Just started listening to them myself. I'm still wondering how I ever did without. 2112 was an experience I'll never forget.

Everything up to (but not including ) Test for Echo is really good. I think Test for Echo was the "Phone it IN" point and just like Depech Mode, I am dissopinted by my heros. Someone who has not phoned it in is Peter Gabrial.
Back to Rush, I got an OB -8 back in the 80's because of Moving Pictures.

I prefer Jennifer. And I f**king loathe her.

2112 is amazing, but I think Hemispheres is even better. Or maybe it just depends upon your mood.

I have no idea what that means. They write great songs and perform them dynamically. They've got a dozen or so tunes that wrench tears from me every time. (Nearly the whole of Power Windows, but especially "Manhattan Project"). Near perfect.

For the right wing of ones stately pile.

That's just unacceptable unless you're gonna give me a place to put it in so I can start a new life...then I can either cover 'em or burn 'em...

i think it's a tie between Rush, Grand Funk Railroad, and Blue Cheer.

No way. Fushitsusha, Boris or Corrupted.

I listened to them a lot as a youngster. "A Farewell to Kings" was always a favorite of mine.

Rush is the greatest 3 piece in history!

You agree?
