I don't know if I have enough for a mailing list but here's a list of all the albums I own

That would be more than enough to trade abck and forth. Thing is I have a horrible net connection meaning that I have to upload from another connection and download from another connection. Its a pain and half the times, the connection doesnt work but I would be willing if we could get some more peeps here.

Rush Virgin
 

If you're a Rush virgin and fancy getting into their stuff then it's probably best to start with the two [B]Retrospective [/B]albums...they've got a good mix of tracks.

[B]Subdivisions [/B]is one of my favourite tracks...but to be honest they've done too much good stuff to list. I've been listening to them since I was about 12. First album I heard was [B]Fly by Night [/B], Geddy Lee's vocals were so different to anything I'd ever heard that I was instantly hooked.

Personally I've not really been able to get into their newer stuff. I'd say [B]Counterparts [/B]was the last album they did that I enjoyed. Perhaps it's just me...or maybe they've gone a bit off the boil? Interestingly when Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson released their solo albums I thought they were both great...perhaps they've started to stifle each others creativity within the band?

Perhaps someone could recommend a few of the tracks off [B]Test for Echo [/B]and [B]Vapour Trails[/B].

Earthshine from Vapour Trailsis quite good.

Resist and Dog years for Test for echo.

Well if anyone does decide to upload any albums by and prog rock band including Rush, I am:

But yea. Personally, I favor Hemispheres. It was the first Rush CD I got and has kinda stuck with me for a long time.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I went on a big non-Rush thing. Well I now have [i]every[/i] studio album of theirs so I have a lot of Rush to listen to now!

But I am listening to Test For Echo and it's extremely good. Limbo is a great instrumental with Geddy's choir like singing in the back. Resist is a nice little song too.

I have noticed their newer stuff sounds more.. alternative less "rocky" feeling to them. (With the exception of Vapor Trails) Which I think was a good direction for them. What do you think about it? I perfer their more rockish ealier material. But maybe it will grow with time to me.

/ahem

any thoughts? discussion?

Yea, I would like to keep this thread alive, too, but I haven't heard anything off of Test for Echo.

I was in Virgin records in Union Square yesterday, with a gift card that "was supposed to" have fifty dollars on it. So, I brought two albums, Hemispheres and Yes' Fragile. As it turns out, the card had two bucks on it. Two! And I couldn't bring the albums back to hte shelves, becasue that would be humiliating. So I dug into my wallet, and spent all the money I had on me. Got home, realized all the rest of my cash is in the bank. I am now kinda broke.

At least they were worth it. Hemispheres is wonderful (it finally completes my collection of their late 70's albums) Cyngus X-1 book 2 is insanely good.

Hemispheres
 

Hemispheres is an amazing album...there's an atmosphere to the whole album that is too difficult to put into words...it's one of those albums that you come back to time and time again and somehow it transports you back to the first time you heard it.

I agree...keep it alive. Why is it that the interesting threads die a death and the boring "Metallica are amazing" threads go on forever with copious amounts of pointless posts? :)

That's a good question

/wants to see R30

Hell yea, they're godly live. Is it out yet?

/knows there was discussion about this a while back

I just got 2112, and I absolutely love it. I plan to buy some more albums soon. Suggestions?

A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permenant Waves. That order.
But pretty much you can't go wrong with anything from '75-'81.

Yeah, I enjoy their '75-'81 albums the best. The newer sound has attracted me all that much but I'm giving it a few chances to grow on me. Test For Echo is a pretty good album but nothing can compare to their earlier "rockier" material.

2112 is a fantastic album with not even one weak track.

R30 is out <3 The overture is my bed time story.

Haha Joking. Great DVD, And Pearts solo is sweet.

I really need to pick that up. I loved Rush In Rio, I still watch it all the time.

Rush in Rio is an amazing dvd. It always gets me pumped to go to one of their concerts (never been to one)

I saw them two Augusts ago. They were insane. Absolutly insane. On their next tour, I highly suggest you go.

oh yeah im definitly going

Two of my dad's friends (really cool guys and HUGE Rush fans) they said we could all go on a road tip to somewhere when they tour next. They got me and my dad into rush

*Wants to join in on the road trip*

I am so at the next tour they do. It is a must! Anyone have details?

I don't know.. I know they went in for recording their new album and my dads friends said maybe late summer/next fall it would be released. So after that sometime :)
