And Rush...



OK, not sure if I'd find them cute if I were attracted to men.


Olivia could be airbrushed, still looks good though.

Geddy needs to cut his hair it is the 21st century afterall.

I almost feel like starting something about that, but I don't feel like it'd be worth it. Oh well, you're entitled to your opinion I guessWackoLOL

What are you talking about, Alex at the time was as cute as a button.
 
Going with Rush on this one.

When I saw Olivia popping up on the TV for the first time, some five years before she sunk into Grease, I was impressed by her looks, not by her song.
When I heard Xanadu (Rush) for the first Time, I was even more impressed.Thumbs%20Up

Now I'm thinking I really got it backwards.  I should have changed Geddy and company into a Newt(on).  Yeah, maybe even a Fig Newton...

No, in all fairness, Rush's came first, so they should come first in the transformation.  Let's see if I can turn all of Rush into three Newton Johns, bwahahahahah!!!

But, I'll have to get back with you later...

Not really a fair poll.  Perhaps if someone does the same exercise on ONJ website we might get an interesting result!!
 
I hadn't played the Rush version for some time (Ok you got me - I actually played the tracks), I had forgot how good this track was. 
 
The Rush track for me!
