The Owl Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I would make a poll out of this if I had a full list of Rush songs that did... but for all the lovers of what is probably the only instrument to be associated with the genera of Progressive rock exclusively... what Rush track do you fell does this wonderful instrument the best justice? Ill garner my opinions and report back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Is there really any other choice than Tears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowItIs Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I thought of both of those. Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 There is no mellontron on Madrigal. Album credits list mini moog and bass pedal synthesizer for Geddy. I'm not sure there is one on Tears either. The credits for 2112 just say "keyboards" for Hugh Syme on that one. The only song I know for certain that contains a mellotron is Faithless.

Mr. Not Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was surprised to see 2112 was played on a mellotron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't argue with the Goober. I agree. "Tears" for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (Planet Mellotron)However, it isn't the album's centrepiece that concerns us here, but a rather inconsequential ballad on side 2, Tears.

rushgoober Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I did a three-part mellotron radio show featuring songs that included mellotron. the only rush song i played is tears, as that's the only song where they have any appreciable mellotron. the mellotron on S&A is the slimmest of window dressing.
