I'd vote "neither is silly."

First band that came to mind was Genesis, that show would be amazing--though for many reasons it won't ever happen, so I will just imagine the show that could've been

It was tough, but went with Xanadu.

Like a rare and precious metal, beneath a ton of rock...I separated Grand Designs from the stock

The fact that S&A has 3 songs yet Fly By Night, Caress Of Steel, Grace Under Pressure, Roll The Bones, Test For Echo, and Vapor Trails don't even get touched ticked me off. So to compensate for at least some of those albums, I'd put in Test for Echo and Dreamline.dreamline??...
Well I wanted to get the Roll the Bones album in there somehow--the only logical choices they would play anymore though would be Dreamline, Bravado, Roll the Bones and Ghost of a Chance. Scratching Bravado and GOAC (to maintain a more upbeat tempo) and it was a toss up between the remaining two.

So everyone complains about the production of Presto, RTB and VT, and when one of those three is going to be remastered, it's still not good enough?
-
It's been pretty easy voting for me as long as The Camera Eye is around.
-
Because people have their head up their arse when it comes to the synth era. Geddy's bass playing was arguably at it's peak during that time, but people are so busy moping over the fact that there's an additional instrument that they never bother to notice.

Who the F is she ? What is your problem? If you don't know who she is then there are two logical responses: a) Don't post in a thread that is ABOUT her or b) Take three seconds to look up who she is. Your sarcastic, bitter reply could ONLY serve to upset someone.

Jeez, you just cut their output by half (maybe not literally, but sheesh!). You think RTB would have been better as a 7 song album? TFE a 5 song album? It's not even a case of the songs made the album a little too long, you just flat out dropped the songs you didn't like (or thought were horribly placed)! And out of all of that, the two albums that are most deserving of being cut down significantly (VT and S&A) you only drop one song from each

I am ecstatic to be posting in a thread where Power Windows is getting the love it deserves.

QUOTE (An Enemy Without @ Jun 14 2011, 09:59 PM) So far, the voting is going EXACTLY how I expected. Most of the votes are among the bottom half of the list; the newer songs. It seems "old Rush good, new Rush bad" is still the philosophy most of us share.
If by "old" Rush, you mean everything before Moving Pictures, then that seems to be the forum consensus when it comes to these sort of polls/questions. I would be amazed if LVS or Xanadu doesn't win (even though I'll be voting against them 'till Kingdom Come).

QUOTE (Rushman14 @ Jun 10 2011, 01:03 PM) the tune is rockin but I cant help but get douche chills when Geddy sings "for you and me, sex is not a competition".
plus isn't "you and me" bad grammar?Well in all fairness, he does use "you and I" in the verses. I suppose the "you and me" represents the casual talk between a couple--for the most part people don't follow grammatical rules like that in everyday conversation, so maybe the lyrics represent that?
Funnily enough, I think the "sex is not a competition" line is one of the finer lines in the song. At first I took it to mean "intercourse" and thought it was Neil trying to be dirty. Then I realized it meant "gender" and the line took on a whole new meaning...
...the "we'd elect each other president" line is pretty bad though, I can't salvage a deeper meaning out of that
-
Let's not sugarcoat things, there were plenty of moments throughout the show where Geddy was a tad cringe-inducing vocally. The "each of us" part in Freewill and the "first you need..." part in Marathon come to mind immediately. Maybe it's the fact that Geddy's voice seems to be higher in the mix than anything else, but it still makes me wonder if there's anything he can do to not have to strain and hit the falsetto so much.

I don't even really regard it as a Rush album. On one hand I'm thankful that they didn't try to intersperse the songs into an album of original material. On the other hand there's really no reason for them to have even done the album in the first place--covers albums really scream a lack of creativity to me. None of the songs on the EP grab me and I don't think I'd ever outright listen to the album in it's entirety.
-
The only songs off the album I really don't like are Heresy and You Bet Your Life. The rest range from good to great in my opinion.

You certainly must have the record for most Rush references in a single username
