I also love RUSH - immensely.
I cannot provide a top 10 song list since, for me, Rush is about album rock. For example, Moving Pictures or Permanent Waves, if I listen to 1, or 2 or 3 songs, I am left with a strange "emptiness or void" because i have NOT listened to the album in its entirety. Its strange and weird, but its an addiction for the whole production whereby i get fully immersed into the album. Sometimes I will play it 2x or 3x consecutively to get that "drug feeling" filled.
Only a true RUSH disciple knows what i'm talking about.
La Villa Strangiato and The Trees , gets a stereo volume increase and air guitar antics anytime Hemispheres is played. Encore to you!!All your chooses are brillant. I absolutely love Vital Signs, spirit of radio, Freewill, Lakeside Park, 2112, In the mood.....i will stop now because it won't end.
Truthfully, i had to google DRIVEN.From this, i have to state that its nice to see that you stuck with them for the long run. At some point, maybe around 2005, I focused on other musical tastes but still enjoy going back in time....I wish I could have seen RUSH play in concert when these albums came out: 2112, MOving pictures, permanent waves,hemishperes, farewell to kings, caress of steel.
Triumph -- i dont think its a good comparsion since they were only around for a few years,
although they made an impact as a band, they couldn't retain longevity.
A better comparison would be Rush and Neil Young( as far as Canadian artists go- not power trios).
But i have read, i think, you dislike Neil. Which to me, is a huge mistake.
Just making comments/personnel observations/ opinions |
I completely get what you're saying with regard to Rush being an album band. It has only been recently that I've been able to thing of their songs as individual units. I too tend to listen to Rush as an entire album with no skips or substitutions, especially everything up through Hold Your Fire. Fortunately, their last, Clockwork Angels, was an excellent return to form in that regard.
While far short of Rush's longevity, Triumph lasted more than just a few years, putting out solid albums from 1976 - 1989 and a couple lesser efforts thereafter.
Neil Young had already recently been done (but you're right, that's not a topic I would introduce anyway).
