Rush Fan Central

Dream Theater doesn't seem to mind about that kind of thing though, being that their 20th anniversary would be next year and they've already celebrated it

When was their first release?

AllMusic shows that DT was formed in 1986, but their first release was 1989.  The bio on AllMusic says that they were Majesty in 1986, and changed their name to Dream Theater in 1987 when original vocalist Chris Collins was replaced with Dominici.

heads, I request your help.

At a non-music based forum I used to frequent, someone posted this:

So Ive been on this T&S kick recently... Many similarities have occurred to me recently, and my curiosity is piqued... in a way that cant be satisfied by "ask.com" So *smacks gums while saying "so"* Tegan & Sara do this song: The Con And I cant hear less than at least 30 RUSH influences in the structure and performance of the song... its almost like Geddy Lee wrote and partially performed this song himself, yet he is not credited anywhere? Listen without looking RUSH fans... its like this came straight off the Time Stands Still album? PS - Give me some insight on the accents... how does Geddy Lee's pronunciation of long Is as ois translate from BoB & Dug's -oots and -ehs? inquiring minds want to know

What do you think?

I've been meaning to run out and get that. Don't have a Blu-Ray player, but I really want the DVD anyways. Should bring back good memories

I've been listening to a lot of Rush lately and yesterday I realized that Rush might be the only band ever who have released seven at least four-star albums in a row. Seven, people, seven. That's pretty well done. I'm talking about:

2112 ****½
A Farewell to Kings *****
Hemispheres *****
Permanent Waves *****
Moving Pictures *****
Signals ****½
Grace Under Pressure ****

^ read my review of it Scott, at least the first sentence

Caress of Steel was the first Rush CD that I ever bought.  I've loved Bastille Day from the first listen, I still get a laugh out of I Think I'm Going Bald, and I love the mellowness and lyrics of Lakeside Park.  I've always liked Necromancer and Fountain of Lamneth, but they were never favorites of my mine.  I've grown to appreciate them a lot more recently after reading so many non-Rush fans praising these 2 songs.  And I have really enjoyed them the last couple of times that I listened to them.  All that being said, it is probably still closer to my 17th or 18th favorite album from them as well.  But I am a fanboy, so that means that I love it, but not quite as much as I love the others.

I love Rush! I don't own many of their albums but I do know all their songs and they are all great! I've also seen them 3 times in concert. Being from the Toronto area, seeing Rush in their hometown is a religious experience
