Recommended Posts

.. a footnote:

 

Did anyone else look at the list of how the albums are ranked ( .. I guess according to the site ? )

 

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the topic

 

But it is an odd list - as if they pulled albums out of a hat

 

1) Moving Pictures

 

2) 2112

 

3) Fly By Night

 

4) Permanent Waves

 

5) A Farewell To Kings

 

6) Debut

 

7) Signals

 

8) Hemispheres

 

9) Roll The Bones

 

10) Power Windows

 

11) Clockwork Angels

 

12) Presto

 

13) Caress Of Steel

 

14) Counterparts

 

15) Vapor Trails

 

16) Hold Your Fire

 

17) Snakes And Arrows

 

18) Test For Echo

They left out Feedback. ;)

Ah ok, better. But Grace along with Hemi and CoS are still ranked way too low, while debut and especially RTB are too high.

Part of me knew this was going to happen judging from the last topic about his update how I said that Neil wasn't happy with Geddy and Alex. And lo and behold, here it is. Neil confirming a "tell all" book. Sure, he's probably going to outline all of his "good experiences" on tour, but I can just see it now. He's going to rub it in our faces that he originally didn't want to go on tour.

 

It will be like his other books, telling stories of the tour, thoughts on his knowing it is probably the last, and lots on birds, cactus, and other things growing on the side of the road. The drama youre creating doesnt exist.

Oh but the drama created in one's mind DOES exist...in the mind. It can be a dark, swirly mess in there at times.

 

Also, you forgot to mention the probable Peart writings on sedimentary rock, tumbleweeds, and fatso Americans.

Not spending one dollar on this band ever again . Plus I have yet to make it past one paragraph of anything Neil has written . I think it is time the other two ( Geddy and Alex ) just decide to move on and hire someone else to play drums . The last time they did it worked out well .

Personally, I'm looking forward to reading it. I've read and own all of Neils books and I have always enjoyed them. The travel descriptions are fascinating to me.

Im reading Roadshow and while

Interesting, and a nice insight to how the man spends his time on the road doing something he obviously loves doing. I dont much feel the need to read much more. Quite frankly the blog posts are more interesting.

 

wow

Let's see how this holds up if some live material or tune out of their 70s vault magically materializes.

Wow could have been referring to the heat dished out cuz a member admitted to reading Neil's blog in the other thread?
