Entre_Perpetuo

The one that's on both sides.

Tying it up. They're head to head. Neck and neck. I mean it's really close now!

It certainly is for many people on this board, including myself. I still can't decide actually. My second favorite album by my fourth favorite band versus my event favorite album by my favorite band. These are the difficult choices.

Er, were you meaning to say Since I've Been Loving You? That is one hell of a blues. is there a face palm emoticon? I didn't want to look it up...yeah.

LOL! I love them both about the same, actually. For me, Epping Forest isn't good enough to justify taking up that much of the record, I Know What I Like gets old kind of fast, and After The Ordeal doesn't really make up for Battle. The rest is excellent of course, but it's a really tough listen for me cuz I only love about half the tracks. Perfect start though. Now ATOTT, this thing is all killer to my ears. 50 something minutes of Genesis perfecting the sound and style they went for on SEBTP, minus Gabriel. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'd probably rate Trick higher than Selling, if forced to choose. It took me many years to get into Epping Forest, and to me After The Ordeal is somewhat weak. The only song on Trick I've never totally warmed to is Robbery Assault and Battery. I LIKE IT, but I don't love it. To me neither of them are as strong as The Lamb or Duke. How's that for a strange duo? :D I always struggle with Duke. On one hand, it's pretty consistent throughout in terms of both sound and song quality, and that song quality is pretty darn high most of the time, but on the other hand, it has a lot of the same kind of songs, especially on side two, which all kind of run together for me and detract from the album's ebb and flow. I love it, but it sometimes bores me.

Stairway To Heaven Whole Lotta Love Since I've Been Loving You Dazed And Confused Fool In The Rain Black Dog No Quarter Kashmir When The Levee Breaks What Is And What Never Should Be and so many more EDIT: to fix a song title

Should I be surprised? lol LOL! Perhaps not. But I love Queen too... if this had been Long Away vs Entangled, that'd have been much closer for me.... Yeah, I just figured they were both longish, very soft kind of tracks, without a ton of different sections, but a ton of ambience. Long Away is beautiful as well, but in a different way.

I added a question. Sorry for the confusion.

Pick your favorite. :D

A Trick Of The Tail is significantly better than Selling England By The Pound. Bite me.

So...in the past few months I've picked up Invisible Touch and A Trick Of The Tail (the latter of which I just listened to for the first time)...so update time: 1. Foxtrot 2. A Trick Of The Tail 3. Genesis 4. Nursery Cryme 5. Selling England By The Pound 6. Abacab 7. Wind And Wuthering 8. Duke 9. Invisible Touch 10. We Can't Dance 11. From Genesis To Revelation 12. ...And The There Were Three (forgot this one on my first list, do need to revisit it, don't recall it holding my interest really at all) Favorites from Invisible Touch - Land Of Confusion, Tonight Tonight Tonight, Anything She Does (shout out to In Too Deep and Invisible Touch) Favorites from A Trick Of The Tail - Dance On A Volcano, Squonk, and...aye aye aye, too many good tracks...Ripples maybe...

etc. Yeah, these are missed for sure.

I have qualms with ADATR, but otherwise yeah, spot on. Hems edges out Jazz in my book too. Also struggled between Hems and Springsteen's album, but my love of Rush won me over from there. Stained Class and Van Halen are also brilliant.

Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail Stevie Wonder - Talking Book Weezer - Pinkerton Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny

Oh lol, I voted 6.

7. 8 if I'm feeling it.

We already have a thread for this in Feedback: Totem Polls. That said, A Farewell To Kings

I love this. The Force Awakens trailer was so great because it raised more questions instead of answering any. This seems to be going for a similar approach. I can't wait!!! This has to live up to Episode V...I think it's going to.

Can't remember if I ever did this. Nice thread resurrection. Welcome to searchingforthelostxanadu! Rush: Need Some Love FBN: Rivendell CoS: ITIGB 2112: ...errr, sorry Narps, Lessons AFTK: madri-cal Madrigal Hems: Circumstances...but actually the title track on a bad day. Pew: Different Strings MP: Witch Hunt (the first one here since Rivendell I actually had such an easy time choosing) Signals: Chemistry...I guess. GuP: Red Lenses PoW: Emotion Detector...by an extremely slim margin HYF: High Water (and now things start getting easier) Presto: Anagram (For Mongo) RTB: Heresy CP: The Speed Of Love T4E: Virtuality VT:...goodness they all sound so similar...pick something from the second half that doesn't have a guitar solo SnA: Faithless is my least favorite. The music is fine, but Peart is at his most fallable lyrically. CA: Wish Them Well...unless you really want to count BU2B2 as a full song. Worst song of their career: Heresy

In the hands of the right people, the worst instruments can become the best and the best can become the worst. Music is a game of people, not machines. I say use whatever kinds of keys you want.

I wish I could think of a way to explain where your thinking is off here, but I really doubt anyone but 73 is going to be able to put it eloquently.

This statement is so unreal that I can't find words to describe it, really. I know it is a real SHOCKER to find RUSH fans on this RUSH fanboard that don't listen to Led Zeppelin! If someone asked me if I liked the Placebo album Black Market Music or Moving Pictures more I would answer Placebo. I'm not blind to other bands, but a lot of this 70s rock is just boring to me. How much music do you listen to that came out when you were less than 5 years old? Calm down. Who says I'm not calm? Sarcasm does not equate to agitation. I actually had a wry smile when I typed that. Although I think my last question is valid. I think most of the 70s troopers on here listen to very little music (if any) that was released prior to 1965 when they were the same age I was in 1980 and they certainly don't consider it better than what was released when they were teenagers in the 70s. Fine. Then please adjust your attitude, cuz it won't get you very far around here. I wasn't being hostile in the thread above. I'm not quite sure why it came off as such. I know sarcasm on the internet is a dangerous thing, but I actually felt like I executed it in the most obvious and fun way possible. Either way, I didn't answer you on that thread because I was just going to drop the discussion rather than appear to be arguing. I posted what I said here because I thought that the way you quoted the lyric was a cute way to jab at me about my statement about how the lyrics post 1980 were better. Fair enough, but you should still keep your temper a bit more in check about others' opinions and about others' reactions to your own. That will help you not to come off as unintentionally hostile. Also: Try not to take us too seriously.

Joel is one of the great Amefican songwriters. He's a wonderful performer too.
