Rush
 

How many people out there like Rush?

me. :)

Good we must gather as many people as possible and stand up the evil Geddy Lee hatin' Midgley or as he goes by on this site puddin

I hate you Barwise. And Rush.

Geddy Lee is just so god-awfully bad and annoying!

hes not a bad vocalist at all IMO...his tone takes a while to get used to but as an actual singer he is above average with some decent range...but theres a hell of a lot more to geddy than his vocals...dont forget hes one of the most gifted bass players to ever roam the earth. ;)

dude, i love Rush. I have all of their studio albums. I need to go out and get the live ones some day though. Because.............they rock!

^ Suck On That Midgley Yeeeaaaaaaa

yeah,.....or else....something

know anything about RUSH?
 

hmm... I wonder if this is the place to get help?? I am visiting Canada, from the UK, my boyfriend is a big fan of rock music and also a drummer with a birthday coming up... problem: I know nothing about either rock or drumming! Doing my research like a good girl who knows a little about bday presents, I have learnt that Canada is the birthplace of RUSH, renound as one of the top classic Rock bands, not only that but containing one of boyfriend's best loved drummers... Neil Peart.

He has none of their records. I want to get an LP for him. Know nothing about LPs.

To cut a long story short I have no idea where to go from here. Which LP do people in the know think is the finest representation of rock and drumming? I gather that Moving Pictures, Hemispheres and A Farewell to Kings seems to be battling for top place... I've found 2 "collector" LPs of Hemispheres, one is a picture disc one is red vinyl... (?) for $25 and $20 respectively...

Shall I just chuck in the towel and get a DVD!

Need some guidance from people in the know... Rock lovers help please? :o)

I don't really care for them, so if I've heard of a record, that means it might be popular. Try:

2112
Permenant Waves

and I think their greatest collection is "spirit of the radio"

If none of this pans out their most popular song is "Tom Sawyer" and "free will" kicks ass.

Rush is an excellent band - especially the first 6 or 8 releases. If you go with a DVD "Rush In Rio" is a great choice. For pure music listening I would recommend "2112" or "Hemispheres" - both are outstanding.

COol I'll mosey back down to to record store and look for some of those... the people there seem to know nothing!!! Cheers!

Thats usually the case, I don't know who employees the people there, but they never have job openings and they never have a clue.

Well Farewell To Kings is the usual poll topper when it comes to Rush albums.

If that fails then there`s always sexual favours.

Which is way WAY better than a rush CD.

What a shame... I thought Sexual Favours might have been the title of their best ever... could've killed 2 birds with one stone.

Hey, enough with the hatin' on Rush! They've influenced so many musicians it's not even funny.

I`m not hating on Rush , I just think getting my **** sucked is better than listening to 2112

Ok, that's nice. If you don't like to listen to there music that's fine with me, but they are an important part of music history.

all ive got by Rush is the feedback e.p. which i bought because it has the Seeker on it.

great great album

Hell yes, i love them.

Rush....age isnt an issue
 

I was just thinking, rush may be some old people, but their music is incredible...i'd have to say that these guys are definetly one of the main influences of progressive music and how about geddys bass....could anyone ask for a sweeter bass?

mmm they are very good 2112 is awesome

meh

I agree, Rush are a brilliant band and Geddy is very talented.

2 words

Peter Hook

:D

I love Geddy, he's great.

Gedddy Lee & Neil Peart are absolutly amazing.
Rush is a fantastic band, 2112 is an amazing experience everytime i listen to it, which seems to be all the time.

Rush is one of the most influential bands of all time, in my opinion.

I love Rush. Despite it being corny at times, you can tell they have fun making music. And it's progressive rock with soul. Effort goes into the songwriting. They're all masters at their instruments. And the vocals are an acquired taste :).

Well... Great musicians they are... But if we are talking about quality songwriting in prog, they don't compare to Roger Waters, Robert Fripp, Ian Anderson, Peter Gabriel and Peter Hammill. IMO.

And like ELP the lyrics aren't really that important, they just let the music do the talking.

I love Rush, though i think they are a little overrated compared to other lesser known but equally talented prog bands.

Right now, Rush is my fav prog, but I'm really liking Camel.

I like a fair few prog bands. I like Rush, ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Genesis. I like some rarer ones like Camel, Atomic Rooster, Goliath, Autumn People, Fuzzy Duck, Egg, Jade Warrior, Art and Gong.

I like some modern prog like Porcupine Tree, LTE and Radiohead. I'm getting into Jethro Tull, more ELO, Hawkwind, Ozric Tentacles and Mars Volta.

I never used to pay much attention to prog, because I was a bit turned away by the prog metal that I had heard, but just recently, Rush has made me interested in prog rock. I had never really heard any prog rock until Rush.

Also, I don't know if you've heard, but Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) is a huge fan of rare and obscure psychedelia and 70s prog. And I'm finding that I like that music.

There are a lot of unlikely prog fans... Flea, Vincent Gallio, Jack Black and even Johnny Rotten for example.

I agree :)

i don't find rush that great.. i mean some writings are ok, but nothing great. The vocals well sound like smurfs.. or something.. after like two songs i have to turn them off.. there far to annoying.

I love the vocals! They are quite different.

my singer has been told he sounds most commonly like the singer from rush:(

well i'm sorry to hear that.

Geddy's brilliant!
