Could have been worse. :P You should have said no, Its 'Working Man' by Rush. :D Edited September 25, 2014 by troutman 1
Narps Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) My wife knows Rush all to well but quick story along the same lines. When I was in high school in the 70's I worked on a paint crew in the summers. We painted schools and would finish one and move on to another and so forth all summer long. Anyway we always had music going while we were working. I was painting in a multipurpose room by myself and had ATWAS going loudly in all its glory on whatever player I had at the time. I can't remember if it was 8 track or cassette or whatever. Anyway Geddy is singing his buns off in all his youthful glory and its echoing all over the place and a guy a little older than me I work with walks in and says "That sounds awful. Are you listening to Janis Joplin"?..... Edited September 25, 2014 by Narpski 6

There are certain intonations Ged does with his voice on some of the 70s albums that make him sound just a little like Grace Slick to me, lol (only rarely though). And I am a great lover of most of his vocals ;) . Edited September 25, 2014 by geddylennon
Rod in Toronto Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 My wife hates Dream Theater with a passion, but when it comes to Rush she generally likes their songs. I watched the CA Tour DVD with her and she said "it's amazing how well rounded their show is. There's not a weak spot!!". I thought that was kinda cool of her to say. 4

Lost In Xanadu Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 My wife knows Rush, never says anything too off the wall. Most I usually get is "can we listen to something else for a while?" So when we work around the house, I usually have on The Beatles or Sting or something we both like.
x1yyz Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 The hubby is familiar with a lot of Rush although he's not a fan. When they come up on shuffle he sometimes asks, "This is that band you like, isn't it?" But he will leave the room if I play too many songs in a row :( I guess the up side is I only need to buy one ticket for each of the shows I go to, so it costs less 4
robertrobyn Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I was at the computer playing The Garden for the first time and it was cranked up a little. My wife stood in the doorway until it was done and asked me who it was and I said new Rush. She asked me to burn her a copy. I about fell out of my chair when she said that!! 5

He doesn't really listen to music (??!!) but he probably likes the Eagles the best. Unfortunately, I have to agree with The Dude here 5

Mr. JD Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 My wife knows Rush, but enjoys "newer music" (her words). She once told me " you're not weird about many things, but you're really weird about Rush".
