grasbo Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Kid Gloves wins because there's no guitar solo in Kharma Chameleon,but only just,by a whisker.Very hard choice.But don't forget our heroes started listening to(and started looking like!) the likes of Ultravox and the Police about this time.Now just trying to find a Duran Duran tune to compare.

antiquark Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 People get angry when tef**k off. You wanna go? Oooh you're so tough. And you're a complete dick. Wow, really, you two? People get angry when they're forced to remember the racoon hat version of Geddy... it brings out The Rage ™. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pound of Obscure Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Put on your kid gloves, put on your kid gloves. :( Along with 1001001 SOS, marked the beginning of lyrical decline in Rush songs. Still better than Karma Chameleon. But so is death by drowning in a septic tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still better than Karma Chameleon. But so is death by drowning in a septic tank. No, these are just the choruses which are not at all bad. The last two songs of HYF is Rush's way of saying, "Yeah, we're going to start putting out a lot of shit now". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Funny thing about the eighties. A lot of hard rock bands that were active in the 80's are still filling huge arenas, Rush among them. But where are the MTV pop acts now? Culture Club, Kajagoogoo, Human League, Simply Red, Simple Minds, Roxy Music, Spandau Ballet, etc. Only U2 and Madonna survived (unfortunately). Art as expression, not as market campaigns, will still capture our imagination. That's the main reason almost all pop music and 'music' where image is more important than the song do not survive. Kid Gloves isn't very strong of a song but easily gets my vote. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because you didn't live through it? :) The 1980's were so bad, even XANADU sucked! Yes you heard me correctly, Xanadu sucked (see video below!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yIm3o71v0Q Edited January 14, 2015 by antiquark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detonator Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Best of the eighties? Miami Vice (occasionally). It had some fantastic episodes. This for example... just unreal scene and music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSARDlHh-Mg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because you didn't live through it? :)Good point... Since I came of age during the eighties (for good or ill, hahaha)...I also tend to agree. But (and it's a big BUT)- I also say that people are entitled to like whatever they like, for whatever reasons under the Sun that they feel that way. It matters not.

I think you have a tendency to put things up on a pedestal more when seen from the outside. I agree there's good and bad music regardless of when it was made. And sure, someone can appreciate it either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sure, someone can appreciate it either way. Agreed- the seventies are another case in point. I'll hear people my age say they wish they could have been teenagers or young adults during the '70s, because there was so much great music ( and I agree, there was)- and it was a much more carefree time, in many respects. But there were also things about it that were dreadful, just like any other time period has to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that sense it was definitely a simpler time. I was a teenager during the 70s so that was a big time for me with music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) A lot of the old music is hard to appreciate out of its context in time. I think that's why most of the younger members here do not appreciate the Rush of the seventies. Speaking only for myself, I am grateful that I was on the scene when it was all happening. I wouldn't want to be young today and going through an entire catalog of music from any band at one time.
