Digital Dad Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Bytor you are correct as is LABT. The haters and young folk are just gonna hate. No way around it... :)Are all the young members here against early Rush? What You're Doing is great.From what I have observed they seem to be. There are always outliers in everything but in general it seems to be the case. Just my own observation...Maybe I was exposed too much to Led Zeppelin when i was younger and whatnot and that's what turned me onto Rush so despite liking their middle career, I have a soft spot for the early stuff rather than an aversion to itDon't think "too much" Led is possible.... :) Oh its definitely possible.

Narps Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 What you're doing is a nice little Zeppelinesque rocker, but it isn't as good as Working Man, Finding My Way, Before and After and Here Again.Excellent!! I would put it 5th as well with the others you have pointed out ahead of it. You have pretty good taste and evaluation skills despite what I have heard... :D Which would be the 5th? In the Mood?What You're Doing would be fifth for me behind the four you mentioned. I would put Here Again first.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dissimilar to Tom Sawyer to me as a big Rush fan.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 In regard to younger fans hating early Rush… I'm 16, but don't fit that description. Yes, I hate Caress of Steel. Yes, I hate side one of Hemispheres. I at least enjoy everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bytor and the Snow-Dog Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 All this talk about young rush fans and I realized I'm the youngest so far. I'm only 15 but I enjoy most rush except hold your fire and power windows. Why does everyone hate Caress of Steel? It's a killer album.. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I talk about What You're Doing all the time. I think it would be the perfect song from the debut album to break out of the vault for R40. Geddy could definitely handle the vocals. It was the closer on ATWAS, so it has meaningful history. As others have said, the main riff is killer, but I also love the solo. It's so smooth, yet it still kicks ass, which personifies the genius that is Alex Lifeson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
