HemiBeers Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) ok, time to make your bottom 5 lists. People will be even more insulted. That should be worth 10 pages of posts. Feedback doesn't count since it's just a cover album and in a different league. 1. Hold Your Nose2. Presto3. COS4. Roll the Bones5. Test for Echo I almost put PW as 5 because of the cheesy synths, but I have to admit there's pretty good consistent material on the album. A show of hands kind of blows as a live album as well. Let the shit storm begin! Edit: Oops I forgot RTB (as much as I could), so new list for me. Edited July 8, 2015 by 2112FirstStreet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Every TrueRushFan™ has a top five list like this (list courtesy of a TrueRushFan™: HemispheresPermanent WavesA Farewell To KingsMoving PicturesSignals All the rest are wanna-be's. This should stir the pot and fan the flames. :fury: Put 2112 on the top and I would agree. Those are musts to love or you are out of the club... :D Signals is overrated mediocrity, and 2112 is deliciously underrated on this forum...saves it from ever being annoyingly fanboyed over! Hems is great, but I don't think it has to be on every top five list. I actually think some days that CoS is better. Stirring the pot *adds soy sauce* Sir, your music taste STINKS!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 All this love for "lesser" albums is obviously all just very poor acting on our parts. Ahh, yes...you've caught me. The past 35 years of my life as a Rush fan have just been a tremendous pose- I actually don't like them at all! I am not even a Rush fan. I just randomly pick an album title and blindly rave about it haha This topic really touched a nerve for you two, huh? Interesting. No, if it really touched a nerve, I wouldn't be posting anything at all in it. Wouldn't even be looking at it. As Segue said, just having a bit of fun. It seems that people having favourites other than your own touched a nerve with you, hence we have this thread. No man. I started the thread for some fun to kick something around. Read your first post. You decided to make it something else because your nose is apparently out of joint over something you read on a message board. Lighten up.

Disk98 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) LOL. Ha. Ha. There's Waves, Pictures, Signals, and GUP. All else are underlings to the Great Quad. Isn't the Great Quad 2112, Hemi, PeW and MP? I thought that had been proven by String Theory as part of its explanation-of-everything. Oh wait, there's holes in String Theory. I guess the jury is out on the Great Quad, but I hold it would be those four, clearly. In my world, the great quad is Caress Of Steel, 2112, A Farewell To Kings, and Hemispheres. No, no, no. PeW, MP, VT, CA. Edited July 8, 2015 by Disk98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3strukt Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Wait so I'm just like not allowed to think that Moving Pictures isn't their best work? Or I'm not a "real fan" if I like Hold Your Fire better than Moving Pictures? Isn't the thing that makes us all fans the fact that we can appreciate such a wide variety of music? I think it's great that we have differing opinions. It'd be so boring otherwise. And I think nobody is any less of a "true fan" for not liking Moving Pictures as much as any other fan. First off, I would think the fact that my post was meant to be taken in good humor would be obvious. However, to your question about "real fans" it is my belief that some people who call themselves "real fans" of a band, any band, often like to say they prefer obscure material to more commercially successful material (for example, a "real" ZZ Top fan doesn't like Eliminator, a "real" Black Sabbath fan doesn't like Paranoid) because it makes them appear to be more "into" the band's discography than a causal fan. When there's this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6E_gC7UlMwWhy would I want to listen to Paranoid? It's a relatively bad album by Black Sabbath standards, the only reason why it's so popular is because almost every song is a radio staple, or well known, with the exception of Hand of Doom, and Planet Caravan. How many times has FWB, Paranoid, War Pigs, Electric Funeral, or Iron Man been ran into the ground. In my opinion it is an elementary album. Their Debut is so much better. So as someone who has all 19 albums, why would I go to Paranoid, when there is so much more musically diverse albums like Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, or Never Say Die! or Technical Ectasy, or Headless Cross, e.t.c.

g under p Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I do believe however that it is possible that Caress Of Steel could be ones favorite i.e. LedRush... I'm convinced that every Rush album is someone's favorite.I do believe however that it is possible that Caress Of Steel could be ones favorite i.e. LedRush... I'm convinced that every Rush album is someone's favorite. Great post RNB, I would agree you that every RUSH album IS someone's favorite album. For me it's GUP by far followed by 2112....MP IS GREAT album to me due solely to the track TCE. I'm not sure why that track stood out to me then and still does today. There's something to be said that we as fans go through phases where one album stands out more or where one prefers to listen to this album over another. Also others where one hasn't listened to in years or months such as S&A for me...it's like an upset stomach it just doesn't agree with me. I'd rather listen RTB over and over than go through that entire album. In The End I love them ALL really why because the albums comes from this band from Canada with the guy some say has a funny sounding voice.

Whatever you do, don't mention the remaster. I don't really get why, as production aside the songs get quite a good response live and they aren't hugely different to albums like SA or CA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
