Bastille Day, Anthem, Something for Nothing. Any 70s song that hasn't been played in ages will blow the door off the joint!

Slap bet (season 1)!

The 53% relates to the portion of Americans who pay federal income taxes (and by extension the 47% that pay none).... The 53% , this is for SOCN? ...a lot of pain on this earth.... Yes, I am a jerk.

That makes you and Krieger as Bacchus lovers. How's this for an obscure Rush reference on Archer (yes, all the vans, but this one was a stunner. I replayed it like five times, did Krieger really say THAT) Lana: Oh, and who also has a poopy diaper? Krieger: Great Bacchus Plateau! It works! Lana: What? What does? Krieger: The K-9000 intrasonic pulse rifle! Lana: What do you mean? What does it do? Krieger: I assume you’re familiar with the Brown Note?

That would be terrible. A great way to brainwash the masses even more!! But aren't people already brainwashing themselves with the news? Most people are loyal to one news source. Fox, CNN, MSNBC. Most people do not float between 3-4 news sources. I equate it to your home internet page. Most people ONLY see Yahoo or MSN. Not both. Already happening. On the topic of single 'news' source - The right is extremely loyal to fox, which is a partisan channel. Every GOP leaning friend/family/acquaintance I know watches fox. Every one. The left watches msnbc, also a partisan channel, but they also watch, as ratings indicate, cnn and the major networks. In the aggregate, that leads to an interesting interpretation of fair and balanced. The non affiliated, we watch the nhl network. But this is not SOCN, so I'll go back to crankin FBN away from here...

I don't think Mondale got 46%. Does anyone think members of The Katy Perry Forum know Mondale? Yeah, Rush fans been around awhile, yeah ooooohhhhh yeah. Now where's my reading glasses?

Find me a chipmunk that sounds like that . . . it will have had a very, very hard life. I'll find ya a chipmunk that sounds like that, but it'll cost you a hundred million.

Man, some great lyrics in the early reply posters. Lots of high intensity, high octane lines. 70s Ged, melodic, angelic screaming.

Back from the Archives? I completely forgot about Archives! First Rush song- Bastille Day , ATWAS version. 1979, I was negative five years old. Summer camp road trip, hopefully it was to TO. Memories flashing very quickly by...

Cut to the Chase, Bastille Day and Something for Nothing, to name a few...

We'll if Wikipedia does not mention screaming, so then it must not be screaming. My two fave era's for Ged's singing were the barritone of the early 90s, and his near screaming of the 70s ;-) Lee's vocals produced a distinctive, "countertenor" falsetto, and resonant sound.[15] His singing style was unique, however, having the ability to span nearly three octaves, from baritone through tenor, alto, and mezzo-soprano pitch ranges.[15] That range was displayed in "Working Man", the best-known song from the group's 1974 debut album, Rush.

I'll do my best not to scream my adulation for the band!

Exactly who has done that? My gripe about Geddy's voice is that it's shot when he has to sing live. Even on the newer material, his enunciation is gone, and his pitch is hit-or-miss. Hadn't considered that JARG and thanks for the post. It really has nothing to do with his "screaming voice" at all. Just his voice in general. He still sounded great in the 80's and his "screaming voice" (good Lord) was all but a thing of the past.... ya know I keep getting mad when people cite ged's screaming as why they don't like rush. Um......he has not done that style on record since 78.......so.....shut up, lol Do your research, lol Mick Was wondering when you would show up? In all honesty as a Rush fan from near the beginning I kind of resent the term "screaming voice" to begin with. "Higher" or "higher pitched" seems more complimentary and appropriate to me. Just my opinion and I will admit a defensive one at that... :codger: It was melodic screaming - controlled, musical screaming. There's a difference between that kind of cool rock screaming and the kind of "I'm falling off a cliff" screaming. That's fine but I still wouldn't use the term "screaming" in any way to describe his voice back in the day. Rob Halford maybe but not Geddy. They both sounded beautiful to me either way... :) For me it just has to do with how broadly one interprets that word - screaming. Someone screaming as a fiery tanker truck rushes towards them on an icy road, a child getting his finger slammed in the door, someone losing it and screaming at his/her parents - those are pretty grating sounds. But when Geddy "screams" "like a spiral sea unending," that makes the hair on one's ears prickle in a very positive way, and floods the ol' thinky-compartment with the right kind of feelings. I don't like the term screaming either. It has a negative connotation. I can't think of a better term though. Wailing?... Mr N, how about Something for Nothing? The first verse Ged's singing among the richest and purest of any rock singer of all time, let alone his 'safe' style from the 80s. I ask, on the rest of SFN? Screaming? IMHO, It's the truest complement, that dude is belting it out, leaving nothing on the table. That was Rush's brilliance of the 70s, for the entire band.

It's like Hemispheres beating out Permanent Waves, it should NEVER had been close! Really two threads on this?????????? Hey JR - equating Hemispheres to BJ (to borrow from Segue)? Different Strings is like baaaaad medicine, bad medicine is what I want!

Neil up 51-49. That would be embarrassing.

There is a lord of the flies component to the show. I think that is what you are referring to. JJ didn't have a choice on that, as it was direction from the network, which wanted castaway with flies. How JJ (and team) then developed such a huge canon, eventually putting his own stamp on the show is brilliant. As he was auditioning for the big leagues, Lost eventually 'led' to two huge gigs for him, one immense one that's about to start.

;) I almost missed the wink! I'm gonna go with you are kidding Mr LABT. Of course Bruford was in Mr Fripp's band, the high priests of virtuosity and complex time signatures.

LL Cool Ged and Alex would have played together again, but definitely not under the RUSH moniker. How about Leefson? Its got a ring to it.

Most problems are happening for very important reasons. By ep 23, you are definitely up to the hatch, which is extremely important in the Islands back-story and surrealism. The hatch Must be dealt with. I thought Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Locke were compelling characters, but the best of them all doesn't appear til seas two or three. JJs brilliance is how he crafts surreal dense layered complex stories, each season is like its own book, and the books are connected , each have their own focus. He perfected this in Fringe and influences Person of Interest, the best tv serials IMHO.If you are in it for the Tom Hanks castaway vibe, you will agree with Zumbi. If you have any interest to the attributes I am bringing up, as the seasons progress, it became a show unlike any other on tv at the time. So many shows now need to thank lost and twin peaks for opening the door.

Lost was a major step forward in the strange surreal Twin Peaks type of drama. Many of the flashbacks become essential as the story builds. Tough to advise without spoilers, let's just say JJ Abrams' shows have a certain genre/reputation. I thought seasons 3 to 5 is where Lost hit its stride.

“I’m confused, the state of Pennsylvania can extradite people for returning lost property? Wow, that is one bold state legislature.”

Fans actually like video vertigo, video vertigo (i can keep going...dizzy yet?) more than CP? Never thought that possible back in the day. Driven... Ok I'm in!
