Good,bad,andrush Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 A great album. I think we take it for granted sometimes. Just because it is the most "popular" some of us are turned off by it. I used to be this way. But then I realized that every song on it is a gem. And now I love it.

With alot of bands, most of the time their "most popular" album is almost never their "Best" or even among their best.... Rush dosen't follow this rule.... Moving Pictures is among the best of Rush albums, not my personal best or my personal favorite..... but Rush has probably most of their fans to thank because of this album.... and for many here this was their first foray into Rush.

CMWriter Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Listened to this album way too much when I was getting into Rush and so now I can only listen to it once in a great while... |D But today'll be one of those days! Wow, thirty years... Almost exactly twelve years older than me. (If the release had been 2/15, me being a Rush fan would've been fate or something.

IChoseFreeWill Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I was 3 years old back then. I am 33 now. I listened to Limelight this morning It is my fave song in Moving Pictures, and an extremely close second (if not sometimes neck to neck) for absolute fave Rush song to Freewill.

rushgoober Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I became a fan because of MP. It had come out recently and they played the songs from side one on the radio CONSTANTLY. I was immediately hooked for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnals Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Props to the album that made me a lifelong fan! Still sounds as fresh as the day I first heard it back in the summer of '82. When I first heard Tom Sawyer and the drumming on it (as I was just taking up the traps), I got scared. First time I ever heard such monstrous playing!

1 of the 7 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Happy Anniversary MP! I was eight years old I remember seeing Rush and especially Geddy for the first time when Limelight was on MTV a few years later...I wish I hadn't waited so long to know enough to celebrate this anniversary, but I'm psyched it'll be the first of many times I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
