Segue Myles Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The chorus is beautiful! Such a simple, chiming melody. Really gorgeous if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 And yes, the "boys and girls" is cheesy and it took me a while to like the song, but it is catchy. And let's face it, much of Rush's early stuff was cheesy too. Cheesiness (and nerdiness) somewhat defines this band and that's partly why I love them.

Narps Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I love the regrettable chorusesYou have a big heart. My heart shriveled a little when I heard sun dogs fire . . .It seems to me that Chain Lightning and Available Light are so similar stylistically I think either you love them both or hate them. I tend to enjoy them to be honest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Read about it:: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog The line created great imagery for me. And "parhelia fire on the horizon" wouldnt have worked as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 thing is...i rarely listen to individual Rush songs, they are a band i tend to just pick an album and listen straight through. Hard to pick standouts. But these ten are, no argument, my babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coventry Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 These threads annoy me. It isn't that far removed from the style of MP and Signals. What does that have to do if one considers it an 80s or 90s album? Roll the Bones isn't that far removed from Presto so should RTB be considered an 80's album too? Actually I'm very surprised how many 90's votes Presto is getting since it's obviously an 80's album because it was like released in the 80's ;) I was making the comparison because many make out like Presto sounds like nothing else from that decade. And I honestly hear little in common with RTB, aside from a couple of tracks (Big Wheel and Roll The Bones). Not keen on RTB at all. I think RTB was much more pop and hook-conscious that Presto. It worked, too. But RTB's songs are quite different from Presto both in theme and style. They don't seem as playful as Presto ("Red Tide" on Presto and "YBYL" on RTB notwithstanding - yet "Where's My Thing" is also one of the top 2 or 3 Rush instrumentals, so both albums have their anomalies).
