Guest FrigidSoul Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 My father still owns just about every vinyl RUSH has released
Slayer Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 The funny thing about GH comps to me are usually that, for most bands, only 3 or 4 songs might've been actual radio hits, while the rest are just the band's chosen favorite songs Although, looking through that list again, damn, I think the first 9 songs plus "Subdivisions" all still get radio airplay on the classic rock stations Anyways, umm... Rush rules. That is all
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 Rush rules it. My two favorite tracks of theirs: "YYZ" "Show Don't Tell"
B. Brian Brunzell Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 I'd like to recommend a few as well: "Anthem" "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" "Bastille Day" "La Villa Strangiato" and of course, "YYZ"
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 Rush memory: 1996, ripping around the shit town I lived in while listening to Caress Of FUCKING Steel on 8 track tape playing tag with a kid who owned a hatchback. Car chase fun, lots of near crashes. Mucho bangworthy tunes. 1980 Dodge Mirada + RUSH It get's no better.
slimm44 Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Posted October 17, 2003 I remember there being one song with a really awesome drum solo. cant remember the name though

Guest Nacho Nixon Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 There are three albums you need in their entirety - Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and 2112. Other than that, it's pretty much all good, but that's a decent place to start. Also, how have we gotten to this point without anyone mentioning "A Passage to Bangkok"?
