Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Oct. 19 2003, 11:55 I love Rush! They're up there as one of my favourite bands ever. What are your favourite Rush albums, by the way? I'm a fan of Hemispheres, Moving Pictures and Signals myself. And what did you think of Vapor Trails? -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Watcher of the skies Group: Members Posts: 67 Joined: Oct. 2003 Posted: Oct. 19 2003, 13:33 my favourite albums "Presto" - still their strongest collection of songs ever."Show don't tell","anagram","Hand over fist" are my favourite from this band.in my opinion they never done album like this. "Moving Pictures" - a classic "Test for echo" - a solid Rush album,contains everything that i like the most about them "Signals" - maginficent synth-rock piece of music "Vpaor trails" in my opinion is to raw and loud although i like it.still they made better albums than this -------------- Hillmen are swore of allegiance living a live of silent dignity for your protection only so you don't worry... your pretty little head!

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Oct. 19 2003, 14:34 Cool selection! I haven't heard Test For Echo yet (sadly), but I'm in full agreement about the other three. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Esau Group: Members Posts: 16 Joined: Oct. 2003 Posted: Oct. 21 2003, 11:54 I have been a fan for years,being that they are from a city(Toronto,Ontario,Canada.) about 40 min from my hometown(Hamilton,Ontario), Seen them a few times,but up to about the "Signals" album 1982 is about where my taste for them ends,I am not a big fan of their post 1982 stuff,but still support this great Canadian band.Still given'r!! Favourite albums for me are: Rush 1974 Fly By Night 1975 Caress of Steel 1975 2112 1976 All the worlds a Stage 1976(overall favourite) Farwell to Kings 1977 Here's a link to the site : Rush Cheers~ -------------- After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~Aldous Huxley Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Nov. 07 2003, 16:18 I love Rush, too!! What a truly great and unique band. My favourite albums are Moving Pictures, A Farewell To Kings and Caress Of Steel, but basically I like everything up to Signals and since Counterparts. Not such a big fan of the Grace Under Pressure through Roll The Bones period. (Still good albums, just a bit too 80s for my taste.) Test For Echo is awesome, and so is Vapor Trails! Back to top

Bonsignore Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: Nov. 14 2003, 21:41 One of my favourite bands until this very day and though they constantly produced great music, they're still able to surprise me...take Vapour trails for example...that was a brave move and really blew me away...IMO they kind of lost it somehow from Hold your fire onwards and it took me a while to enjoy albums like Counterparts or Test for echo, so I wouldn't have expected a record like Vapour trails... Lee,Lifeson,Peart: What more can you ask for?!   Back to top

Geddy Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: Nov. 30 2003, 12:39 Hey,man I am a RushFreak-you can tell from my nickname. Waht a cool idea to talk about Rush-that is my favourite band ever-first it was Mike but I prefer Rush noe-but Mike is still one of my top priorities-as I am writing this I am listening to the best Rush album ever Hold Your Fire-now that is a master piece-just like TB or Discovery(i love that album). But the best albums that Geddy,Alex and Neil have produced are: Hold Your Fire(1987) Grace Under Preassure(1984) 2112(1976) Moving Pictures(1980) Caress of Steel(1975) Counterparts(1993) This is a must have list for any respectable music fan! ROLL THE BONES!!!!! Back to top

Bonsignore Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: Dec. 01 2003, 13:49 Eg-f*ckin-zactly, Geddy geezer!   HYF is an outstanding, sophisticated record and one of my favourite Rush albums. There might be those of you who've underestimated its importance and don't have a soft spot for it, but it's splendid, no two ways about it. It's very similar to Power windows and they both could have been Volume I and II...the only thing to complain about is the circumstance that it's a little bit too in-yer-face...but, in the end, there were sufficent punters who bought and liked it Back to top

Bonsignore Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: Dec. 02 2003, 03:44 Grace under pressure sounds a bit lackluster as far as I'm concerned- Rush were opting for a new direction with another producer and failed to a certain degree...eventually the members themselves were unsatisfied with how the songs turned out...IMO Grace under pressure is definitely a non-starter!   Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Dec. 02 2003, 04:39 Just listened to it - it's not that bad at all really!   Back to top

Bonsignore Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: Dec. 02 2003, 05:57 Fair enough, but I can't really attest to that, because I think they were out on a musical limp when they were about to write Grace under pressure- looking back on it, for me it's kind of an transitional album and they got away with it- doesn't mean that it's substandard, not at all...surely I will listen to it again... Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Dec. 02 2003, 11:33 Grace Under Pressure is definitely one of Rush's weakest moments - even though I love Kid Gloves. It makes me kinda surprise the huge amount of negative reviews Hold Your Fire actually gets. I don't find it a bad album. Okay, so it's not one of their absolute best (in my humble opinion), but it's a very pleasant listen. I prefer Power Windows, though... if only for Marathon. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

I guess that the majority is simply embarrassed to admit that they'd like it, because HYF contains an awful lot of sloppy and catchy tunes... ...which suits me fine, because I'm a great one for that  Power windows is great for Marathon and Big money...the guitar solo by Lifeson sends shivers down my spine... The should've called it a day after the HYF album (Caution: This is a calculated wind-up, buddies!....but then...I would have missed many more gorgeous albums!   Back to top

Bonsignore Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: Dec. 11 2003, 19:58 Well, Holger...did you read the interviews with Lee and Peart? Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Dec. 11 2003, 20:31 Not yet; though perhaps it's better to keep private messages to the 'private messenger'... Back to top

Bonsignore Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: Dec. 11 2003, 20:39 I see...but I'm not going to justify myself...I reckon that he can cope with that fact Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Dec. 11 2003, 20:54 I guess 'he' can, I meant that more on a general level. But I think we're really digressing here   Back to top
