Sp1Grrl and I are having a "discussion" as to whether the band Rush sucks. Now, I am a Rush fan, so you folks know where I stand. You also now know who thinks Rush "sucks" .
What say you???? Poll coming if I can remember how to post one! |
|
For a minute I thought you were talking about the talk show host.
|
|
They were fine until they discovered MIDI. Working Man is one of my favorite songs, ever.
|
|
The Rock and Roll Gods are not very happy with you at the moment! |
|
|
Just quoting the lady. |
|
|
The Rock and Roll Gods need to listen to "Test for Echo" again.......... |
||
|
just because of this, I'm going to listen to all my rush LPs after work.
|
|
Hey, that's a damn good album!!!! |
|||
|
What he said. GAWD that sucked. |
|||
|
I was with you for a while, but now you are starting to scare me |
||||
|
The Force is strong in this one!!!! |
|
|
Notice he said LP's. That means pre-87. Notice a trend? |
||
|
I could never get into those guys.
The fact that Geddy Lee's voice sounds like a cat being tortured in an air raid siren while someone riding in a train with the full brakes on runs his fingernails down a chalkboard might have something to do with it. |
|
Just what I was thinking.....or Geddy's " My Favorite Headache" if you are really a fan. |
|||
|
They have been going downhill ever since they released "Moving Pictures" in the 80's
|
|
I didn't see a "sorta suck" option so I didn't vote.
Pro: Pretty solid bandwork Con: Canadian Rock Plus the lead singer can really get on your nerves. Too whiny sounding. |
|
A trend for some people to NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP WITH THE ADVANCES IN THE TIMES???? Why, yes I do.....yes, I do. |
|||
|
That would take me at least a day, with no breaks.....I got everything by Rush and Sabbath. (I need to start smoking weed again, fire up the turntable and lock myself in the office for a weekend....hmmmm) |
||
|
I NEVER said 'TEH'...I just said they sucked. Period. DON'T BURN THE WITCH!! BURN MOONIE!! |
||
|
When "the times" call for instruments linked with MIDI, harsh sounding digital recordings, a truck load of effects processors to muddy up a perfectly good guitar signal, obscene use of reverb, drums processed so heavily that they no longer sound like a real drum kit, and an apparent hearing disorder on the part of the recording engineer, I'd prefer they didn't follow the trend. |
||||
|
Uh-oh...SHE'S RIGHT!!!! Teh was a "mistake" on my part.........ummmmm, sorry 'bout that.......dyslexia, you know. |
|||
|
Okay you freaky Rush lovers...give me some REASONS why you like them so much...I mean, all the songs sound the same...
|
|
DAMNNNN!!!!! Looks like I am gonna need a bigger pile of wood. Anyone got some kerosene???? |

You have been sabatogeed by the Evil Corporate Radio Syndicate!!!! Rush not only has technical precision and excellent production techniques but an ENORMOUS amount of Rush's song material is VERY positivistic and beautiful. Instead of whining about how someone's girlfriend left them or how rotten life is, Rush promotes POSITIVISM, the respect of beauty, the value of life and of TRYING to succeed. They sing about everything from hard work ( Working Man ) to Space Flight ( Countdown ) to photography ( Available Light ).......THESE ARE SOME OF THE ONLY GOOD GUYS IN ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
Lyrics more than music. Read the lyrics off of a lyric server. Even without the music those songs were very powerful poetry. Dont look at anything past 1987, regardless of desertmoon wanting to kill me for saying it |
|
|
Not kill....not as such....just, well.....burn at the stake, you know....simple thing.....heck, somone wants to do it to me, too!!! |
||
|
yes, you still have made a choice!!! |
|
|
Woo hoo! Someone's on my side! |
|
|
It's all about Free Will..... |
||
|
Rush is NOT teh suck, and anyone that says so is, well a GIRL lol. Lord only knows what bands SHE likes. |
|
|
you probably havent listened to many of their low airtime songs then. granted, fly by night, limelight, and tom sawyer do sound similar, but their other stuff adds a bit of variety. |
|
|
yeah, but once you get past THAT, they roXXors! |
