying to bring it back to basics. Granted, there's a lot of added sounds, keys and ambient pads and such, but I feel like they really got a raw Rush sound on Clockwork. If nothing else, Neil got back to his thing. I'm not a big Vapor Trails fan and it took me forever to get into Test for Echo, only because Neil strays so far from what makes him Neil (snare and high hat), and he really got back to that on Clockwork Angels.

But yeah, I feel like Clockwork is the closest thing we're gonna get now-a-days, and I'm ok with that.

So, I just started watching Doctor Who (the revamp, thank god for Netflix) and I am loving it. Been watching it for a week and I'm watching the second part of the Cybermen episode from season 2 right now. I loved Eccleson but David Tennant is HILARIOUS. Good stuff

 

 

 

 

also, this Lumic guy who created the Cybermen looks a hallova lot like Neil imho. HAH

Fountain without a doubt. First Rush song I really nerded out to.

Close race. I will go Marathon.

this album is my current favorite, can't make a decision now

P/G forever!

 

Between the Wheels was one of my first favorite Rush songs though

I'm surprised to see so many votes for Analog Kid and The Weapon.

 

Digital Man though, man. even though the lyrics get kind of silly lol

I will argue for days that the Witch Hunt drum fill is the BEST drum fill on the whole album. Gets my vote.

The Vital Signs drum beat is monster though, second best for sure. And that bass tone?! GD, man. GD.

 

NS is my best and favorite song, for sure. Once I get to the end of the album I just repeat it over and over and over and over.. and mix in Different Strings a few times too, for good measure.

La Villa for two reasons:

the high note Alex hits at 5:00 and Neil on the high hat and snare is godly. beyond godly.

I'm not even voting on this one. It's too hard.

Farewell rips so hard, Geddy is all over the place on the fretboard and vox.

Xandu "FOR I WILL DINE ON HONEYDEW!"

Closer to the Heart is just a beauty

Madrigal is even more of beauty. Tear jerker for sure.

and X1 is probably the heaviest Rush song ever.

SO, can I vote for every song but Cinderella Man?

Soliloquy almost makes 2112 over S4N for me. But, come on, all day. Bass tone. Something For Nothing got my vote.
