@}~boosh~{@ Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I've heard of the band but really havent sat down and listened to any Rush music....until a few weeks ago when my good friend came down to visit me and my wife. She popped in a dvd of the Rush concert Snakes and Arrows and omg was I blown away. These guys are awesome!!!! I just want to listen to more now from the very first album on. Are there any recommended songs/albums that anyone would like to get me hooked on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get the same, ahem, rush, every time I find one! listen...we're a bunch of die hards and even we cant agree what's the best, the worst, the rockin-est, the keyboard-iest...and most of us would never presume to tell you where to start. All I can say is, welcome to the fold, and enjoy your discovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Seeker Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 All this is true, most of us feel you can't go wrong with any Rush, but as you will soon find out, choosing can be daunting. Get Moving Pictures - buy it, don't borrow it - it will save you time and you won't be tempted to pirate it (integrity is one of the commandments of being a Rush fan ) Borrow or buy the Snakes and Arrows Live DVD. From there, you are not on your own. Come back often and enjoy the ride!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Start from the beginning and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tel Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 forget vapor trails and test for echo,for a virgin like yourself you may find these hard to dig. Start with moving pictures,farewell to kings and permanent waves,you may find the debut and fly by night a bit "raw" also for a live album may i recommend different stages. enjoy your time at trf.

coolphantom190 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 All of the studio albums, live albums, and dvds are amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerInstinct Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 i started with Rush GOLD and from then on... you get the point. has their best from most albums for live albums, start with either Rush in Rio or Different Stages. They both have some rare stuff that won't appear in "best of" collections. spread out from there, i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMWriter Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Welcome aboard to the wonderful ride that is being a Rush fan. It's a little insane at times, but hang on tight and you'll be able to stick it out. ;3 Um.. Let's see... I'd recommend listening to all the albums (you can find every song on Youtube, I guarantee it); at least one or two songs from each. There's such a wide variety of songs and styles they've done, generally changing every several years, but you get a variety per album too. I personally started with Moving Pictures and Power Windows, then went straight into Snakes and Arrows (that was a shocking change for me, lol; for a little bit I doubted it was the same band) and then to all the other albums (in the general order of Permanent Waves, 2112, Signals, Fly By Night, Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, and then jumped to Grace Under Pressure and worked my way forwards from there). '70's were more of the heavy rock/metal kind of feel in many of the songs, '80's were the synths era, and '90's... Um.. I'm not sure how to describe it, but a lot less of the keys. Maybe check out their live albums and videos of performances on Youtube, too. It's total epic-sauce. Many of their best moments have been not in the studio, but on the lighted stage! Good luck, and godspeed. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Permanent Waves; Rush transitioning into shorter song formats, plenty of musical asskickery, varied styles and cool lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves, some of the best albums ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Enemy Without Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 You pretty much have to start with the popular, catchy, well-known stuff (Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio etc.) From there, 2112 (definitely), Hemispheres, and A Farewell to Kings are must-haves. Other than that, you'll have to find out for yourself. Some songs you will have to listen to a couple times to really "get" them. They're not bad, they just take getting used to (Jacob's Ladder for one). But really, start with the stuff that everybody knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
