Even though we all knew it to be true, it still hurts to actually "hear" it. :| http://loudwire.com/...basically-done/

QUOTE (MCM @ Jun 9 2008, 04:48 PM) Most likely it was around 1977, I was about 10 years old, It was probably 2112... I don't know for sure. I was with my older brother riding in his car.. I remember this long, long, long part of the music where there was no singing, I was getting impatient to hear the singer sing so I asked "Is he ever going to sing".. (hey, I was only 10) my brother told me very sternly.. it's not always about the lyrics.. just shut up and listen.. (he was not always kind to me, but he always had the best music).. at this point I remember a light going off in my head that it wasn't always about the lyrics, sometimes you just had to listen to the music..and this was lovely music, been a fan ever since. I will soon be taking his three sons to their first concert ever and it will be Rush.. It may have even been an 8 track..... Nice story!

QUOTE And let me add that it's quite odd to see Rush listed alongside Anne Murray and Paul Anka. At least Gordon Lightfoot isn't on that album No friggin' kidding eh? Let's just say the Canadian music scene was a tad smaller back then so to get enough "A" material for an album like that it had cover a broad spectrum of music. I don't know, I can picture Anne Murray doing Freewill, no?!

This may have been covered before but... If you can think that far back (in some cases ), 1) What was the the very first song of theirs you ever heard, 2) When was it, 3) How old were you, and 4) Where were you at the time? Mine was "In the Mood" in 1975 when I was 12 years old. I heard it on my spankin' new "Canada Gold" LP in the basement of my parent's house in a little town in northern Ontario. Thus began a love affair... http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/rocinante_photos/gold.jpg
