black midi - 3 phenomenal albums so far. Also enjoying Squid and Black Country, New Road

I'm sure any PT fans are aware of the new album :dweez: https://porcupinetree.com/

Rush through to Signals.

A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves

Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, Presto

When Hold Your Fire came out. I played the first track, binned it and didn't hear a new album until Snakes came out.

^ Yeah Claudio Sanchez would make a good replacement for Geddy in any circumstance. Love C&C too. The video was great tvm.

Dog Years

This is terribly sad news. RIP sir.

Least favourite are Power Windows and Hold Your Fire. Too poppy, too synthy.

This is exactly my view as well. I did perservere with PoW and HYF, But I didn't get passed the first track on HYF. P/G, PoW and HYF are my 3 least favourite albums. Don't get me wrong I liked P/G then and still do but the handwriting was on the wall. The fact that at 24 years old at the time that I didn't even bother to buy PoW tells me something. In retrospect half of it is really still quite good but that isn't what I had come to expect from my band... Sorry, my comments made me seem like I hated GUP. I don't dislike any Rush album, just those 3 are my least favourite. However, as I missed out a lot of Rush between HYF and Clockwork Angels I had some catching up to do.. So much so even though I now own all the albums in one guise or another I've just bought Sector 3. I've read these are the best masters, so if that's the case I'll get Sector's 1 and 2 too.

1. YYZ 2. The Camera Eye 3. Red Barchetta 4. Tom Sawyer 5. Limelight 6. Vital Signs 7. Witch Hunt

17 June 1980 for me. Manchester Apollo Permanent Waves tour. A spotty 16yo.

This was the album that switched me off to Rush. I persevered and was bought HYF as a gift, but didn't get passed Force Ten. When I did come back to Rush a few years ago, I had some catching up to do. But I still dislike this album and HYF as the major low points IMO. Big Money is a horrible opener, though I do like some of the other tracks now - notably Middletown Dreams.

The electrocution scene using a dry sponge in The Green Mile is brutal and cruel.

When I die, though I don't want a grand departure, I've always thought Tears would be a fitting tune for my funeral. I was out cleaning my car the other day, cycling through the Rush albums like I normally do, when Tears came on. Man, I was a mess. I don't get emotional easliy but something in that moment just hit me.

I was a massive JP fan in the very early days, still am, but for me Killing Machine was the last. I really didn't get the direction of British Steel and whilst I carried on getting the albums, I ran out of steam around Defenders. I still have all the albums upto Killing Machine in my car and play them frequently. And I know it isn't popular but the debut still has a very soft spot for me. I wished they had carried on in that more prog vein than going HM. Entirely my views of course.

Haven't seen* and don't want to see: Titanic 4 Weddings and a Funeral Love Actually Mamma Mia * Thankfully nor does my wife - yay.

Preacher - sad that I've finished season 3. I adore this show so much. Next, well as I was in Dubrovnik last week my wife and have started to watch GoT from the beginning (again). If we watch 2 eps a week we'll be up-to-date for the start of the last season next year. No point in picking out Dubrovnik landmark in S01 as it was filmed in Malta lol. Season 2 though - I was there yeehaa.
