toymaker Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Some folks loves ham hocks, and some folks loves pork chops, and some folks loves vegetable soup . . . (name that tune)The Speed Of Love?...Close. Different band, though. Almost as awesome as Rush.Yes?... :)Someone'll know it. A related theme - also about the speed of love, especially "after the show"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex has some fantastically beautiful guitar work on it, Neil and Geddy are locked into a nice groove, and Geddy sings gorgeously 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I could find was that one of the lines of the lyrics was good (namely "we don't have to..."). Is there any other reason? EDIT: DISCLAIMER: This was posted before I saw GSP's comment.

Spaghetti Lee Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Some folks loves ham hocks, and some folks loves pork chops, and some folks loves vegetable soup . . . (name that tune) Man this is a WEIRD ass coincidence!!! Years ago in the 90's, I used to make mixtapes for a friend of mine on cassette. I would always include all kinds of crap, sometimes little 3 second snippets of songs all combined together in some sort of aural collage. As time went by, once he got the ability to do so, he made mixdiscs for me on cd; later on we moved to minidiscs as the cds would quickly stop playing. Anyhoo, when he was in high school learning bass, he had a cassette that had the little bass solos from "YYZ" repeated over and over (this was a bitch to do back then). Well, apparently back in the 80's he was experimenting making one of these sound collages and he had all kinds of stuff mixed together that repeated, like those bass solos, Geddy singing "life is" over and over and over again really fast from "I Think I'm Going Bald" with a bunch of other 2-3 second long clips of crap between different things. One of the the little clips was those exact lyrics above: "Some folks love ham hocks, and some folks love pork chops" before morphing into another little Geddy bass solo. Mind you, none of this was edited well together; that wasn't the point. I didn't hear this little collage of clips at the time, but years later in the early 2000's he made a mixdisc for me and one of the things on the disc was that little sound collage. I've ALWAYS associated that little hamhocks clip (and all the little musical gumbo contained therein) with Rush just because it was part of that clip, but neither of the two have EVER come up in conversation ANYWHERE together except for that aural collage clip from the 80's!!! Imagine my shock and surprise when not just the song from which it came, BUT THE EXACT SAME PART OF THE SONG came up on a RUSH forum of all places all these years later!!! However... Somewhere a yak has died in honor of this historical coincidental occurrence. For, the death of said yak can only happen when "The Speed of Suck" and "Available S***" are played simultaneously in both Aliquippa, Pennsylvania and Gibson, Louisiana on minidisc. Oh don't give a dose...to the one you love most...give her some marmalade, give her some toast. Thank you, Dr. Hook!!! ...and Roland!!! ...and Gertrude!!! :baabaa: :baabaa: :baabaa: :baabaa: :baabaa: :baabaa: Edited July 24, 2014 by Spaghetti Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm trying to remember that everyone has a right to his or her opinion, and I need to respect that. We are each unique individuals, and all of our rich experiences have led us to where we are and influence what moves us. But . . . to shit on Hemispheres? That is just f*ckin' cracked. http://static.fjcdn.com/gifs/look_ddad43_544313.gifI finally broke free . . . I've been staring at this thing since it was posted . . .

Pause Rewind Replay Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) This turned out to be relatively easy, because there are only about 10 :rush: songs that I actively dislike and find painful to listen to: In The EndRivendellFountain Of LamnethNecromancerI Think I'm Boing BaldTearsMadrigalTai ShanHeresySpindrift And I am including the debut album. Everything on it is better than the above 10 clunkers. P.S. Hey bluefox4000... if you think you got ripped for disliking Hemispheres, wait until the CoS vigilantes come after me :outtahere: Edited July 24, 2014 by Pause Rewind Replay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for me, the smooth vocal line and the break from full on rock. I love the way DA follows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ok, thought I would play a single track off RTB in isolation, not one of the accepted good ones, but instead You Bet On Your Life. A horrible song! Like, really not good at all! So bland I could pass out. I kinda feel bad lumping Hemispheres in the same category as this, as I really like that song in comparison. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
