That's filthy.

It doesn't matter what Rush song you pit against Xanadu, the answer will be Xanadu.

I recently picked Cinderella Man over The Trees in a poll. Hmmmm...

Heart of the Sunrise of the stuff I've heard.

Four of my top twenty Rush songs are on Power Windows (Manhattan Project, Marathon, Mystic Rhythms, Big Money). None are on Grace Under Pressure (Distant Early Warning comes closest). Easy call for me.

My first Rush album was Chronicles and my favorite song on it was Show Don't Tell, so I'm pretty sure.

"Xanadu" is the single best thing Rush has ever done. Phenomenal track. Literally phenomenal.

Is he like that? Or was he in the past? He does seem to have an alcoholic's nose. I had no idea he was anything more than a pot head like all of Rush was in the seventies (at least). But I've been surprised before. It sure was a surprise when John Entwistle died of a cocaine-induced heart attack at the age of 57 in 2002.

Cinderella Man, but this is very close. I love The Trees.

Explain how. It's the lyrics, and you can boil it down to these lines: I can't pretend a stranger Is a long-awaited friend They aren't a "f**k you" but they are a pretty good explanation of what it's like to deal with fans as a person who is shy and introverted.

Limelight on the strength of its gorgeously haunting guitar solo.

Both of these albums leave me cold, apart from the stuff I first heard on Chronicles (Subdivisions, New World Man, Distant Early Warning, Red Sector A). I'm warming to them, though. My last spin through Grace Under Pressure I found myself particularly enjoying "The Body Electric," which I remember not being a fan of when I first got the album in the early to mid nineties. I actually gave it away to a friend of mine (along with the first three Rush albums) when I was deciding that all the Rush worth owning was on Chronicles, AFTK and MP. That was about twenty-five years ago. I have since learned the error of my ways and have built my Rush collection back up. Still have yet to replace the first three albums, however. But I will eventually.

Never mind.

Same here!

Yeah, Fly By Night is probably the most different to its immediate predecessor than any other album in their discography.

Really hard to pick Rush's best three-album run, but I think I'll go with Kings/Hemispheres/Waves.

I like Neurotica, too. I like everything on Roll the Bones, actually.

To me Natural Science, Freewill, Tom Sawyer, The Camera Eye, Witch Hunt and Vital Signs absolutely sound like the 80's tunes. I'd add The Spirit of Radio to that.

I'm fine with that. Replace the miserable bastard with someone with actual talent, and carry on as Rush. I agree. Except for the "miserable bastard" part.

I'm sure they're all very employable with the terrific resumes that touring with Rush has provided them. And, I've gotta say, I remember being worried that Neil might have a freaking heart attack playing so hard in the summer heat outdoors at Jones Beach on the Time Machine tour. Turns out, he was worried about that, too. Neil doesn't owe anybody a heart attack.

In a setlist going back in time, being on the precipice of the seventies means that we're not yet in the seventies. Thanks, geddy!
