  1. As if the air supply in NYC was not bad enough, in blows Air Supply.
  2. I've heard this song only once in my life. Once. Meaning, I've listened to FBN all the way through only once. I know what kind of song it is but I couldn't hum a single bar. Ergo, I find this ranking acceptable. Why only "acceptable?" Because even though I've had only one listen, I can say with 100% confidence that it's a better song than "Second Nature" which has yet to appear on this list for some ungodly reason.
  3. While I agree with the others that this song is perhaps ranked too low -- it's certainly not a bad song -- I see it as yet another uptempo low-intensity happy-rocking album closer. The band was really into these starting with RTB's "You Bet Your Life" and continued all the way through S&A's "We Hold On." You Bet Your Life Everyday Glory Carve Away The Stone Out Of The Cradle We Hold On These tunes are not bad but they're kind of innocuous. For me, Out Of The Cradle is the best of these.
  4. This is a song I really want to like. There is a dissonant heaviness in the verses that works, but the vocals and the ever-present S&A "ooooh oooooohs" seem to clash with that heaviness. The pieces don't quite fit together. This is one where I wish Nick would have tried to push the boys to do a little rearranging.
  5. How dare you!!! We still haven't seen Second Nature on this list, which is a crime against all humanity and probably dolphins and whales too.
  6. Yep, pretty much. Neil started getting into "gimmicky" lyrics in the post-MP era, possibly starting with The Big Money. Phrases, alliteration, word games, etc., annoyingly repeated throughout the song. Maybe he thought just being clever with words would make for good song lyrics, but more often than not those songs fell flat. This is one of those songs, even though the "neurotica- exotica-hypnotica" stuff is limited to the choruses. (Big Money is one of the few good ones, IMO)
  7. I agreed with the ranking for Bravest Face (171), but TWTWB is the second-worst song from S&A? Worse than Good News First, The Larger Bowl and We Hold On? (I'm even tempted to add Faithless and Spindrift to those , but only tempted.)
  8. Lists such as this are largely subjective -- and you did name this list as YOUR rankings, so we're not allowed to tell you that you're wrong about this song or that song. But this song is pretty unique for Rush, with Alex's snarky chords and Geddy playing chords right along with him, and Neil actually grooving in the verses. So this is the first song on this list (so far) where I completely disagree with where it's placed, especially considering that we somehow haven't seen Second Nature yet.
  9. Bob and Tkachuk are a two-man wrecking crew. Florida getting Tkachuk was the smartest trade made by any team this season.
  10. I've watched that video several times since it was released a few months ago and meant to post it here, but never got around to it, so thank you Fridge. You have to respect a person who can turn their hardship into a therapeutic form of art. Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice did a nice reaction and vocal analysis of this song.
  11. There's someone who went through hell and not only survived it, but flourished. Nothing but respect for her. RIP Tina.
  12. Right, unless you're a gifted player like Tiger who added muscle to his God-given generational talent. He went from looking like a typical golfer to having the v-shaped physique of a wide receiver. Do I think he juiced? Not necessarily. He could have simply hit the gym to get that physique. But I do wonder about it because of all the chronic muscle and bone injuries he's suffered, even well before his car accident two years ago -- that plus his legendary competitive drive. With his accuracy off the tee, a few extra yards would be a benefit, especially in the major tournaments. It's entirely possible that he's just injury-prone.
  13. He should own every PGA wins record by now. Makes me wonder if he was juicing at one point, considering the way his body started breaking down.
  14. Apparently they produce some good hockey players there. Send in the scouts!
  15. Joe Pavelski winning a Cup makes Dallas the easy choice for me. They're pretty much my secondary team anyway, lots of players on that team that are easy to like -- Pavelski, Benn, Hintz, Heiskanen, Robertson, etc.
  16. The lyrics to this song are bottom-5 worst, maybe bottom-1 worst. They're Neil's worst on an album with mostly terrible lyrics. They were cringy back in the mid '90s when the internet was first becoming accessible to the general public, and now here we all are, still online and still cringing. Lyrically and musically, the "Net boy" choruses in this song are unlistenable. But that main riff...it's one of the band's catchiest and heaviest, and I think that riff by itself elevates this song to a much higher position on the list than fourth-worst. Still a bottom-30 song for sure, but higher than this. YMMV.
  17. It's not a coincidence. These two songs are, according to the FDA, Generally Recognized As Unsafe.
  18. Unless Tai Shan is an.....Anagram. (That was for Mongo)
  19. Congrats, you didn't finish dead last and you still won Bedard!
  20. That version of Siberian Khatru is just blistering. Steve Howe is ripping it up on that end jam.
  21. My PS2 is no longer powering up. There are tutorials on YouTube on how to fix it, and I might give it a shot if I can ever find the time. There are a few PS2 games that I still like playing.
  22. I always thought of Aerosmith as the American muscle car of rock bands. They're like a '69 GTO or a '70 Chevelle.
