QUOTE (drbirdsong @ Sep 19 2011, 11:46 PM) The overwhelming consensus seems to be that Dog Years is the worse song that Rush ever did. I always thought it was I Think I'm Going Bald. I actually like the first one and cringe a bit at the second. What do you think? And, oh yeah, please feel free to chime in on your own worse choice. I love those two songs! I think Rivendell and Heresy are the only songs I ever skip when it comes up in the shuffle.

I'll bite since i am guilty of being a long time lurker. 1) Counterparts - It's the album that got me in to Rush and it has remained my favorite album even after heavy listening of every album in the catalog. I will always remember falling asleep with the headphones in my ear and having the vocals on Double Agent literally scare the crap out of me. From Double Agent and Stick it Out to the lyrics of Nobody's Hero and Everyday Glory this album will always hold the top spot in my heart. 2) Power Windows - I have to give this one the nod for #2 strictly because of Manhattan Project. 3) Hemispheres 4) Roll the Bones - yea I know everyone on here seems to not be able to stand the rap in RtB, but dammit it's different and I love it! 5) Grace Under Pressure - Enemy Within and Between the Wheels. I used to not really like this album but every time a song came up on shuffle I found myself singing along.

Floor 1 Stage Geddy!!

I'd be curious to know the ages of those who think the set list sucks compared to those who love the set list. I for one LOVE what they have except for maybe 2112/Temples and TSOR (just overplayed to me since '97), but I still love the songs in concert. I also love the mixture of new and old. Seems pretty balanced to me. As always. It will be a KICK ASS Rush show no matter what they play! I am 31.
