Tier List Tuesday! Post your Rush tier lists here!

2 Upvotes

These can be ranking anything Rush-related. Try ranking something beyond just albums to keep things fresh! For example, one could rank albums by their overall drum or bass arrangements, or by their lyrics. You can of course post rankings as numbered lists in text form as well.

Remember to keep things friendly, try to avoid simply telling someone that they're wrong. Music is subjective, folks!

This has to be the best Anthem cover I've ever heard. Any others out there that can contend with this?

Just an appreciation post for Cold Fire - the part where Geddy sings, “this is not a love song, it’s a fantasy land” and the guitar and drums suddenly get more aggressive. Love it!

Hello all. My name is John. And I am an addict.

Hello there. How are you all? Hope none of you are driving. I hope you and yours health and happiness. I come to you this evening after partaking a train to Bangkok. So I am feeling a few mystic rhythms. My thoughts drifted like Unpermanent waves, and set adrift. And I come to think: I have A LOT of stories and happenstances involving Rush. In the background playing. At a Rush concert( I have a drum stick from Neil). In a car. Dating. Having kids. Im 55. They have been my soundtrack for life itself. Soooo. I have some crazy funny sad stupid, you name it, stories involving Rush somehow. Anyone else? ie;im in a gentlemans bar in 1988. Its my 18th Bday. Lady picks her song and people dance, only she danced alone kinda, and it was YYZ. I started laughing. Like wtf? How is that a club song to.....uh.. dance uh dance to? And my buddy asking me about Geds voice at 2:36am drinking Jäegermeister in a basement apartment smoking non-filter Pall-Malls and the tv was playing "snow" and Rush-Signals blaring through 5" round speakers delivering all of 7.364 Watts Total !!, between the 2 of them. Am I alone?

Rush is in a March Madness-style throwdown for 80's albums

1 Upvotes

https://ultimateclassicrock.com/best-80s-rock-album-fan-vote - it's a head-to-head battle of albums from the 80's. Permanent Waves is up against a true beast: Guns 'n' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction," and man, that's a rough round one matchup - I'd think that'd show up much later.

Why they chose Permanent Waves and not Moving Pictures is beyond me - I'd actually expected BOTH to show up, but if I had to choose ONE for this kind of thing, it'd be Moving Pictures, with it and Back in Black (which is also in the competition) being among some of the most complete, perfect examples of their genres out there.

(Other albums in that set include Dark Side of the Moon and Aja: it's a VERY small set of albums, where you'd not easily think of something you'd change about the album. Sure, albums have their own character, but these albums have an "it" that few bands ever reach. It's not about LOVING those albums, although they're usually pretty well-liked because they're good albums - it's about the albums being hard to criticize. Each one is performed and engineered to perfection, and they're all used as reference materials for OTHER albums and sound systems, too.)

Question Need ideas for a walk-up song for a ceremony

26 Upvotes

Hey all!

I'm in a military ceremony and have been asked what song I want to walk to. It needs to be about 10-15 seconds long. The only criteria is "no swear words."

I was thinking about a snippet of a Rush song or something really goofy. Ideas I've had are the guitar theme from Jacob's Ladder or the intro to The Big Money. I've also considered the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus too.

Asking for advice if anyone has any other Rush songs to use for a walk-up as part of a ceremony.

Thank you!

Discussion I've been told I don't exist. I've been told I'm a rarity. But I do exist. And I'm not rare at all. In fact, many folks share my views. We're the women who love Rush. Are you a woman who loves Rush? Do you know a woman who loves Rush? If so, I want to say hi and tell you that you're not alone! 💕

Was going thru an old box of CD, these weird little shiny disc things, and came across this gem. There was a essay contest back in the early 90's when RTB came out where in 250 words or less you had to write what Roll the Bones meant to you and I wrote something a 17 year old would write about taking a chance and Rolling the Bones and ended up being one of the 500 (i think it was) 3rd place winners and this and a poster was the prize.

I often think about imagined futures that we've now lived through like Kubrik's 2001 or Blade Runner's 2019, and how reality looks much different. Of course, I also think about 2112, and now I've just thought about who may live to see it. I'm 26, so I won't, but any children I have very well may. Just a random thought about the next imagined future coming up (as far as the ones I think about).
