Damn....

I bought UK(Self titled), Danger Money and UK live when they came out. At the time I didn't even realize the significance of the band members, I just thought it looked like something I would enjoy. I bought a lot of albums that way not even knowing anything about the band or music inside. Different times back then for sure...

Yes, and I will just add BOTH SIDES...

Agreed on ATWAS. Ged's voice alone would scare off any non fan of any age. I have personal experience over the years with this. They just don't hear it like I do...

I didn't know Grace was your last also, same as me...

Anything pre 85' I loved right away. ATWAS was my first Rush album then I backtracked and bought the first 4 studio albums. After hearing the incredible live versions it took me a while to appreciate the studio versions of the ATWAS setlist...

Grace Under Pressure was the last great album IMO. CA could have been but for the production...

This^^^. It's dissed here and apparently just about everywhere from what I can tell...

I thumbed through a few more and Lessons at 118 was better than expected. Whomever did this isn't a fan of HYF obviously lol...

Rivendell is ranked at 31. Good grief...

Here Again at 160? Not bothering with the rest...

Welcome to TRF!!!! :dweez: Yep lol. For most of my life I didn't realize they made any albums after 85'...

I knew you'd have trouble with this one, lol. May as well have asked a mother to pick her favorite child. Or a father. That was the first thing that crossed my mind. Do I choose my daughter or my son...

Just can't...

Agreed......Chicago are cheesy nonsense. You never heard the early shit with Terry Kath. Real. Hendrix thought he was great, but what did he know? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-daSUCz-IFo The drummers girlfriend must have been holding the camera lol... He's a drummer, so it might be his mom. Lol. Nothing like watching Zappa play drums while Kath is shredding smh...

Never gets old....

Glad someone did this^^^for me although I disagree with the last one lol...Grace is just waaay better

The first album I ever bought over 40 years ago and still the one I would keep if I were forced to trash all of my collection but one. Raw and amazing to this day...

Jesus H. Christ, Get a grip. No one here called him ugly, or even implied it. Sickly and unhealthy, yes. And yes, even in black and white his nose is a heck of a lot darker than it was just a few years ago. It's a form of rosacea called rhinophyma, and while it's not caused from drinking, drinking can certainly exacerbate the condition. So the drinking in retirement thing has been implied. Looking ugly though? No, sorry, you're wrong. And our opinions on how he looks have absolutely nothing to do with any degree of fandom. And for Christ's sake it's you're not your, and their not there. Good thing the word "to"(too, two) wasn't used lol... Your write to.

You haven't had true fan status since Signals came out. :P Power Windows actually but close enough lol... But even after GUP you were probably hoping that Rush would go back to a more hard rock classic sound on their next album? I know I was. You know to be honest at the time I really enjoyed(still do) MP, Signals and Grace but I of course noticed the change but they were still my boys. I still went to the yearly shows each year up to HYF but my daughter was born in 87' and it really changed everything...

Good to see ya', Narps! :cheers: I'll never forget that last show in Atlanta, man. I mean the bottom freaking dropped out! My girlfriend and I and the couple we were with stopped at Academy to buy ponchos after we left the pub. And then, miraculously, the skies parted...light streamed down in bright, unbroken beams! Okay...that may be a stretch. But it did stop raining just in time for the show. I remember the same. It was almost poetic but boy was it muddy all around the place lol. Great show but as I said I knew it was my last. First show in 79' and that was the last. A great run...

Good to see ya', Narps! :cheers:
