Todem Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) AFTK. Xanadu is the best song...by far. The rest is cool (except Madrigal which is an abomination) but has not aged as well as many other albums. Signals is so freaking good. But now the old guard is out in force and kicking it to the curb.Damn all of you!!!!! HemispheresPermanent WavesMoving PicturesSignals 4 of their 5 very best albums ever.

The Analog Cub Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Might have to join forces and vote for either AFTK or 2112 together to save Signals from the grumpy old fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Gives new meaning to: those who push us down so they might climb. I felt the same when The Deaf Cabal attacked CoS and FBN. And what they are now doing to 2112 and Hemispheres. But it is nothing so sinister...just opinions. I've said many times on here and will repeat it again.... I realize this is all in good fun. Who takes this stuff seriously? Do you lose sleep over someone disliking 2112? What anyone else here thinks about the songs/albums that I happen to love means nothing to me. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well this forum just continues to disappoint me. At least there is the pocket of Pro-Synth people out there still to call companions. My Vote is on 2112. Way over rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Vote is on 2112. Way over rated. Naaaa that would be COS. 2112 is a defining moment in the bands history while COS which is celebrated like Moving Pictures by some was the one that almost was the death of our beloved band. Every album left in this poll (except AFTK) for me are all incredible albums and Rush at the very top of their game. I am one of those synth fans too. Rush was brilliant in their refusal to just keep making albums like Moving Pictures. If they did....we would not be here. It would have been over 25 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The old talk is hilarious considering the newest album on this list is still over 30 years old. :D http://i.imgur.com/I0QgN8n.png It's time to leave Rush to the 120 year olds! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I don't care what anyone thinks about Signals. The Weapon is one of THE best songs Rush ever did. I voted for the sappy 2112. :) Sappy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toscanobarga Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 The whole "you're pro synth" thing is just stupid. There's good and bad in pre- and post- synth periods. eg, COS, pre synth, bad 2112, pre synth, good Presto, post synth, badSignals, post synth, good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 What exactly are the problems people have with synths ? The only true organic music is acoustic, anything you hear that is amplified is basically a processed electronic signal, whether it's just te volume, or Alex's effects pedals, etc. Keys are no different in that regard. 1. diversity is scary2. rush fans in the 70s probably got made fun of for being dorks. when rush started making music that "cool kids" could potentially like, I'm sure it was a big big turnoff (but, but, this actually sold COPIES! I can't listen to this), and thats why iron maiden and dio became the new official D&D soundtrack bands when signals came out.3. the only keyboards acceptable in a rock song are swirling church organs...for some reason. I'm being an ass, but surely you know the real reason why some people like the heavier stuff more than the synth stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
