That rant wasn't directed at anyone in particular, it was just me being frustrated with all the guitar snobs who think that synth has no place in rock music and that all rock music should be hard rocking guitar only. I love synth, and I especially love synth in Rush songs. Power Windows is my favorite Rush album because of the fact that it's so synth heavy. As for Alex's guitar being shoved to the back in those synth heavy songs, I disagree, Power Windows has some of Alex's best solos i.e. Emotion Detector, The Big Money, Middletown Dreams. The same can be said about Geddy's bass parts on the album, I think PW has some of Geddy's most dynamic and interesting bass lines. This rant wasn't only about Rush either; I'm sick of hearing things like "AC/DC is so awesome, they rock so much!" I think AC/DC is the perhaps the worst band I have ever heard in my life. Every single song they have written sounds exactly the same. They all have the same chords, same riffs, same drum beats, and same vocals. Even when they got a new vocalist, the vocals sounded the same. I keep hearing songs from their new album on the classic rock station and sound just like the shit from their old albums. There was a guy who wrote into the radio station about the recent AC/DC concert and said something like "they didn't need to keep changing guitars throughout the show like some bands do, they used the same guitars all night." They don't need to change guitars because all of their songs are in the same damn key, the key of suck major.

Why does everyone seem to think that every single goddamned album in the world has to have the "hard rock kick-ass rock your face off overdriven to the point that you can't make out any notes guitar turned up to 11 synths aren't rockin' enough" sound to them? Every single complaint I see about Presto and Roll the Bones is "They don't rock enough" or "the guitar isn't hard enough." Same things with Hold Your Fire and Power Windows: "there's too much synth." I'm sick of it, why the hell does everything have to be about guitars? Sure, guitar is great in music, but not all music has to have a dominant guitar part. Why can't people appreciate the music for what it is and stop bitching about what it isn't?

Territories?

Is it The Omega Concern?

Is it Manhattan Project?

How many letters in the title?

Which album is it from?

Which decade is it from?

QUOTE (Choose/the/light @ Mar 10 2008, 09:15 PM) "I've got a bike you can ride it if you like- its got a basket..." blah blah blah - name that song Bike by Pink Floyd, from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn." But I don't think that's the answer to the topic at hand.

Yes, it is indeed "Turn the Page." I don't know who's turn it is now since you both were right...

QUOTE is it the "what the heck is this huge thing" song? Yeah, part 5 of the Gangster of Boats Trilogy. This might be a bit difficult as it's hard to tell what the thing in the picture is...I'll give a couple hints if no one gets it soon.

Distant Early Warning "The world weighs on my shoulders"

How about "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" from the '88 album "Sur La Mer?" Oh, and since you had a little trouble with my name last time, you can just call me John, much easier to figure out how to pronounce that one.

Correct! Your turn
