  1. So sorry to hear. R.I.P. Lorraine .
  2. Next year ! Samantha Fish Smoke Fairies Band Of Horses Dead Can Dance Nick Mason Om Larkin Poe All Them Witches Deep Purple / B.O.C. So far .
  3. There is only one album from me this year . Song For Our Daughter - Laura Marling . I`ve listened to McCartney`s , Dylan and AC/DC but i would`nt say they were albums of the year or any year . But if Box sets count , Thin Lizzy , Legends is bloody brilliant
  4. How do you like it? Hello fellow Mancunian ! You may or may not know I`m a big Beatle fan , so much my son was named after Paul McCartney . So what did I think of it ? I did`nt like it For me Macca`s voice has been shot to bits since the late 90`s I know it`s "Unpolished " and I should be grateful that he`s still recording etc , but I don`t really like his albums for the last 20 years . There is a bit of a quiver in it but he gets around it I think. I have listened to a few more times of some tracks and it was`nt as painful . Don`t think it will be in my collection any time though . What about the last few of his albums? Not a fan of them really . Flaming Pie is Ok and Chaos In Creation is also not bad , the songwriting is typical Macca , but his voice . I wasn`t all that keen on McCartney II when that came out . You can imagine at that time I was listening to The Wall Hemispheres , Gabriel 3 and then you stick on Temporary Secretary . I`ve struggled for many years with Macca`s solo stuff . Flowers In The Dirt was the last album I really played and enjoyed , but was his back to touring album so I got to see the tracks live , that helped .

  7. I need it after listening to McCartney III all the way through .
  8. That's quite the story! Thank you ! Typo on the Hear , it should be here . OH dear :) There is one more Beatle / Rush connection I saw Lennon on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975 ish , and that was amazing , so I watched the show every week or when every it was on . Then in late 1977 The O.G.W.T. showed a little clip of Rush and that they were touring the U.K. early next year . Next day me and my Queen loving and drum nut school mate could`nt believe the size of the kit , I could`nt believe that there were two twin necks ! So we got tickets for our first concert . Rush , Farewell To Kings Tour . Manchester Apollo 1978 .
  9. I listened to Music in my early teens and then heard The Beatles I listened to The Beatles like my life depended on it . Then I heard The White Album . I listened to other types of Music after that . Hear I am on a Rush forum .
  10. I don`t know what to write and on the other side of it , I could write what Rush means to me , which is now 42 years on . My first band I saw live . Thank God it was Rush .
