@MPCavalier man, HYF is such a great album. Time Stand Still is one of the most perfect pop songs of the 1980's (nobody else agrees but I'm right about this). I remember an interview where Geddy admitted he didn't really think about how he would play that bassline and sing the melody at the same time - it's gotta be hard on the head to do that.

@MPCavalier I'm really trusting my memory here. I wasn't immediately in love with everything I heard. I think my favourite of all the albums upon first listen was Permanent Waves. I just loved everything about it. I mostly loved Moving Pictures (natch) and Hemispheres. I also really liked Fly By Night because it was really energetic (and wasn't keen on Rivendell right away). I just couldn't get over how much the band changed over time. Little did I know they weren't nearly done changing.

@MPCavalier my very first on-purpose exposure to Rush was the opening chord of The Big Money. I wish someone had taken a photo of my face at that moment. Learning that my new favourite band had a massive and widely varied back catalog was gobsmacking. when Hold Your Fire was released I was in love with it. When Presto was released I was less in love but still found more than half the album was pretty great. that was about 1/3 for Roll The Bones ;)

@MPCavalier oh man, my love for Rush knows no bounds.

It seems only recently that the 4-album stretch between Signals and Hold Your Fire finally got some respect from die-hard fans. I understand them having issues with the various interesting directions the band took : Rush made a lot of different flavours of rock over their career. Still, all I can say to them is: "Jack, relax."

has anyone here seen Biosphere ? What an odd movie : I think I liked it :)

@Birdsnstuff cute bird :)

I've got a lot of respect for indie bands that are making #indiemusic these days. There's this compulsion (which I know all too well) to make musical art. Yet it's a real challenge to get your art heard by people. Social Media is a necessary evil. Thankfully places like CoSo have less than the standard amount of evil involved. That's a relief

there's a lot of truth to the claim that spending time on social media is bad for you. And yet, here we are.
You know what else is bad for you? pretty much everything :)

so I heard The Sherlocks on a podcast called #Let'sPlayTen
Great band!

@Alfred Dearest Alfred,
At this point we'll take anything. It's okay if you're not feeling it: we've all had days like that.
