LADYice Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (Kenneth @ Jul 30 2010, 10:30 PM) Neurotica Hey that song is in my top ten fave Rush songs of all time (i can hear you all laughing lol). Before i went out today i was going to post my guilty song and thought - no its too bad. I'll see if anyone else mentions it first - to my amazement i see there are quite a few of you out there that also secretly likes Superconductor!!!!!!

That song seriously has some of Gedd's best basswork. And the drumming is simply addictive. Probably one of the songs I like more on P/G (and I love the whole album).

The fade out at the end of Red Lenses is one of my favorite parts of Ged's. That groove he busts into is classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's taken from a Mel Brooks movie, Blazing Saddles. The main character presents another character, Mongo, a big, brute-like idiot, with a candygram to distract him from terrorizing the people in the town. When presenting it, the main character repeatedly says "Candygram for Mongo!", hence the title of the song. I always found that funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlyJeff Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I used to think it was "losing it" until I found out that apparently other people liked it too. I suppose the songs I love that are most hated are Tears RtB (the whole album, rap and all) HYF (the whole album including Tai Shan and High Water) The Larger Bowl Scars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarcaravan Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I will admit that Tai Shan and High Water are my most listened songs off of HYF. I know a lot of people don't favor these songs but I think they close HYF just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logsdon Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Proudly MADRIGAL When the dragons grow too mighty To slay with pen or sword I grow weary of the battle And the storm I walk toward When all around is madness And there's no safe port in view I long to turn my path homeward To stop a while with you When life becomes as barren And as cold as winter skies There's a beacon in the darkness In a distant pair of eyes In vain to search for honor In vain to search for truth But these things can still be given Your love has shown me proof Young and ambitious Over booked and underslept Had to fight for everything from plumbing in a dressing room IF you got one to keeping the drunks from stomping your expensive equipment before you got on stage. Lousy weather, lousy food, rumbling gut, sore throats and vehicular failure. Words failed and sometimes it looked like it was going to turn to fists to get what was right there in writing. There's no honor in the music business... but there are a lot of f'n salesmen. Yeah, we are big boys now, REAL musicians... but it sure would be nice to be home with loving arms around you for just a little while. Neil can make even road-rage despair sound pretty.

drgrendel Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 "Here Again" - cannot get that tune out of my head and so many overlook the greatness of their first album. "Working Man" is what most will remember from their debut. Of course "In the Mood" was an encore tune for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Don't Tell Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 My guilty pleasure Rush song is You Bet Your Life. Fantastic song. Truly underrated and gets bashed relentlessly. Another one would be Tai Shan. Even though many fans don't like it -- hell even Geddy said he didn't like it! -- I like it. Very good song, just a deviation from their usual style. But hey, everybody's got to deviate/elevate/evelate/emancipate from the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Slipperman Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I think Tai Shan and High Water are really excellent, well-written, emotional tunes. Most everyone else seems to dislike or hate 'em. Oh well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvisibleAirwaves13 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I am gonna throw Tai Shan out there too. I have always liked the song and had no idea so many RUSH fans were down on it. It is very well done and I can almost see in my minds eye, the landscape reaching to the eastern sea...that in my book makes it a great song. It is "different" though.

xXDreamlinerXx Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I LOVE High Water. Easily one of my faves offa HYF. Honestly, there isn't much Rush material that I don't like. I love every minute of Roll The Bones and their other 90's material. Not because it's Rush and I have to accept every little thing they put out. Far from it. Every album they put out I can connect with, but in a completely different way than the next. Another testiment to the versitility and greatness of Rush.
