    Review Rush- Permanent Waves (1980) *****

    Yeah, maybe I was unclear. I meant to say that it was something of a return to form in that the ideas were usually lavishly rendered rather than churned out to meet a deadline like Permanent Waves feels like. Natural Science in particular always felt like a gathering of good ideas that just...

    Review Rush- Permanent Waves (1980) *****

    For me Permanent Waves was the beginning of the decline for Rush. Hemispheres is my favorite album by them and other than the first album (that almost comes off like another band) the early albums are by leaps and bounds my favorite stuff they (or anyone else) have ever done. It's not that...

    Recommend some newer Rush songs.

    I liked a lot of the lyrics on Presto but the music is mostly pop garbage through a Rush filter. I agree almost completely with op's assessment and a lot of his favorites. Rush is still my favorite band although the last album they did that I thoroughly enjoy is now something like 42 years...

    What Songs/Bands First Got You Into Music?

    No need to be sorry about that. I think getting into Kiss today with all the baggage they've released over the years would be like a ******** prog head getting into Journey without hearing their first album. Perhaps you will hear their very early stuff and find something you like, maybe not...

    Rank These 4 Grunge Bands in Order of Best to Worst

    AIC, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden which is kind of weird since my favorite musician from all of them was in Soundgarden.

    Hello

    I used to say Within You Without You was my favorite Beatles song but as my knowledge of their whole catalog expanded I became less sure I could pick one. I can't. Too much absolute gold.

    Account Deletion

    I try but I'm usually let down especially if it's someone that came out in the last 20 years. I'll keep trying though. My latest 'discovery' has been a best of from The Marshall Tucker Band who previously batted a .500 with me because they had one song I liked that I knew of (Can't You See) and...

    If a classical composer were writing today, who would he be?

    The Beatles would be kind of the Bach of rock (if this is what you mean) being not the first but the first to take all essential elements and combine them into a sort of working amalgam. Zeppelin would be like Beethoven or Mozart (building on an already established framework and expanding it or...

    Review Rush - Moving Pictures (1981)

    For me Moving Pictures was a step up from Permanent Waves but yes their last thoroughly great album. They made a conscience choice to embrace new wave type pop and they lost me. Signals was a great album for the genre just not a good Rush album and they got worse from there.

    What's Your Favorite Album of All Time?

    That whole era from Caress of Steel to Hemispheres is just peak heavy progressive music (or whatever you want to call it). Absolutely inspired.

    What's Your Favorite Album of All Time?

    OK. This answer works too.

    What's Your Favorite Album of All Time?

    Probably still Hemispheres from Rush. I have a lot of favorites depending on mood but this is an absolutely welcome album no matter what mood I'm in.

    Jethro Tull (Official Thread)

    Like most hard rock fans there were a few Tull songs I always liked. Around the time we were all jamming in the neighborhood my brother and a really good guitar player started covering somewhat obscure Tull songs. Don't remember which ones but while interested I was still most heavily into stuff...

    R.I.P. Ronnie Spector

    One of the better and more distinctive voices of the motown sound. RIP. Her work was absolutely foundational.

    Who here plays the guitar?

    My classical is a Takamine (used to call them Cockameme). It is pretty much the only thing I play these days other than drums. I'm making ok money and have been thinking about getting a Les Paul brand new. The one I want is only $1400 but I can't bring myself to let off that much money for...

    Review Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica (1969)

    A long time ago in a suburb not so far away I think I listened to this. It was completely beyond me back then. This write up makes me want to revisit it.

    Post your latest CD/DVD/Vinyl/Cassette purchases here!

    The last recording I purchased was UFO 1 to replace one I lost. Not long ago I got Led Zep 1 for the same reason. Yeah, I'm that guy.

    Janis Joplin: Hot or Not?

    What Songs/Bands First Got You Into Music?

    There may have already been a thread about this but the question is pretty self explanatory. In this thread we will discuss not only our earliest musical interests but the conditions around us that maybe nudged us in a particular music direction. Please include any non rock early or recent...

    Bands with less than 5 songs you like.

    Well, there's like and then there's love. A few I can think of off the top of my head are: Ghost of an American Airman (bought the tape because I really liked the radio song but...) Gerry Rafferty (pretty much the same) Billy Thorpe (Children of the Sun - but unfortunately the whole album...

    Do you prefer live albums?

    I would like to think if he were given an ultimatum to clean up or get out it might have gone different for him. Maybe not. But after hearing Steve Harris say Dickenson was the singer they always wanted I wonder if the replacement was inevitable? Anyway, I somehow forgot to mention Strangers...
