well, if your taste runs toward shrieking and generic ham fisted bombast, then rush is tip top. otherwise, its a pass.

^ oops my post got clipped

I had said that I was greatly enjoying the 1980s Rush having previously skipped everything after GUP. I spent the last couple months listening to all the 1980s Rush and would rank my favs:

1. Grace
2. Power Windows (awesome)
3. Presto
4. Roll The Bones
5. Hold Your Fire (distant 5th but still enjoyable).

But it occurred to me that most of the music isn't really proggy. I actually really like songs like Hand Over Fist and Anagram but they are really pop/rock no?

Same for lost of tunes.

But it's all really good.

Did Rush stop being a prog band with GUP and pretty much stayed non-proggy since then? Maybe Clockwork would be prog.

I'm actually not sure how to define prog. I would say at a minium there should be long songs with lots of instrumental passages, odd time signatures in parts and some time signature changes.

No matter I'm very pleased to have all this "new" material from my first love.

Reading about Peart's comments came to mind my good times listening to my double sided vynil LPs in the beginning of the 80's, among them Exit... Stage Left was a good example of that, but i also had the studio LPs Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. Other ways of listening to music...

Agreed. Wow. Interesting news. Very interesting. RHCP are ok by me.
I think Californication had some great songs on that record. OTHERSIDE is an amazing song.
One of their very best. Great album of 1999
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

For a set that short, though, even the minute-long spacey synth intro would be a big chunk out of it. Tongue

^ I'm more amazed that a rock band is playing the superbowl this year at all. Tongue
And I hope they at least play a riff from it as a joke. Clap

You heard it here first.  Red Hot Chili Peppers to play Side 1 of Rush's 2112 at the Super Bowl Halftime show on Sunday.  http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/music_and_videos/red-hot-chili-peppers-spoof-single/ 

Or at least that is what drummer Chad Smith says in jest. LOL

Of course not, you can see it's identifying symbol in the frontal side of that cover I uploaded.
Exit... Stage Left is another show which I mentioned as having the performing of Xanadu that I most enjoyed.

^What an awesome set list!

Maybe they will do a tour of 70s material only someday.

Finally watched Beyond The Lighted Stage.

Great movie, really enjoyed it.

Interesting how Alex shows disdain for the 80s stuff. Geddy still supports it. Must have been interesting times for these friends.

Hard to say. I could pick from 4-5 different albums which tend to rotate as my favorite, and they come from different eras. Caress of Steel ---> Hemispheres had some great high points, but Permanent Waves ---> Hold Your Fire was such a consistent period with good music. But then I'm also a huge fan of Presto, Counterparts, and Clockwork Angels. My usual answer is the 80's because of the consistency and Geddy's hairstyle. Embarrassed

Anything from the first album to Signals is solid.  Power Windows through Roll the Bones is 80s sounding, but still great songs.  


And Grace Under Pressure is one powerful album!

my advice would be to get Hemispheres and play it loud. Start there.
