_hi_water._ Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This was so hard to pick...one epic song from the 1970's vs. one epic song from the 1980's. Mmmmmm.....no. Both 70s.Released: 1980Natural Science is an 80's song cuz it was released in 1980. End of discussion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush started writing the songs in July 1979, recorded them in late September and October, and mixed the album in November . . . 1979. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not my place to tell anyone what their home's history is, lol. I can imagine how that would get pretty insufferable. No the couple times I've visited I like to think I was pretty benevolent, walking around taking pictures, drawing, reading, learning, listening, and buying plenty. I definitely got a bit of a history lesson on a bus from Dublin to the Cliffs Of Moher last time I was there, and it was a long and complicated sounding history indeed. At the time the tour guide was rather concerned about Brexit possibly affecting the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. I think I've read since then that it got worked out alright? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
