LOL indeed!

Lol. I guess there is a lot of "Talkin' to me?" stuff going on in those jokes.

I see you've been watching too much of The Sopranos.

So, it looks like AFTK wins. Deservedly I say. I mean really, what can beat XANADU AND CYGNUS X-1 on the same record?? Fuh-get aboud it, as the Italians say.

I was thinking of getting it. It also has another song which is the part of their Fear cyclus. How good is it?

But nothing on that album can beat Xanadu though.

I agree! Xanadu is their greatest epic.

I havent heard this album yet, but I understand that many complain about the production and the overly loud sound. Who here can tell me something about the album?

Dream Theater played it live once, in Toronto March 2002. Wish I'd been there. I sure am gonna check out their new DVD with live performances.

I dig Jacob's Ladder, it's the last true prog gem that Rush recorded. It's one of their more popular and talked about songs it seems. There is also a movie by that name, from 1990, starring Tim Robbins. A horror movie about a guy who starts seeing demons everywhere and stuff.

Freewill, just before the guitar solo. Geddy and Alex often shine in the same songs, haven't you noticed?

The Trees. Wonderful solo.

True. No votes for Hemispheres yet... That's a slight disappointment, but I guess its because it only has four tracks.

I voted for 2112. Of the ones you put up, 2112 and AFTK are pretty much tied for me as to being my favorite. Since you had chosen AFTK, I decided to go with 2112. Ah, so it was spite, wasn't it? :razz: :-D 2112 has three great songs and three good ones, IMO. Hemispheres has only four songs, but the...

Which would you say is the best Rush album? MOVING PICTURES is usually considered their most successful album, but I prefer their older releases such as A FAREWELL TO KINGS, HEMISPHERES and 2112. Overall, I think AFTK is the best. It has the most epic songs of all their albums, "Xanadu", &...

2112-the intro and the solo at around 13 minutes kick ass!
