as much as I love Rush arcer... my favourite band from 1984 to the mid 90's... doesn't that get a bit tedious?

You can't knock Rush; I doubt I could ever become bored of listening to them!  They are varied when you listen to their music from the 70s to the 00s.

thanks for the recommendation arcer.

In terms of their body of work, they are consistently good.  There are moments in the late 80s that I struggle with, but overall they are superb IMO.

I've always thought Rush were consistently great, except for the god-awful "GRACE UNDER PRESSURE"(bleck!)

Rush radio is just amazing... Great selection of rare live material, as well as great studio tracks from every album... It's like listenning to a Best Of...

Too bad I wasn't able to listen to it while I was at my office... I guess the proxy settings and that firewall s!*%^t blocked the site and had a negative effect on the stream...

But now that I am at home, I listen to it once a while, as long as I can...

If anyone is interested on Rush's videos, try http://www.2112.net/vertigo/, although you might need to have installed a version of Real Player in order to view the video stream from the site...

sbrushfan, you really hate Grace Under Pressure? I always considered it one of their best. Dark, hard-edged with some of Alex's best guitarwork. His solo in Kid Gloves and Between the Wheels... classic

Give it another go!

I didn't like it at first. That bright production cut right through me! I learned to love it. It crept up on me, and now I think it's their best 80's album...after Moving Pictures of course
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
