Happy birthday to the man Alex once referred to as "the world's only true Rush fan" Mr. Geddy's Soul Patch! Shake Lee hand!

That would be nice. Would it? What if 2 and 2 isn't 4?

He had to start his own birthday thread... how tragic. Happy birthday Rage Kage!

As maybe one or two of you know, GSP is my beloved cousin. Here he is rockin' out courtesy of S. Claus!

Just wait, in a few years it'll be time for Olivia to see what daddy does...

Sorry for bumping a year old debate, but i disagree. He had all his range and power, to me, all the way up to the Hemispheres album. Listen to the Canadian Bacon bootleg (12/10/1977), The Different Stages live album (2/20/1978) or the Providence 1978 bootleg (1/12/1978) to see that he still had it. It wasn't until the tour where he went downhill. For instance, compare 2112 from one of the bootlegs mentioned to Black Forest (5/28/1979), and you'll see. Debating a ghost eh? The ghost of Christmas past. I hope Scrooge will change his ways, Spaghetti for everyone!

Rush's recent mainstream acceptance is a bad thing overall. Neil's political opinions were more rational when he was a big Ayn Rand fan. Alex is the most musically talented member of the band.

Clockwork Angels is a bottom tier Rush album.

I've always thought this song bites Rush pretty hard (not anywhere near the quality of course):

Like that song !! I've never heard it before . . . thanks If you haven't checked out The Mars Volta you're in for a treat! Deloused in the Comatorium and Frances the Mute are unbelievable albums!

I went through a phase like that too, Lorraine. I heard they call it puberty... Yes. :) eh what? Guys... I am 25 years old... I am not in puberty. Why would I say that I love it just because you guys hate it? I don´t give a rat ass of what you guys think about the songs! I don't give a "rat ass" what you think about them either. And still this is like your fifth thread about Xanadu.... You got some real problems... The Prince has spoken!! Mind the prince! Mind ya f***in mannahs yah queeh! Go feck yuh'self yuh f***in piece of shite!

If you knew what has been happening "behind the scenes", you'd have a very different take on it. This IS the end. Neil will NEVER tour again. Take that to the bank. This still isn't official and can never be official, you understand that right? I am pretty sure you don't work for the band I think it's your friends with someone who does? Even if you do it's still hearsay and that's why it can't be taken to the bank. Because you aren't Rush. Stage 1: Denial Stage 1 is anger: "f***in' captain Ed! Joint sucker, f***in' cocksmoker!" "Probably not even a captain" "Did you see how f***in' fat that f***in' lardass was?" The second stage is denial.

It's about everything . . . that we don't see. Every time you see something, there are things that you don't see, simultaneously. Like right now there are things behind you, things above you, things . . . inside you. Things betwixt the air itself life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on

Tool. Their music is just perfect for me, I love it.

HAHAHA, seriously?? Seriously! That's awesome.

HAHAHA, seriously??

You'd have to leave notes for yourself so you knew to listen to them and what albums. I still probably wouldn't do it, too many great experiences and memories tied to Rush would be lost. I might consider it for a few of my favorite books though.

You've officially f***ing lost it. This is a joke right?

You use the rasta emoticon for a lot of songs that are about the furthest thing from what I would associate with smoking pot.

I actually agree a lot with your lists. Although for me War Paint is closer to the bottom 10 than the top, and I've never really had a problem with (grammy nominated!) Malignant Narcissism.

Truer words were never spoken

Working Man Fly By Night The Fountain of Lamneth 2112 Xanadu Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Natural Science Tom Sawyer The Analog Kid The Body Electric Grand Designs Time Stand Still The Pass Dreamline Animate Driven Secret Touch The Main Monkey Business Caravan

I may have to take away your Rush fan card for that. oh sure sacreligious or whatever, when itboils down to it, it's a beautiful f***ing song! Have you even been to Rivendell??

I don't think you can split up Hemishperes...
