    I'm only familiar with the songs you mention from the album Moving Pictures because I was a teenager in the eighties. My husband loves the band and we are going to their concert in two weeks. I'm listening to them as I read this thread and thinking I should expose myself to more of their music before the concert!

    Aw!

    Srsly. Limelight. Any album that has that whether originally or as part of a compilation or "best of" or kidzbop for that matter.... I don't see how anyone could say "I don't get it", after Limelight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngzWoc6W5uQ

    I don't know how people could "not get" Rush in general. But I'm obviously skewed.

    Mine was "Time Stand Still".....

    I remember seeing that music video and thinking "dafuq?!" Lol. I might suggest that to her as a song to check into other than those on whatever album she chooses.

    I've never seen the video...isn't it funny how sometimes seeing the video for a song COMPLETELY alters your experience of a song, usually for the worse? Mine was "Talking In Your Sleep" by The Romantics. I just could not get past that short unattractive guy with the bad hair in that head-to-toe leather. BLECH! And I've never been able to get into The Eurythmics because the video for "Sweet Dreams" was a "dafuq?" moment for me at 13.

    this is a strange phenomenon. currently, thrift shop by macklemore was tainted by the video. I was digging mental images of grandpa's and recliners with crochet doilies on them, peach faded velour jumpsuits, and kangols....then uh, oh it's fur coats and checkered vans, I see, so sorry... carry on.

    i think it's the principle of withheld image from writing...but transferred to music form. in fact in general i think most art benefits from being stand alone. the whole "art is subjective" loses more and more of that punch when another sense is added to it.

    They are really awesome:). The guitar and drums in Fly by Night are impressive. They definately have a signature sound.
    I think I know how I'm going to spend my Sunday now:)

    I lost mine to Anthem on Fly By Night in the 70s, like when it was released. I was at a friend's house and he asked if I'd heard RUSH yet (I hadn't). He put Anthem on and I was blown away. Same guy turned me on to UFO, AC/DC and Blue Oyster Cult. Cool friend.:drinker:

    Having said that I think 2112 would be a great choice to introduce someone to RUSH, then the debut. It is a kickass, solid album. R.I.P. John Rutsey.

    Say "Geddy Lee!"

    Rush is a musical group of some sort? What a relief. I was afraid this was a plug for that azzhole pompous windbag, Rush Self-important Loser.

    I just wanted to say Tom Sawyer came on while I was reading this thread. And Rush was the first concert I ever saw (Moving Pictures) and that I grew up in the same neighbourhood as Geddy.

    Carry on your deflowering.

    But if he could get laid regularly he might not be so angry.

    Resurrecting this thread because it is RUSH. I was able to go to a meet and greet before their R30 show in Nashville several years ago. I have a pic framed of myself in a Rush sammich between Alex and Geddy. Love.

    Signals - all the way!
