Agreed. For me Natti Sci and Xanadu are neck and neck for being the quintessential Rush song.

Concert toms are for chumps!! Sincerely, Sussudio!

But...but...would tone deafness matter to atonality? Tone deaf has to do with someone being unable to perceive pitch, atonal means not written in any key or mode. So... I dunno. Still results in discordant crap. More discordant atonality!!

Pre-plastic Nicole all day. But that Kate is a classy broad...I'd toss a couple of Big Macs down her throat and shag six ways to Sunday being the gentleman that I am.

Fück me dead! I love both of these songs...I guess I gotta go with DEW. Alex's solo on Marathon is pretty kick ass but DEW it is!

Inbred hilljacks must all be cannibals according to b movie horror flicks.

I think The Police are perfectly rated. Neither over nor under.

I see what you did there.

Yeah, uh, well...it has its moments but it also has a lot of warbling Geddy Lee Chorale Experience...of which I'm not a fan. Nick R. pushed Geddy to sing way too high a lot on the last 2 albums. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn't.

Neil's drums sound like mud on this album. DW + coated heads = shitty sound just like on VT.

SRV was a force of nature...and his death was proof we live in a cold, godless, pitiless universe: Kenny G & Michael Bolton are still alive and SRV is dead. What more proof do we need? I love Beck but SRV moves my soul and waxes chumps like a candle.

Suck

Highway to Hell by a mile. Classic, classic album from start to finish.

Put down the pipe and step away from the keyboard.

Uh...Chrome...

Kelly Keagy always does a helluva job at one of the hardest things ever: singing and playing drums. I never could play and sing at the same time. Sincerely, Phil Collins and Levon Helm

I hate Presto. If it was their debut album it'd be a long time before I ever listened to them again.

Bing cherries!

Word up! I thought there was tons of energy when I saw them in Cincinnati. Agree about the set list. Epic.

No rap for the win. Plus Middletown dreams is awesome, RTB is, well, RTB.

Kind of Blue is damn close to a perfect album if it isn't.

HYF played "4 on the floor" would be interesting to hear. Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! Friends, TRFers, countrymen. These are the times that try men's souls! It is the best of times it is the time to play Hold Your Fire drums with a minimalist, in-the-pocket, Al Jackson, Jim Keltner-esque approach. I hereby decree a challenge! One of you...yes you!...shall make a YouTube vid of one song from HYF played as specified above. Said video shall be posted for public consumption, amusement and bewilderment. So let it be written. So let it be done. Verily! I do not have a kit any longer or surely I would submit myself to this grand inquisition. Brace yourselves. Vids are coming.

So bring me the blood and red wine for the ones to succeed them For they are men and gods - and they will die too. True, the boys are merely mortal men and will pass away, however the music will live on until the Earth is either destroyed or our sun dies. BTW...as our sun ages and begins to die it will become a red giant where it will expand and reduce all life on earth to dust & ashes. So in the end, nothing really matters, anyone can see...nothing really matters...to meeeeeeee! Hahahaha! You are on fire like the Earth one day! Now you are laying down some QUEEN! You know your "Astronomy" buddy! I thought the sun would burn out and the planet would turn into a permanent ICE CUBE. RED GIANT sounds like a killer name for a prog band! Thanks! LOL! Oh and yes, I quoted "Astronomy" as homage to Blue Oyster Cult!! After becoming a red giant the sun will eventually burn itself out to a white dwarf...that's where our charred husks will become ice blocks...eventually it will become a black dwarf which is, oddly enough also a Norwegian black metal band made up of altitude-challenged members. Midgets & corpse paint = sorta awesome.
