Lucas Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I am almost ashamed to admit, but up until about 5 minutes ago, I had no idea this song existed .. Can't Fight It was the B side to their first single, a cover of Not Fade Away - apparently neither making it onto the debut ... Where the heck have I been ?? For a split second in the beginning, the riff sounds like the seeds of The Analog Kid As with all early RUSH, Alex is on fire .....

Rod in Toronto Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Thanks for digging this out Lucas! I'd heard about this track, but it's the first time I actually hear it. And I call myself a Rush fan, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Lorraine needs to start a poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 This is old news..... Zumbi...buddy...its stuff like this that makes posting things like "I vote Feedback" so irresistible. You might think you know everything, but some of us content with just the studio albums can at times be surprised by what else there is to offer from Rush. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I am almost ashamed to admit, but up until about 5 minutes ago, I had no idea this song existed .. Can't Fight It was the B side to their first single, a cover of Not Fade Away - apparently neither making it onto the debut ... Where the heck have I been ?? I've been following the band since the late 70's. I found out about Garden Road and Not Fade Away this past year. I haven't known about Can't Fight It until just now. The quality of my 35-year enjoyment of the Band in no way depends on my knowing every single song - A-side or B-side. If I know 99.9% of the songs, will that 0.1% demote me from TrueRushFanTM status? F*UCK NO ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I now think the debut, as generic as it is, is a truly wonderful seventies rock album. Revolutionary? No. But originality isn't always needed to write great music. I really enjoy the debut. It has a lot going for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Another another cool rarirty is the soundcheck of alex neil and billy sheehan sitting for ged. Pretty ripping improv. Also check the music in the abstract site for other awrsome goodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
