Lorraine Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 This isn't meant as a challenge since I love Signals too, but what makes it so superior to Pyromania?
Tombstone Mountain Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Pyromania is one of the best rock albums ever made...Signals not so much. A solid effort, but this is Pyromania we're talking about. 3
Lorraine Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 John Rogers had suggested that I put it up against Presto, but I didn't think that was fair, so I decided to put Pyromania against a Rush album that came out at about the same time.
laughedatbytime Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Signals, though it would be a lot closer in my mind if it went up against High 'N Dry or even On Through the Night.
J2112YYZ Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I wonder if that lead singer can pull those songs off today. He sang almost as high as Geddy in the seventies. Def Leppard's singers name is Joe Elliott and no, he can't hit those notes anymore. The highest his voice ever went was on the chorus of Foolin' and Bringing On The Heartbreak from their previous album. He sang some stuff high but nowhere near as high as Geddy's voice used to get. Geddy's voice was just on another level in the 70s when it came to high notes. Joe is a natural mid range singer, i'm guessing he was doing things with his voice he shouldn't have been doing when he would hit the higher notes. I wouldn't be surprised if he did some permanent damage to his vocal chords by doing that. Edited August 27, 2015 by J2112YYZ 2
Digital Dad Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Rush always win (unless it´s Queen, then it´s a battle) An Ogre Battle. 1
Bigbobby10 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Well at least no one voted for both are bad 1
Stormtron Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Signals, easily. I don't really like any Def Leppard albums after High 'n' Dry. 1
Blue J Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Signals. Pyromania was a good album, as far as '80s AOR is concerned...but I cannot place Def Leppard ahead of Rush in any case whatsoever. 1
Lorraine Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 I wasn't trying to place DL ahead of Rush, and this really isn't a fair poll because the two albums are as different as day and night, but so is Queen different from Rush. 2
Narps Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Rush always win (unless it´s Yes, then it´s a battle)Agreed... :cheers: 1
Lorraine Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 Rush always win (unless it´s Yes, then it´s a battle)Agreed... :cheers:Took me a while to catch what you did there! 1

DistantEarlySignals Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Signals got me into RUSH. It remains in my top three. I like Def Leppard, especially Pyromania, but any RUSH album as a whole is better than DL song wise (no offense to Def Leppard, I really like them, but RUSH is much better IMO) 1
Lorraine Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) In thinking back over that time period music-wise, Signals didn't fit in with the sound of that time. At least to me it didn't. But, on account of that, I think Signals sounds timeless whereas Pyromania doesn't. It's true that Rush didn't seem to care what anyone else was doing. They just did what they wanted to do. Again, it isn't fair to either album to put them up against each other, but I thought it would be fun. :) Edited August 27, 2015 by Lorraine
Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Well Pyromania is as close to perfect as anything tangentially related to hair metal ever got... but Signals is a top 5 Rush album. Signals every day. 1
pjbear05 Posted October 8, 2021 Posted October 8, 2021 No vote, both good, and if I pour sugar on it I will be assaulted by the ghost of Wilford Brimley with dire warnings about "diabetus."
