We're more or less the same age!  (I'm 16 and I was born in '88)

I was born in '88 too.

On topic, Hemispheres is too short, it's only what 32 minutes or something?

In the words of Peter Hammill..Records should be between 40-45 minutes long...anything shorter isn't fair to the consumer and most people don't have the patience for anything longer...

not that he followed these rules very well!!

In all fairness, if La Villa Strangiato is a normal rock song (good or not), I'm Geddy Lee.

whether you appreciate him or not, anyone who can sing, play bass, AND play keyboards at the same time and not fk it up on stage deserves some respect.

I love Geddy Lee! I think he's one of the most talented musicians ever... his bass work is awesome, and even if he isn't Keith Emerson or Rick Wakeman, its cool to see him handle bass, synth, and vocals onstage all at once, he's really half the band...

Okay....geez...just having fun...I really don't think Rush is THAT bad. They are talented musicians no doubt. I just have a hard time with the voice.
