bathory Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 assuming in this scenario I'm not allowed to stream the other rush material, I'd go for the most variety without sacrificing quality. hemispheres, moving pictures, and grace under pressure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 hemispheres is good enough that it makes COS, 2112, and AFTK seem clunky and amateur in comparison, although I would definitely miss those records 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I want to include 2112, but I'd be leaving out one of my top 3 albums to do it, plus Signals which I always overlook until I listen to it and remember why its my #4. How about I go with the deluxe anniversary boxset editions of AFTK and PeW, plus the regular old version of MP for the time being, thus getting a lot of extra goodies in the form of live tracks on the deluxe versions?? This is a really impossible task you know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherman Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hold Your FireVapor TrailsFeedbackThis is a joke, right?Oh man, I considered HYF, yes I did.Ged's voice was in top form, and probably with his best melodies, ever, bar none.But I can't quite get onboard with some of the synths. It makes my top 5, for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 My choices are... All the World's a Stage / A Farewell to Kings / Hemispheres I discovered Rush in 1977 when I purchased "A Farewell to Kings" when it was first released at a record store at the Shoppingtown Mall in Dewitt, New York. I all happened quite by accident actually. .For some reason we didn't have school that day and my friend John N. and I hitch-hiked to the mall. We saw these two girls in the record store and I started talking to one who was holding "A Farewell to Kings", which had just been released. My friend, John, walks up and says, "Aw, man, Rush sucks...Geddy Lee sings like a girl". I grab a copy from the bin and say, "No, they're great dude, I'm getting this". Mind you, I've never heard one note of their music that I can recall before that. So, I buy the record, just to impress my new friend. After spending the day with our new girlfriends, John and I hitch-hike back home. We smoked a joint and headed to John's where we spun the new Rush album. Our little 14 year minds were simply blown by what we heard that day. (I would like to state for the record that John became the biggest Rush fan that day). I picked up "All the World's a Stage" the very next day with money I managed to scrape together, borrowing the rest from my sister. I played those records over and over and over and over again. Then it happened, 18 November 1977... ...Rush came to the War Memorial in Syracuse, New York, where I lived.. 3 friends, Mike L., Jeff P. and Jamie M. and I got tickets (each of us telling our parents that we were sleeping at one another's houses) and off we went to the big rock show. This was only my second concert, the first being KISS a few months earlier. That was it, I was a full-fledged Rush fanatic and there was no turning back. I completed my collection quickly by adding "2112" a week later with my paper route money, adding the first three as soon I could thereafter. Less than a year later, "Hemispheres" was released and I got to see them on that tour as well. Ah, life of the rock and roll kid. Looking back, I can see what that was not only was it a pivotal time for them, it was for me as well. The perfect band at the perfect time...more than nostalgia, but rather a most magical part of my life's soundtrack. :goodone: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 After a minor chocolate based distraction ... back on topic .... Tricky to reduce it to three as it means I will have to leave Permanent Waves behind.So my three are - Simply because it is my favourite Rush album Combining great complexity with cracking good songs A very consistent album all round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cadbury you typically see in the United States is manufactured by Hershey. I've found "real" Cadbury in the city at a place called Tea and Sympathy. Home | Tea & Sympathy (teaandsympathy.com) They do carry some "real" Cadbury at World Market stores here. The difference in taste is night and day, with the the "true" Cadbury being heads and shoulders above the United States version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right - the Lion Bar is nowhere near as nice as the mighty Picnic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
