The banshee wail of older RUSH material makes it unlistenable. That's why I've always said that real RUSH doesn't begin till Presto.

True dat. That album still gives me a jolt of adrenaline every time I hear it. And the wordplay, I swear I discover something new every time I hear it.

Still not as life changing as Counterparts. Until I heard that album I never had any luck with girls. Now I have to fight email off with a stick. Better than any Charles Atlas shit they used to sell in magazines.

 

:wub: :coy:

Hi darlin'... you know we don't have to wait till well after midnight to get started on traditional roles.

:LOL:

Which one is you though, the slapper or the slapped? :smoke:

 

:oops:

 

All I see is a still picture. I didn't know it was an animated one.

 

Never mind then.

Is that a reaction to fingernails on a chalkboard or this poor thread?

 

Both. :LOL:

Which songs would that be? If the vocals are bad I'm still going to cringe. That makes it worse.

I will just never understand these boundaries. It's almost like love isn't transcendent at all, goose... :eh: :wtf:

My favorite Geddy was back when he could scream, but I really do love his more mature voice throughout the following years. Listening to him singing old 70s material or try to sing non high pitch songs higher for some reason is cringe worthy but him singing in his range is just fine for me.

At the risk of sounding trite, I've found that love is blind...if you're gentle. :moose:

At the risk of sounding like a philosopher-king, the flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire.

I loved his voice from the word go. To me what makes a voice great is it's uniqueness. I know it's Ged immediately.

 

The sweet spot I think was between 2112 and Power Windows. Once he started harmonizing with himself all over the place I was less blown away. Then all I could focus on was his ability to get better as a bass player every single album. :D
