micgtr71 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I remember hearing Permanent Waves all the way through when I was 12 or so back in 83. Whenever I hear it I am taken back to that first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This is the song that is the true masterpiece on Permanent Waves. Lets talk about it...I love all my children but I stayed in the shower longer just to finish listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Released 1/1/1980Like it or not, it's an '80's album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Permanent Waves is timeless recorded in the 70's yet leaving the 70's behind to chart the great new course of RUSH in a new era The 80's. RUSH's greatest decade! ...The 80's ended with Hold Your Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbobby10 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The only flaw with Different Strings is that they cut Alex's outro solo wayyyyyyyyy too early. That maybe would have been my favorite of the album if the didnt just stop it. Just like BU2B2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Awesome song. In the top 10 Rush songs for me for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) This song is AMAZING live. The studio version just doesn't do it for me, though. It feels…empty. Cold. It isn't bad by any means, but it is exponentially better live. Edited February 18, 2015 by Disk98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't think it's quite as good as Jacob's Ladder but it's still a fantastic song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 and the live version on R30 is the most transcendent moment in the recorded history of Rush, IMO.I find the Live in St. Louis version the best live version because it's not hacked the way the recent version is. Since they brought it back they cut a verse and a guitar solo. Not good. They've taken a great song and lessened it. Same goes for Xanadu. and 2112. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas7 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Always my favourite album, every song a gem. I class it as a 70's album as I first heard Natural Science, my introduction to Rush, Christmas Eve 1979 through a 10,000 watt P.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pip65 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Jacob's Ladder is my absolute, all time favourite Rush track, but Natural Science (along with a few others) comes pretty close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's my number one favorite Rush song of all time, and the live version on R30 is the most transcendent moment in the recorded history of Rush, IMO. But it's just plain childish to start a thread on it because someone else started one on Jacob's Ladder. The greatness of Natural Science isn't made any greater by slamming Jacob's Ladder. I think it's ok that he made this thread, even for the reason he made it. What is childish is that he continues to go into the Jacob's Ladder thread to slam that song and promote this one. :eyeroll: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
