BassMasterGeneral Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Title is pretty self explanatory, what are the Rush songs you really didn't like at first, but you appreciate or like more now? For me I'd say Madrigal, Different Strings, and Beneath, between, and behind. How about you guys? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Most of Vapor Trails. After the remix hit, that album got a million times better for me, from being one of their worst to being about middle of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day of Light Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm a new fan but it took me a fairly long time to understand the songs on Permanent Waves that come after Freewill. First I had to warm up to Natural Science, then Different Strings, and then a few months afterwards I was listening to the album and I was absolutely captivated by Jacob's Ladder, a song that, prior to that, I used to think was kinda meh. Individual songs that had to grow on me were Territories, Animate, Test For Echo, and The Body Electric. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I hated Cygnus X-1 because of the vocals and dopey lyrics. On R40, as an instrumental, it rocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) I am still working on warming up to Power Windows. I like it but it's my least listened to Rush.You and me both. I was supposed to listen to it the other day to see if it had yet begun to grow on me but got distracted by other things and didn't. But it is on my list for next week. If I don't get distracted again. Edited April 9, 2016 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Jacobs Ladder.After seeing it on r40 I really was converted.Through all the 80s I couldn't really get The Camera Eye,then the penny dropped and the kangaroo went back into the top paddock.

Stormtron Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The Big MoneyNew World ManThe Trees - When I started listening to Rush as a kid, I thought this one was so cheesy. Almost embarrassing to admit as it's one of my favorites now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Did not really like Presto (the album) & Counterparts when they came out. Took years but both have clicked with me and I really like both now. A lot. Countdown. Did not really like it. Then one day I got talking about it in a thread with Rush Goober who said it was great and he suggested I give it another listen. Did and now I like it - not love it, just like. But its a good solid like. Between The Wheels. Was not even on my radar. Just sort of a forgotten, ho-hum song till I heard it on the R30 tour. I was like "WTF - that awesome!! I have to go listen to that again on the album. How did I overlook that song?!" Now I really like it a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
