Amazingly talented musicians the Police are.. Amazing as the Police too with mammoth success . Its no surprise that Alex and Neil used Andy's and Stewarts influences from time to time .(Digital Man comes to mind here). The only one I never heard talk of is Geddy taking from Sting's bass riffs. Agree that there is sometimes 1-2 maybe 3 tracks on each of their albums that are too odd, weak, deeper cut for the album to considered brilliant which is unfortunate. However the rest of those tracks on each album are completely brilliant Agree that all 3 members are pretentious and perhaps too egotistical and Andy did seem more cranky than usual in this interview (lol). Andy is a masterclass player one of the finest ever , Stewart I think is too, and is my 2nd biggest drum influence next to NP. Sting is excels in so many aspects. The Police remain my 2nd overall fav..

J.ladder especially of ESL version

I fully agree with 2,3,12,14,15,20,22,21,16 -

The worst of Rush is that I wish there was more Rush..

Please someone re-mix Presto less trebly, less mid range!! The treble and the high mid ranges lack of bass ranges almost killed this album . Blame this on Bob Ludwig overseeing the mastering .No excuse when you are working with a world class state of the art SSL console and a perfectly natural acoustic room at Le Studio at the time.

Can not do a top 10 Rush song ranking impossible top 20 hard with a few ties top 30 yes. out of this list 10/10 in my top 20 favs . 6/10 would be in my top 10 Tom Saywer, Camera Eye, also in top 10

Better beer

Jays!

Nice Poll-quite difficult to choose, love MFH Ged, TFE for the new Freddy approach huge respect for VT getting back in the studio after tragedy, and Rio 3 massive out of this world shows, and R30 summed everything up (resist,and new polished drum solo etc ) I feel that overall Neils projects both written and recorded dont get enough love during this time frame vs what he went through to get back on the horse . Most humans could not endure what he went through and continue on in legendary style the way he could . So my 1st vote is for neils projects without a doubt

that was hard - 2 totally different vibes BM has so much more going on instrumentally and is a side 1 1st song album starter with a video . They started concerts with this one too and is the more powerful song NWM has been around longer and has a great reggae groove - short- to the point I always enjoy hearing it every time it comes on -since 82 - for that-i voted for it

well said ged as always

Back in 82' everyone thought this album would be a 3rd continuation of work similar to PeW and MP, and ESL in the mix . Nobody expected nor was prepared the change in direction that came out with Signals . IMO It was the biggest shift in gears they ever went through, and the defining moment of what yet to come . Along came the haters , mixed fan base reviews, and the other 40%-50% who knows that embraced it . All you had to do was listen to the 1st track of Signals which is certainly in the top 3,5,or 10 of their entire library of songs and that tells the story After the dust settled about a year or so later everyone started to appreciate the potential was endless for what these guys create and Signals was, and still is, a great album. Another change in direction with GUP followed soon after in 84 I remember back then in High school being a huge Rush Nutter - still am.) finding myself defending the shit out of Signals and myself for being the die hard fan on a continuous basis when all all your hard rockin buddies would say how good Rush used to be but this album is not like the others or Rush's best albums are the older ones-they're done- What happened to your favorite band . ( Im sure some people here did the same.lol). For some reason it became personal because I really liked the album and the technical aspects of the music especially starting out as a drummer back then . The article above is way to harsh. I think most people were to harsh on this Signals topic back then. It was a lack of understanding of the material for the masses maybe? Signals is and will always be top 3 for me, and has amazing tracks-proven to be a bold move by the band to expand talents and ideas . A perfectly timed follow up to their flagship album MP . In Signals, The Red Tamas rule- and another example of the stars aligning once again in Morin Heights.

LOL "10 bucks is 10 buck" (says geddy to Bob & Doug)

The way this poll goes, Way to hard to rank 1 No way in hell to rank # 2 properly, 3 and 4 no problem 1: tie : Hem & AFTK - No way to pick winner 2: tie: PeW, MP, Sig, ESL- No way to pick winner - to much to weigh here 3: CP 4: CA

MP -the stars alligned in Morin heights

I had a super delux edition pizza with Andy Curran once on the monkey bars in High school ..

The refs can look at the leafs ,tampa can look at the leafs , we can look at the leafs and the leafs can look at the leafs .... Unfortunately, they will again lose another 1st round playoff round and be out . and so on, and so on.. Not that I want this to happen but oh god- It will..

Under the Volcano Documentary. Man ,Monserrat rocked.. Arguably some of the best material ever came out of there. God bless the SSLs. Monserrat & LeStudio will never be replicated again technology, quality, tranquility, ambience, relaxation, a perfect mix for many of the best hits, albums ever to be recorded
