ok this is kinda complicated..... - So the first letter is "A", so you think of a song title by Rush that starts with "A", I chose "Available Light", so I put that as one of the songs. - The next letter is "B" - BU2B, so I will put "available light" and "BU2B" as the songs to choose from. Available Light or BU2B - let's say someone chose available light, the person who chose it would have to put another song that starts with B or if there is no other song that starts with B, move onto the next letter which would be "C". - so the next person would put something like this Available light By-tor and the snow dog - as an example, lets jump to later in the game Far Cry Grand designs - someone chooses Far Cry - lets pretend Grand designs is the last song in the Letter G category - the next letter after G is H - The person chose Heresy - so the choices would be Far Cry and Heresy - also you have to use all the songs in the chosen letter before moving onto the next letter - also to make it less confusing, lets say no other songs with the same letter as the first choice so None of this: Lock and Key Lakeside Park - another explanation is: animate best I can -someone chose best I can over animate < - the person who chose would put another song in the letter "a" category since its not the last one < Vise Versa - so the person would put: < Alien Shore Best I Can Vise versa of This example: animate best i can -someone chose animate over best i can - the person who chose would put another song that started with B since its not the last one - so the person would put Animate BU2B Im not too good at explaining this mix of "Rush songs A-YYZ" and "This or That", so feel free to ask questions, anyways I'll start Animate BU2B

There are certainly other albums (possibly by these same bands) which would fit well with those in this poll, but these are the three which I am or have been listening to for the uplifting vibe they give off (at least to me anyway) and for their very 80s pop-minded soundscapes. Commercial sure, but artful nonetheless. So which is your favorite? Yes - 90125 Genesis - Abacab Rush - Hold Your Fire Hoping the forum's Rush bias doesn't become overwhelming considering most folks' general dissatisfaction with HYF, though I'm pretty sure I know what Segue will be voting for, aside from probably also giving me a bunch of other great suggestions. ;) :P

I will be ranking every Rush original studio album. Each track will be rated as follows: Awful, Very Poor, Poor, Below Average, Average, Above Average, Good, Great, Superb Each album will be rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Feel free to give your input on each album and discuss why you like/dislike each album. Please keep it civilized and have fun!

Despite the recent tragedy that destroyed about 2/3's of the complex, this will be a fun topic. Which Le Studio record was your favorite? This could be from Rush or any other artist that recorded there. My favorite is Presto. Love the ambient textures in the album, Rush had some great ideas at the time. May Le Studio's far side rest in peace...
-
I will be posting my reviews of Rush's studio albums. Tell me whether you agree or disagree with my thoughts on each album. Keep in mind I will be posting a rating at the bottom of each linked article, my thoughts have changed since I wrote some of these.

Why, please the gods, do I wake up each morning with a Rush song playing in my head? Or if I haven't slept, still be awake. This morning it's YYZ. It has been recently Natural Science, Bavado, Bastille Day, Roll the Bones, etc. and it has nothing to do with what music I have listened to the previous day, which yesterday ranged from Peter Gabriel, Chris Connell, the Foo Fighters and the Police. My brain's in a Rush rut. It's not unpleasant but it's weird.
-
this is somewhat of a joke topic, but I'll start it "80's or 90's this or that rush song" "roll the bones - present this or that rush song"

Before I got absorbed by Rushmania, I bounced around among a lot of groups. I was never a metal fan except for Deep Purple, early Led Zep, and Def Leppard. The rest were not complicated enough. I collected off-beat bands through the 70's and 80's, from the Cars to Nerfherder to Timbuk3, with Rush a constant. Then I moved to Australia and adopted a lot of Aussie bands from Mondo Rock to Powderfinger to Eskimo Joe. In the 2000's I liked Coldplay and even invested considerable time and effort in seeing them live in Sydney. I've been listening to nothing but Rush for quite a while now and decided to tidy up my iPod to get rid of stuff with no staying power. I listened to Coldplay again and wondered what hell I ever saw (or heard) in them. Yes, some catchy tunes but how simplistic! Where are the weird time signatures and literate lyrics? Too many love songs and nothing about free will or randomness of life or even the birth of the atom bomb. Forgive me Rush for going astray but I'm back forever in your thrall!

