JohnRogers Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 So Ive been spending a lot of time listening to full albums. It did not really surprise me but I realized something I think we can all agree on, the best Rush material is the years 1980-1991. Save the keystrokes, no debate. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I see some of the Long Hair Painted Denim Jacket crowd have spoken, frankly I expected more of them to put down the hash pipe and champion their cause.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 All phases have highlights for me, I like the band. To me, the high water mark is A Farewell of Kings through Signals. The high water mark of that high water mark is PeW and MP, which were not only IMO the bands best albums, but two of the greatest rock albums ever made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah, Rush has been crap since '91. I agree. We should just stop listening to them and quit posting on a Rush fan forum. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerxt1990 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Theres another thing thats kind of funny - as the LP went by the wayside and the CD came to be, it opened Rush up to making albums that were longer, so they could explore more creative space. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didnt, but that made a difference. And even the records that were not for me "all that" meaning I didn't like everything on the record, rarely was there ever a time that not 1 or 2 songs really got me and stayed in my rotation.

JohnRogers Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Counterparts leaves me confused and wanting. I really dig Modern Era Rush which started with Vapor Trails. Classic Rush has many great gems. The Golden Era from 1980-1991 is when their best songs came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
