(are we the same person????) ...check the pinned 'Best Song' polls, ED - I'm finding (without looking at your posts 1st) that you and I are pretty much in 100% agreement across every album that's a lot of songs! (we'll just 'flip it' for PeW) FREEWILL This could almost be a tie, as NATURAL SCIENCE is also a flawless track, and one of my all-time favorite Rush songs! I'm thinking me too, this album is tough to narrow down. i have natural science in my head, so will go with that, however the entire album rocks- love freewill, especially the instrumental middle. candy store. can't pick. ok i'll take the album. when the ebbing tide retreats... ...but there are times for you and me when all such things agree. kicked in the face, you can pray for a place, in heaven's unearthly escape.
  6. XANADU, without a doubt. imagine my surprise when i applied to a college with a XAN sorority!! pledged them of course....
  7. I voted La Villa - just listened to it today - studio version. thinking how it is fun to hear them in the form where i fell in love with every note..

[/quote] You had to sit right in front of the stereo, waiting for them to announce the song, hold your tape player up to the speaker, and hit the play and record buttons at the same time, at the exact moment the song started to get it taped correctly. If I still had all of those old tapes they would contain great music with the first few seconds of every song missing and half of the next song or a commercial at the end. OMG how many times did we have to QUICK be ready with the 'play' and 'record' buttons, and wishing the stupid DJ would SHUT UP because you wanted the song - not some schmoe trailing into The Trees with '... bla bla on WYSL'..... always the tinny sound with the big 'chunk' at the end when you stopped - unless you were slick and had a 'pause' button or the tiny transistor radio with the long antenna.... or someone walking in to ask you about your homework while you were trying to record

Fantastic looking. OK, i'll help you girls get over the 300 mark, as i am a new Alex fan (old Rush fan) always a Ged fan, but lately ( as my tickets have been placing me in front of Alex,) have a new crush. diggin the seasoned Alex.... grandpa.. KG, your signature is exactly how he looks when looking out to the audience - especially when one is close so, cheers to Alex, the most talented guitarist ever!! one who can make a heart melt with a few well placed chords Another Alex fan! Welcome! I LOVE how Alex is looking these days. I think right now, he is pretty hot. Gorgeous face, amazing body, extremely talented and goofy! yah der, totally diggin the older Alex. sadly never paid any attention to him in the past except for the music. but now. jeez even caught a little eye contact at the last show - that did it. fantasies of singing resist while sitting on the floor on stage between them is it hot in here? new appreciation for all the instrumentals on each album thanks girls for holding up the Alex end of things... and providing the awesome pics. as you can see i can't even make a signature

Yeah, it was cool. f*cker. Best I can remember... My ticket for Moving Pictures tour was $9.50, and I got front row, center for Power Windows for $40. Those were the days... right? my moving picture tic was also $9.50, and that was in the 'gold section' if only i could find my tiny baseball style MP shirt! damn!! boy, i'd photoshop my ticket if i could figure out how to make a flippin signature!! of course growing up, looking at the covers while listenting to the album, reading every credit and lyric. used to tent my album cover over the speakers while lying on the basement floor with my head between them - no ipods with bose headphones for us, boy!! my hemispheres album is RED VINYL - bought it in Toronto on a school field trip - imigine my surprise when I opened it! remember the pain in the *ss paper sleeve that held the album? yep, a long and privileged ride with some of the most incredible musicians of out time.
  12. you join the chi alpha nu sorority in college as a tribute to a favorite song (XAN, yes i did) funny, they didn't know who Kubla Khan was....
  13. hardcore for 28 years. visions of myself lying on the floor with my head between the speakers playing my red vinyl album of hemispheres (i bought in toronto on a school field trip) over and over.... defending Geddy's screeching vocals in 2112, air drumming the runs of Tom Sawyer ( when it was original and cool) ...playing permanent waves til it wore out with scratches, joining my sorority -XAN in college in tribute to one of my favorites yeah, hard core
