Aaaaahhhhhhhhh, Roll the Bones - another of my favourite Rush albums. You really can say that every song on this one is a killer and the production is awesome. As for my favourite track, I see I'm the first to go for Neurotica. Why? I just love the lyrics.

Hold Your Fire, one of my favourite albums. I love every song on it but I've got to give my vote to Open Secrets (totally arbitrary on this). The song just sends shivers down my spine and I can really relate to the lyrics.

I find Power Windows to be a strange album - I think every song on it is a killer but I find it a difficult album to listen to as a whole, no idea why. Saying that, Marathon has got to be the highpoint - mainly because of the performance of it the guys did both nights I saw them at the NEC, Brum on the HYF tour.

For a long, long time my favourite was Afterimage, even though for a few years I was unable to listen to it because of the memories it evoked (it reminded me very strongly of the death of my brother). However, more recently Red Sector A has come to the fore simply because of the passion behind the song.

This is a difficult choice as I've loved every track on it (eveery since standing outside Mike Lloyd music in Hanley on a freezing cold day on the release date) with the exception of Stick It Out - just can't get a handle on it. However, Cold Fire comes out a winner for two reasons - Al's killer guitar riff and the imagery conjured by the lyrics (phosphorescent wave on a tropical beach)

Sorry bout that, I thought I'd done. Must be the onset of senility. anyway, try this one... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Jimyyz2112/Misc/dec.jpg

How about The Camera Eye 'Green and grey washes in a whispy white veil Mist in the streets of Westminster'

My wife always crowns me when I make puns like that and it always hurts like hell.

Go fr'it By the way, the screencapture is from the exact moments he says that line

Do you want any more hints? It'll slay you to find out.

I don't think you can call it obscure by any stretch of the imagination.

How about Rickenbacker? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Jimyyz2112/Misc/4003-x.jpg

Now that is almost too cute

QUOTE (BSG @ Oct 11 2004, 12:34 PM) I have a feral-donkey guess (aka "wild-@ss"). If it's in the last 15 years, that makes it 1989, and Presto, possibly RTB. Else you might have said "in the last 10 years", since Couterparts was 1994. Chain Lightning I picture your Satanic character saying "That's nice". Told ya it was wild-@ss. Close but

Let's see: The photo is taken from an episode of a very popular TV series and the character, at the very moment seen, says a line that is featured in a Rush song released in the last 15 years.

I think the category one is a good idea. Possible categories could be Directors (who directed what) Actors (who played who in what) Plot Points Characters (which character was in which film) These are just some suggestions.

Funny thing is that James will clear up after himself when he's at his Grandparents but won't at home.

I hate to tell you this, but that's actually our living room.

Thanks

Here's me and my wife with our children James and Mary on our wedding day last year http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Jimyyz2112/fam3.jpg This is Mary on her own, taken the same day http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Jimyyz2112/mary.jpg This is James after telling me how much he likes my Rush T-Shirts (he recognises the Summertime Blues cover I use as Wallpaper) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Jimyyz2112/100_0243.jpg and this one was taken while on holiday a couple of months ago http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Jimyyz2112/Whitby/100_0312.jpg
