EagleMoon Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 10, 10, 1. And Dog Years only gets a 1 because -1,000,000 wasn't a poll option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 10 10 10 thinking about it now, DY reminds me very much of the analog kid which, for a few years after signals release, i kinda disliked for some reason.. that speedy riff thing didnt really agree with me and i even found it a bit immature for the band. Of course years later, especially now, the analog kid settled into a groove in my head and became one of my all-time rush favs, as has dog years in exactly the same way. DY has the same speedy riff and everything else about it that the analog kid had, thus taking years for it to sink into my head as one of the greats. Sometimes this great band have taken evolutionary steps just slightly too far ahead for me and it's taken a while to catch up. I think thats the main reason i'm a total rush head to be honest, they're the only real band of the great ones that have taken steps too far for me at every stage of their career, making me wonder & doubt, then much later i've realised how cool they were just being. Yep dog years gets a big 10/10 from me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 9, 10, 8. I'll never understand the hate for Dog Years. I quietly love the song...but in the real world it is a very silly song and to give it a high rating to place it just beneath a song like Limelight or Xanadu is just ridiculous. It is what it is, a silly song but nothing more, nothing less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly a perfect pile of shit...Analog Kid is infinitely better IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yeah, like i said, for years i regarded it as pretty silly too, until much later when i kinda realised the superficial goofiness of the song was a deliberate tactic to emphasize a deeper meaning to the track i havent figured out myself yet, so i just enjoy the goofiness :) i especially like the sound of Al during the segment 'I'd rather be a tortoise from galapagos..

lifeson90 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 ...The only rush tracks that dont get 10/10 from me are about 4 or 5 like the wreckers & halo effect from CA and maybe a couple like spindrift from S&A. all the rest, from every single album, including dog years, get full marks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