As much as I love Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, Snakes and Arrows wins my vote IMO. Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace is probably one of the Foo Fighters' weakest albums. -
Coming to the end of reading Rush and Philosophy by Berti and Bowman, and it has been one very heavy read. Anyone else read this, in some parts it has been like reading Joseph Conrad or something by Steven Hawking?

Alrighty, now's the time for everyone to participate. List your top three favorite artists that aren't Rush, or three of your all time favs that aren't Rush. The bands that have the most mentions after necessary time for posting has passed (and a great deal of posts to work with) will be entered into a new topic with a poll and we'll vote on TRF's favorite band! (That isn't Rush) Here's mine! Queen, Muse, Genesis Let the games... Begin. -

What Rush album do you identify with the most? Meaning, as far as lyrics regarding your situations, feelings of the moment, your story, etc. The one I identify with the most is "Clockwork Angels". I want to travel and see the world, learn new things, be non-conformist from old beliefs (BU2B). I've also learned not to hold grudges against people for bad things they did to me (Wish them Well, even though that song is trashed by fans here), as well as reflection in hoping one day I tell my future children about journey. What about you?

Title is pretty self-explanatory. What's your favorite Rush album? Also, you can rank every Rush album from 1-20 if you prefer (I do!) Sorry if this topic already exists, I looked it up and didn't see it so I decided to create it myself. *EDIT* Feedback isn't technically Rush, so include it if you like but the songs on that track were made by other artists. 19. Presto 18. Caress of Steel 17. Roll the Bones 16. Hold Your Fire 15. Rush 14. Fly By Night 13. Hemispheres 12. 2112 11. Signals 10. Counterparts 9. A Farewell to Kings 8. Moving Pictures 7. Power Windows 6. Grace Under Pressure 5. Permanent Waves 4. Test for Echo 3. Clockwork Angels 2. Snakes & Arrows 1. Vapor Trails

You know the drill: choose one song from each album that received little airplay, isn't appreciated as much as it should, or even isn't played live as much as it should be. Here's my list: Rush: Here Again Fly By Night: Beneath, Between, and Behind Caress of Steel: Fountain of Lamneth 2112: The Twilight Zone A Farewell To Kings: Cinderella Man Hemispheres: Circumstances Permanent Waves: Natural Science Moving Pictures: (Are any of them underrated?) Witch Hunt Signals: Losing It Grace Under Pressure: The Enemy Within Power Windows: Emotion Detector Hold Your Fire: Lock and Key Presto: Superconductor Roll the Bones: Neurotica Counterparts: Cold Fire Test For Echo: Totem Vapor Trails: Freeze Snakes and Arrows: The Way the Wind Blows Clockwork Angels: The Wreckers

A recent photo leak from an anonymous hacker reveals that our idol, Geddy Lee may in fact be biologically female. As to why Geddy has kept this crucial aspect of his life from us is beyond me. This new found evidence begins to answer many of our fundamental questions regarding Geddy's mysteriously high vocal range and luxurious locks. Don't get me wrong, I still love the band, but this changes everything for me. - - - - - - - SCROLL DOWN - - - - - - - - - - - - - (MOD EDIT: removed photoshopped image of Geddy's head on naked female body. The naughty bits were censored, but still too revealing for this board.)

Who was the most progressive of these classic prog rock bands. Inspired by listening to ELP's giant triple live album (you know the one) in rememberance of the astonishing Keith Emerson, and thinking they really might have had the clearest handle on prog rock's traditional ideals, a seamless and authentic blending of jazz, rock, classical, and other genres, with thought provoking and/or fantasy and science fiction lyrics. Now my sig says my answer, and I do stick by it, but Rush were only the most progressive IMO because they progressed beyond the traditional constraints of prog, if that makes sense. At their most traditionally proggy, I think they were only equal in progginess to these other bands. What do you think? And if I missed anyone major, please tell me!
