Texas King

7/10

Not a fan of either record but S&A gets my vote.

Red Lenses easily.

1. Subdivisions 2. Red Sector A 3. Marathon (by a hair over The Analog Kid)

Which cover version do you prefer?

Natural Science easily. And I love The Camera Eye.

1. Permanent Waves 2. Hemispheres 3. A Farewell to Kings 4. Moving Pictures 5. 2112 Not currently but always.

Xanadu by a mile.

Maybe when it comes to Geddy and Neil. But when it comes to Alex's guitar work, COS is way more remarkable.

Caress of Steel hands down. It has the mighty Necromancer.

Probably Hemispheres.

Permanent Waves is my favorite Rush album but Hemispheres gets my vote here.

1) Test for Echo 2) Vapor Trails 3) Test for Echo

Test for Echo is the weakest, closely followed by Roll the Bones.

That's the absolute truth.

Hemispheres, because Permanent Waves is not the 70's album (both date-wise and musically).

Permanent Waves!

What would you say? Is that intro their "own" unique thing or do you hear an influence of some other band?

"Blues and Roots" is my go to Mingus album It's very good, but I much prefer Black Saint and Mingus Ah Um.

I'll try, no particular order: David Bowie - Hunky Dory Led Zeppelin - II Black Sabbath - Master of Reality Rush - Permanent Waves Deep Purple - In Rock Iron Maiden - Powerslave The Who - Who's Next Queen - Sheer Heart Attack Yes - Close to the Edge The Doors - The Doors Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town Neil Young - Harvest Megadeth - Rust in Peace Charles Mingus - Black Saint and the Sinner Lady Van Halen - Van Halen Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction Opeth - Blackwater Park Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny Motorhead - Overkill Prince - Sign O' the Times Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic King Crimson - ITCOTCK Alice in Chains - Dirt Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Pixies - Doolittle Dire Straits - Love Over Gold Rainbow - Rising The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds The Stooges - Fun House

Dead & Bloated Whitesnake - 1987

Communication Breakdown Deep Purple - In Rock

Two hard rocking tunes from 1991. Take your pick.

Both great, but Bastille Day wins.

Necromancer by a nose.
