Disk98 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Anyway, I don't consider "true fandom" as loving every single thing someone ever did. Fandom is dedication, passion, and admiration. No, I don't like Hemispheres. But I'm as much a fan as anyone else is when it comes to just how much Rush means to me. And for the record, I do happen to love nearly everything else.

YYZumbi Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 On a scale of one to ten, where would you be? Ten being Zumbi-like and one being like me. zumbi's an 11. Seems I don´t have to answer in this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 If somebody abandons them for over 25 years should that count against said individual?... :codger:I would put you as an eight. Toymaker, on the other hand, is no eight. It's important to remember that you are measuring yourself against the super fandom of Zumbi. :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 dick98 is a solid ONE for not liking hemispheres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Am too an 8! I have a red vinyl Hemispheres. That's like 5 points right there! Another 1.5 for my argument that places Permanent Waves in the 70s. Another point for my past eloquent arguments regarding Signals. Another .5 because . . . I bought the R40 box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you bought R40, that would make you more than an eight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curly Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Years ago I was probably close to a 10. As time passes (cuz we know it doesn't stand still) and my horizons and experiences broaden I've probably dipped down to about a 7.5 - 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JARG Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I was a 10 until Permanent Waves came out...then dropped down to about a 7 over the 80s...down to a 5 in the 90s...I'm probably a 3 for this century's output. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
